I'm finally done, The Lost Rifleman!

Managed to upload just a couple of minutes before the time ended, can't belive Unity decided to export for 15 minutes even tough it only took it like 2-3 minutes all day...

The Lost Rifleman is a short, 5-minute horror shooter where you play as a lost soldier trapped in a cursed forest, surrounded by terrifying ghosts. Armed with nothing but your trusty musket, your goal is to survive until dawn without losing your sanity.

This time around, I really wanted to focus on game feel and atmosphere, which somehow resulted in me spending more than half my development time fighting with Unity's lighting system. In the end, I pretty much faked the entire darkness with heavy black fog. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I also managed to squeeze in an Endless Mode, so if the regular 5-minute experience isn't enough, you can see just how long you can survive before the forest claims you.

I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out, even if there are a million things I'd love to improve!

You can play it right here: https://freamdev.itch.io/the-lost-rifleman

I'd love to hear what you think! Any feedback is appreciated, and if you give Endless Mode a shot, let me know how long you survived!

Good luck to everyone with their LD60 entries! Can't wait to try some of your games!
