An experimental "RPG" concept, where the "combat" involves running away from a monster.

Time your strides, or risk getting devoured by a monster. Eat your meds for health.

Inspired by the QTE system in RPGs like Paper Mario, and Bug Fables.

WebGL may be buggy, so beware.

Playing the windows build, full screen is highly recommended.

Tips

  1. If you are having trouble with the QTE, try hitting the right arrow key RIGHT BEFORE the gauge reaches the green zone, not in it.
  2. Leg Braces > Allopurinol > Cherry Juice > Colchicine
  3. Don't take the story/lore too seriously, I actually made it up as I go, lol.

Bonus point for anybody who know what My Eldritch Leg is referencing (hint: it's a real world injury)

Cheats:

F1 - 9999 Money/Coupons

F2 - Instant "Heal" (only in chase scene)

F3 - Get 10 of all items

Update 28/07/2021 - Buffed regen rate of "green zone", fixed a bug regarding the inventory, fixed WebGL build crashing due to null reference.

Personal Note: Been busy with work (and lazy), I barely have any time to develop the game. I realized on the last day that the "combat"  component is severely lacking. I originally wanted the moves/items to be used during the chase, but there is nothing stopping the player from spamming items at the very start of the round. More robust mechanisms are probably needed for this concept to realize it's potential.

Also, this is extremely over-scoped, lol, what am I doing, should have stuck with simple stuff. I did learn quite a bit though.
