Dread by SuperPokeunicorn

made by SuperPokeunicorn for LD33 (COMPO)

Dread is a slasher flick game in which you play the killer. Kill all of the victims without being seen to move onto the next level. There are 5 levels in total and the levels loop once you beat the game. Victims will not see you while you are cloaked, but cloaking takes time to charge up, leaving you vulnerable for a few seconds.

I think with some sounds or music it would have 'felt' better, but it was a pretty neat concept. The art was also bangin!

Funny you should mention that. I actually spent an hour composing music for the game, but there was trouble actually implementing it in code :'(

I think that this game was very good and the stealth mechanics worked pretty well. I think that some sounds really could've brought this game to its fullest potential, but for what it is I think this is a good game.

Good news! I fixed the bug that was causing the music not to play! The latest version has working music.

They are random walkings? Sometimes it was rly hard ;)
Nice one, i like it, but at start didn't read controls))
Good character design and stealth mechanincs!

Yes, the movement is random. Basically, they move to a random room, wait, then move again.

Neat game, both hard and satisfying, I like it! Also, I feel like no one noticed this cute and awesome little animation of monster's cape. ;)

Hey Man! I can not play the game , the windows have fixed size , and my notebook have low resolution ... Can you generate a build with small resolution support?

🎤 SuperPokeunicorn

26. Aug 2015 · 01:02 UTC

I just added a smaller window size version for those with low resolution monitors.

The graphics are simple, but works very well. It was a little challenging, but I have passed all levels!

Simple but effective! Nice stealth mechanics and a bit hard! At one point it felt that I was playing the same levels... did it loop? Didn't get to the end...
I guess the stages could be a bit darker to match better with the theme? Just a thought. Great job still!

I see! Thank you for your reply ^^

It's quite fun when I got the hang of it!
I found the cloak wasn't very useful since it takes too long to cloak and uncloak. It would be nice to be able to attack while cloaked and uncloak immediately.
The elements work very well together. I tried playing as fast as I can for a challenge, and there is interesting decision making taking risks when there is time pressure!

I have a problem... The game runs in a window and I can't put it fullscreen, so the player shows out of my sight and I can't play. Do you know how can I fix it?

If the window is too big for your monitor, please download the "smaller window size" version.

Thans for pointing the smaller window size! Nice idea, simple and fun! I think victims detect you too fast... Maybe in a darker scenario their sight will be lower? Anyway, great game. Keep on with the good work!

Nice entry. I think it has huge potential to be something great. However, right now it is solely based on random chance. It would be neat if you programmed some AI. For instance, two of the people might like each other and go to the bedroom. Or all of them go to the living room to watch tv and one goes to get snacks. It would also be neat to see them freak out when they see a dead friend.
