Survival roguelike novellas with meaningful choices and multiple endings!

There are two scenarios currently: first one is set on a small island. It’s 1926, you’re 13 years old and it is raining. You’re looking for your lost father.

The second scenario puts you in the role of a mountaineer trying to climb an eight-thousander.

The game is moddable; you can create your own scenarios with different graphics, sounds, items, events… Technically a scenario is a directory with assets and a bunch of .json files with scripts inside. I’m using Beanshell for scripting (I know it’s outdated, but it’s very small, quite fast and works on Android).
It’s a remake of my old jam game (http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/iconified/30817/view.html) - new content, graphics, sounds etc.

Here’s the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5opxA1r5mwI

It looks interesting, but there’s nothing to play yet?

#3

You can play the old version if you wish (http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/iconified/30817/view.html). The new one will be available on Google Play soon, and on Steam when it gets greenlit.

Voted, good luck!

#5

One day I should buy the cheapest game I find on Steam so that I can vote for fellow game devs on Greenlight. :confused:

#6

Looks like the kind of game I love to play, voted for it!

#7

Is it just me, or is the snow too large?

#8

I think that the snow looks fine. It simulates an effect of distance where the snow is close while the scene is further away.
