[VGD 1002 FINAL] Death of a Southern Belle
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
This is a short demo of my game idea for my Principles of Game Design final.
You play as Juliana Williams, a girl who moves to her parent's small town after the death of her grandparents. As she goes through the motions, she notices something...off about the town. But ghosts can't be real, right? As she discovers the horrors of what looks like a normal small southern town on the surface, will she uncover the truth? Or will the snake swallow her whole, losing everything in the process?
This game is inspired by the Southern Gothic literature genre, which features stories of the grotesque and other unsettling themes.
All credit to Ethel Cain, whose instrumentals for "A House in Nebraska" and "Western Nights" are featured in the demo as background music. I do not own these songs, nor do I claim to. As this game is for a final exam, I have made it available for free, I make no money from this.
