Game: The Beckoning https://ldj.am/$426419

I am incredibly happy with our participation in Ludum Dare 59. We got together with friends, had an awesome weekend, and built a project together. This is our second LD with a slightly updated team, and honestly, I think it turned out great, even if we didn't manage to implement absolutely everything we planned.

We fixed the mistakes from our previous game: we now have a main menu, a proper "quit" button, better optimization, and a cohesive art style and atmosphere.

To be honest, the game turned out to be quite challenging, and beating it is actually pretty hard. We put a lot of effort into the final cutscene, but because of the difficulty, very few people will actually get to see it. I think that's totally unfair! So, after a quick team discussion, we decided to just show it to you right here.

There is also a second ending in the game, but you'll have to find that one yourselves (it's much easier to get—even I managed to reach it!).
