No turning back (Trijam Submission)

Well. This is the first game jam I ever entered, and I decided to make a narrative horror thing which is really hard to do in 3 hours* and probably a really bad idea. The gameplay is both very obtuse and very simple, and I don't know if the hints of story are comprehensible either, but I wanted to stick to the time limit so it is what it is. SPOILERS/EXPLANATION The idea is there's some kinda supernatural, zombie-adjacent virus outbreak. The protagonist thinks they're infected and are driving to the closest hospital for a cure. They have to ask for directions, but half the cashiers are being controlled by the virus and intentionally give you the wrong directions, so you kinda have to vibe check them. (There were going to be more hints, differences in sprites based on if they're infected or not, but I didn't have time to make them.) You encounter more weird things the more wrong turns you take, and if you get lost completely you lose. For some reason the sound loops seamlessly in Godot, but not in the web export. I'm not in the mood for troubleshooting :-( *not including all the time I spent looking at stock photos and getting frustrated with how bad the search functions on stock websites are I used photos and audio from: koh04160 on pixabay.comTNP on pexels.comJan Kroon on pexels.comYuval on freesound.orgstereodivo on freesound.orglwdickens on freesound.orgAndrewAlexander on freesound.orgProdavač :-)
