The CHEST. Chapter 0:Prologue

THE CHEST is a minimalist 2D psychological retro-horror story about a night taxi driver who accepts a routine fare to an isolated psychiatric asylum out in the woods... and ends up trapped in a sinister, recurring nightmare. This project is a small prototype originally created for Moscow Jam. Hey everyone! I'm a beginner solo developer, so the pixel art is still pretty rough and the demo doesn't have a lot of content just yet. I released this build on Itch.io to see if the core story, atmosphere, and mechanics resonate with players. I want to know if you'd be interested in seeing the project expanded into a full game with a Chapter 1 (featuring new gameplay mechanics, different perspectives, and deeper lore)! Please leave a comment below to let me know: Did you find the concept/story interesting? What would you like to see added or improved? Any feedback on the retro horror vibe? The future of THE CHEST depends entirely on your feedback! Looking for an Artist / Collaborator! Since I'm still learning and my graphic skills are limited, I'm actively looking for a 2D Pixel-Art Artist who likes retro-horror aesthetics (inspired by FAITH: The Unholy Trinity) and would be interested in joining forces to help bring the full vision of this game to life! If you're an artist who wants to collaborate on this project, feel free to reach out to me on Discord https://discord.gg/23adXJpXJ
