Plug and Pray by Maksim Chugunov

[raw]
made by Maksim Chugunov for Ludum Dare 60 (COMPO)

You wake blind, plugged into something vast and long dead.

Whatever you find, plug it in. Then pray it helps.

How to play

  • Click the map to walk (arrow keys work too).
  • Orange words and buttons are commands. Lost? Type or click where. help lists everything.
  • Double-click a module to plug it in or take it out. Hover it to read what it does.
  • Once you can see: WASD to walk, mouse or trackpad to look (←/→ or Q/E too), click or Space to shoot. Tab gives the cursor back.
  • If you fall, you wake again somewhere new.

Desktop browser, sound on. A trackpad is enough.

Made solo in 48 hours for the Ludum Dare 60 Compo, theme "Old Tech".

There's a lot going on but fundamentally game is very simple. You just walk around, look for modules and install them. Attacking happens automatically, you just have to get close to an enemy. Later when you have an eye you can walk around like in FPS and kiting enemies becomes possible. So idea is that you get a bunch of old tech to give you abilities, upgrade them by installing new ones. There are 4 zones in the game, each has a boss at the end.

Opt-outs: Graphics and Audio, because AI tools did most of the work on the 3D look and the sound.
