It's one thing you really managed to capture the utter terror of Cthulhu's might... But I didn't expect it to also have such a deep reflection on the horror of inevitability and predeterminism versus free will. Can't believe this is free to play, although I won't sleep tonight.

Use arrow keys to put Ctulhu's missing eye back. Just don't overdo...
P.S.: There is no way to win - it's Ctulhu.
Inco-Nito responds:
The moment he sets his eyes on you - you know you're fucked, and every step you make in a futile attempt to run away, no matter what way it is, it only brings you one step closer to inevitable. But there's an end for every madness afterall.
Thanks! Basically I made this short thing as a little demo for a trick I discovered in Bitsy editor that allows you to hide your character sprite on screen. This was you can implement some new game mechanics beside the intended one.
nice
If "existential dread" was what you were going for, you failed.
Inco-Nito responds:
No, It's you failed to dread.
Hm. Okay. I understand there's no way to win, but there's also no way to do anything differently, no options. The entire game can be completed in less than two seconds if you hold the up arrow.
The premise also isn't anything spectacular, although I do like the animated face of Cthulhu, but that's, unfortunately, all there is in this game.
'It Was 4' was a better game; but still, I'd consider trying a different, less restrictive game engine than Bitsy (e.g. Construct is simple enough and doesn't require any programming).
Inco-Nito responds:
Two second of existential dreadd - is exactly what I tried to convey.
