ORDEAL by Don_Martinez
ORDEAL
A short Point-N-Click - Adventure in which you unriddle a long forgotten
day far in the past. The player is the killer - but he isn't playing him.
Instead he is taking control over a young woman to protect her from his own murderous frenzy. Did she survive? Which memory might be lost forever?
Search the film studio for items, combine them with objects in room and build a trap to stop the killer!
There are two text endings: one where the girl gets killed by the chainsaw. That means game over! You uncovered your inner Monster and there is no escaping it.
Then ofcourse, there is also the possibility for the girl to escape...
How to Play:
Hover cursor over objects:
-Hand: Interact/Take
-Square and Arrow: Hide in Object (Killer might check)
Click on objects in inventory an then on objects on level to usem them on these.
Double click to run faster!
//Disclaimer: Game Maker's pathfinding is a bit obscure sometimes. If you get out of bounds, please use "R".
YOU ARE THE MONSTER:
-Killer looks exactly like you. (If you answered all questions truthfully)
UPDATE: The killer is a lot slower now. More time for puzzle solving!
Also the game restarts after you were killed. I'm sorry for the lack of text, originally i wanted to include a lot more into the game to give you more clues what to do / what the objects are and to develope the story further. I had so much left to do in the last hours of the dare, so this cut short. I didn't want to change the game itself afterwards, so additionally here is a quick walkhrough if you get stuck:

You are probably talking about the bear trap? Put it down on the red cross far to the right.
@Quetzakol Yeah unfortunally there are problems with the pathfinding sometimes. I will try to optimize them.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
Also, I'm curious, why GameMaker and not Adventure Game Studio?
