The Lost Rifleman by freamdev
Try your best to survive the night in the forest with your trusty musket!
The Lost Rifleman is a quick, fun, 5-minute horror/shooter where you play as the titular lost soldier, who finds himself trapped in a forest surrounded by terrifying ghosts. Can you keep his sanity intact?
My beautiful menu, which I threw together in the last hour. I really hate how the buttons turned out.
That ghost looks adorable, but trust me, it's a menace!
This time around, I tried my absolute best to focus on game feel and atmosphere, which meant spending more than half my time on the goddamn lighting. I still don't know how to make it work properly, so I had to fake the entire darkness using heavy black linear fog that just turns everything pitch-black beyond a certain distance. It's not Penumbra good, but atleast its not Game of Thrones bad?
I'd love to hear what you think of the game! Let me know what you enjoyed, what I could improve, and how long you managed to survive in Endless Mode!
EDIT: I lock the mouse cursor to the middle and every now and then chrome throws an error because of it, weird behaviour I'll look into it in the next few days.
