A downloadable game for Windows

a Sacrifice in Light

Escape the procedural labyrinth you are stuck in. Use the weapons in your hands to fight the monsters that roam the halls and get trough to the padlocked hatch.

As you take damage the walls of your body degrade, letting out light to help you see.

This was a chance for me to stretch my limits in game development, the first game that i have made that features:

- Procedural generation

- FOV shading

- A minimap

The game also has a special focus on sound design

This game was made for the 3rd Blackthronprod Game Jam.

Controls:
[WASD]: movement
[1,2,3]: weapon selection
[mouse]: aiming
[mouse left button]: shooting

Due to the shoddy way i coded the shadows, they heavily rely upon the CPU. If my patchwork shadow rendering or copious particles cause any slowdown you can turn them off on the starting menu.
