Ghost Castle

A survival-scary-rescue 3D game made by Anagh's World for Trijam #275, Mini Jam #161: Style & Godot Wild Jam #70

This game is developed using Godot 4.2.2 which is having few issues with Web exports. I have tried my best to fix the issues in my game to make it browser compatible. If you encounter any issue, then please refresh your browser and try again, sometimes it helps. If you still face the issue, then try out the Windows executable and also please let me know in the comments section. Linux & Mac users please use Wine to run the .exe file.

For better experience, play in FULLSCREEN and with HEADSETS.

Plot

In a secluded village, two brothers, Shemdya and Taklya, shared an unbreakable bond. One evening, curious Taklya ventured to the forbidden island and stumbled upon an eerie, ghostly castle. Drawn by its mystery, he entered, only to be trapped by the malevolent spirits within.

When Shemdya discovered Taklya missing, he knew where to find him. Armed with courage and a lantern, Shemdya entered the ghost castle. The heavy doors slammed shut, but he pressed on, undeterred by ghostly whispers and shadows.

Time is running out, the game starts now... you play as Shemdya

Rest of the folklore...

Shemdya reaches the room where Taklya was trapped and rescues him. The spirits vanish, and the castle's grip weakens. Together, they escape the castle.

The villagers celebrated their return, and the tale of Shemdya and Taklya becomes a legend, a testament to the strength of brotherly love and bravery against all odds.

Jams & Themes

• Trijam #275 (Simple but hard)
  • The game is very simple to play but hard to complete.
  • Every time the game restarts the position of all the objects change, making it more difficult to play. This also makes the game re-playable again.
  • The game basics/prototype was made in around 3-4 hours, but the rest of the polishing took a few more.
    
• Mini Jam 161 (Style)
  • The game style is medieval.
  • The limitation was 'On a budget'. The time is running out and the player is on a limited budget of money/coins which he can use to buy time.
• Godot Wild Jam #70 (Folklore)
  • The entire story of the game is based on a folklore. Please read the 'Plot'.
  • The game is made using Godot 4.2.2

How To Play

Your only mission is to rescue your brother Taklya. You have limited time and money. If your feel you are running out of time then try to find a clock on a wall from where you can buy more time. Try to stay away from ghosts and be quick.

Why 3 Jams?

You might ask why I participate and submit games in multiple jams at a time. The reason is, it gives more exposure to my games and also makes it more challenging for me to develop a game based on multiple Jam themes and rules.
