Funhouse Blackout by AndideBob
A simple Funhouse. The rules are easy, find the Key, then find the Exit. But what happens when the Power goes out?
Well, you are left alone with a Hopsie the Clown and your phone of course.
Goal
The goal of Funhouse Blackout is to escape. To do that you have to find a key that is hidden somewhere in the maze, which is the funhouse.
After you found the key you then have to find the door and voila you are free.
Sure this would be an easy task, if it were not for the total darkness, thanks to the blackout. Now you have to navigate the maze just using
your phone to tell you where you are facing and to mark doorways on it. You can also use the phone to snap a picture, which lights up whatever
is in front of you. But you have to watch out! Your battery is draining with every move you make.
Controls
- W to move forward (You will hear your steps if you moved)
- A+D to turn left or right
- ENTER to take a picture (If you take a picture of the key, you automatically pick it up. To finish the game you need to take a picture of the door while having the key.)
- Hold E to look at the last picture you took
- ARROW-KEYS to mark doorways on your map
Note
The map stays the same, since I didn't have time to put in randomization. Also there might be non-predictable deaths because the enemy doen't signal properly when he is around the corner.
Have fun!

Overall solid entry!
I loved the audio, the first time I died the horn squeaking killed me, I did not want to hear more, dropped my headphones and all. The jumpscare was a bit unnecessary, the audio did a better job of scaring me.
Even though it was scary you managed to fit some humor into it!
Questions:
Is the mapLayout the same every time I play? Im guessing to win I will need to memories the roots to the key and the door? Because there is no way I can find them both in on try just looking around. It took me 4 tries before I even found the door, the key is still missing.
On some attemps I was not sure why i was killed, had had plenty of pattery, are the some rooms that are instant death?
Overall nice work! Also f*** f8
@eott Thank you for the input:D
@landberglife So i guess we're never going to meet up! Glad that you like my voice acting :) F8 was my idea so you're welcome! The map is always the same btw! Also no instant-death rooms, but the clown might enter the same room as you go to sometimes.
@conno-hagan I'm also a big fan of horror, and i agree, best played with headphones so you can actually feel the breathing in your neck. :D
Nah, just kidding. Nice game! I like the concept.
I am not good for this kind of games but I had a nice time playing it.
Nice work!
@mspawa Yea i know exactly what you mean. Was the intro-screen too misleading? ;^)
very hard to complete it though :P I had to draw the entire map to find the location of the key and the exit door:

BUG report: Most of the times I took a picture of the key I didnt get it. (Spent around 2 hours taking pictures of the wall with the key until it finally appeared on the smartphone)
Awesome job!
@everyone I really like all the good feedback, we had a blast making the game and I bet I also speak for @chron when I say that it makes it so much more awesome to see that other people are enjoying it as well! So thank you all!
Great work! Cool mechanics!
