LD 47: Endless Night

How to Play

You’re trapped in an endless cycle of rebirth, in a different graveyard every time. Fortunately, you are gaining in power and can summon more souls to harvest and make your escape. 

Your first night starts innocently enough. Get your bearings and collect a soul orb or two. Then, when you're ready,  bring them back to your glowing purple phylactery. 

Those harvested souls can be exchanged between nights to summon and enchantment the undead of the graveyard. Using the green glowing power of your necromantic staff, blast those undead to pieces, separating their wretched husks from the juicy and conveniently condensed soul orbs that they carry. 

Collect as many soul orbs as you can each night before retiring to the safety of your glowing purple phylactery.  With every purchase, the nights get more and more hectic. 

Controls

• Move - WASD or Arrow Keys
• Shoot - Left Click
• Look - Mouse
• Mouse Sensitivity - 1(slow) - 9(fast) This has varied from system to system, I recommend hitting 1 when you start if the control is too sensitive and increase until it feels right.   
• Unlock Mouse - Left Shift will release the mouse from the screen, in case you need to quickly hide that you're playing games in your browser instead of working. 

About the Game

Endless Night is a Compo entry for Ludum Dare 47: Stuck in a Loop. While struggling to get attached to the theme, I started working on random art assets. Those assets pointed me in a direction of a "graveyard" theme. Rogue-like randomness and the sudden urge to make a third person game brought Endless Night to life. I hope you have some fun blasting zombies, skeletons, and ghosts in the face with your magic. Get in there and empower that graveyard!
