Lurker of the Night: Shamzalla by VividReality
ATTENTION: JAM VERSION ONLY SUPPORTS A RESOLUTION OF 1920*1080
For a post-jam version with fullscreen fix, please visit the web link.
Greetings your spookiness. Where are we, you ask? You are in the room of a little girl, and you have to scare her! Why? Well, because YOU ARE THE MONSTER!
But beware, the girl has a flashlight! Don't let her find you! It will reveal your true identity! Try to find some good places to hide before you scare her.
Your skills are at the bottom of the screen. Click them, or use their respective number key. But most of all ... be VERY spooky!

Linux users please install LÖVE (0.9.2)
The Good:
- Loads of content
- Fully voiced
- Adaptive music
- Fully animated character
- Pathfinding
- Lighting engine
- 10+ unique interactive icons with voiced description
- All assest are custom made during the jam except for fonts
The Bad:
- We wanted to do more with the item system. The system is there, there are just no items, but we ran out of time.
- We wanted more interactive objects, but we ran out of time.
- Too little content. ;)
Known Bugs:
- Resolution lower than 1920 * 1080 isn't supported. Fixed in post-jam version.
- Clicking on items can be stupid. When you click on an item you would expect it to work, but if you click on a place where you aren't allowed to come, the pathfinder can't compute the way there, so your character won't go there. If you stumble upon this bug, please try to click somewhere else within the items radius.

Enjoyed the music and voice acting!
@duskpn: That is an issue on computer screens with a lower resolution than 1920 * 1280, which is an issue we had no idea of until an hour after submission. That's why we provided a post-compo version on our website with a resolution fix.
The voice acting for the cute/passive-aggressive monster isn't my thing but is probably really appealing for a wide audience. Gameplay is a little clunkier on a laptop as it relies so much on switching between powers which is awkward using a touchpad and number keys. Minor interface issues include the cursor blocking the description of a power at the bottom of the screen.
I'm gonna call you mister cuddles <3
Nice game, great narrating voice and clean graphic!
Well done!

I Löve it :)
Neat game though. You might say I... 'love'd it?
I made a small video with gameplay footage of it, I couldn't really figure out how to properly play it though.
Check it out here if you feel like it!!
