Escorting The Unstable by EOShadows
The fate of humanity rests on you being able to escort a mentally broken individual. You have to be on your toes, ready for the unpredictable actions of your companion. Will you have what it takes to beat this twist on the classic escorting mission?

Your escortee has four behaviors:
- Following you.
- Attacking you.
- Standing still.
- The desire to walk off a cliff.
You need to be wary of any of these behaviors happening at any moment!
Controls:
- WASD ~ Movement.
- Left Mouse Click ~ Fire weapon.
- Right Mouse Hold ~ Grab onto the escortee.
- Space or LShift ~ Dash in direction of cursor.

Maybe some warning second before "mentally broken individual" starts attacking you would be helpfull
@vasuka Thank you! I considered adding a warning, but I wanted to kind of enhance the “unpredictable behavior” of the individual. But since you’ve brought that up in your feedback that might be something to think more about!
Absolutely take this thing further! I'd love to play a full release of this.
My only complaint is a lack of sound - which, obviously it's LD and time is limited, but the atmosphere could have been so much thicker if there was just some ambient sounds!
Thank you so much, @tom-robson ! Yeah, I even had ideas for the audio as I developed the game, but I ran out of time. Couldn't even get to several other things I wanted to, such as health kits. But I'm glad you liked the game so far regardless of the lack of audio!
@thetotemguy Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked my game! I put a condition that the unstable escortee needs to be in close proximity to you when you reach the end in order to win, though I guess I could still see you being able to pick them up and book it to the end with a chance of no events occurring. I'll have to look into improving on that! Thanks for the feedback!
@kit-gorn Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
The game really looks great, good work!
It is a pity that there is no sound...
