NG Game Jam 5 Teams had to make games based on literary classics.
Author Comments
EDIT: v1.1 submitted. v1.1 converts typing the combination into clicking, as was originally planned for. Most books and quotes are now manually exit-able, as requested by many. Also, most of the hotspots for movement are smaller and now only cover an area slightly bigger than the arrow. Plus a few other bugfixes.
Submitted for Newgrounds Game Jam 5. The game was made in three days, as with all the other Game Jam games.
The Outsider is a point-and-click adventure using only mouse controls. Click on items to interact with them or pick them up. Click on items in inventory to use them or combine them with other iventory items.
This is Team New World Order's entry into the Newgrounds Game Jam 5! The theme was literature, and we have adapted H.P. Lovecraft's short story The Outsider into a point and click adventure game. I had a blast working with Aigis and J-qb this past weekend, and we all had fun giving it our all.
There's really not a whole lot to say in terms of the game. We'll let it speak for itself. Any bug reports go to me. Near the end the game looked like it was about to fall apart, but thankfully my programming and Aigis's testing saved us from total failure. Nevertheless, there may be some remnants of the more uncommon bugs or glitches in there, but we know the game is perfectly playable.
Also, the original short story, The Outsider, is available to read online. Search for it.

Good Game
It was a good game. I didn't finish it because I felt rushed (on my own terms), but it is a good game.

Outsider
"This I have known ever since I stretched out my fingers to the abomination within that great gilded frame;
stretched out my fingers and touched a cold and unyielding surface of polished glass." Creepy and awesome.

Lilium ! <3
I loved this game ! Especially the end, Lilium is my favourite song since I watched Elfen lied (if you can give this song to me, the quality is awesome !)
Then, the story seem to be from a book, isn't it ? ^^ (but I just can't remember the title ^^")
Um, The Outsider. The game The Outsider is from the short story The Outsider by H.P. Lovecraft.
As for the song, it is listed in the Author and File Information, and is available for download if you go to it's page. - Brian
