Description


MÆRE is an experimental horror game I made for Halloween this year about trying to fall asleep in a haunted room.

The game takes around 7 minutes to complete. The game is best experienced with headphones. The game is a little dark as I was trying to reproduce the feeling of being in a dark room and staring out trying to make out different shapes. But I've tried it on 4 different monitors and I think its possible to see whats happening.


HOLD SPACE to close your eyes.

RELEASE SPACE to open them.


Keep your EYES CLOSED and FEAR METER low to fall asleep.


If you hear something in the dark it will raise your FEAR METER, as will seeing an entity.

It is difficult to fall asleep if you are afraid. So make sure you keep your FEAR METER low.


You can reduce your FEAR METER by looking around the area where ou heard the noise coming from, this will reassure you that the area is safe.


Use ARROW KEYS to look around.


Ghosts thrive on attention. So if you do see something that should not be there. Don't pay attention to it and eventually it will leave you alone.


When asleep you may dream.

Nothing can hurt you in a dream.

But you may still feel the sensation of pain.


Controls


Arrow Keys: Look around the room

Hold Space: Close your eyes

Release Space: Open your eyes

it's a good game, although i wish you could lose. hopefully you release the full version this halloween!

sleep paralysis simulator?

The concept is cool as hell, and I'm sad there's no more nights or more difficulties to go through, tho I understand it's like a "Beta", keep it up dude, I enjoyed it

Chris responds:

I’m planning to make a much more advanced version around Halloween this year. With this one I was limited to a short deadline as it was a jam game. But in the next one I’ll be able to do so much more as I won’t be limited in this way.

its great the problem is that there no losing the game i didnt even close my eyes at all and i still won idk if that broken for me but ya..

Chris responds:

Nah its working as intended. I made this in a week for a game jam so I didn't have time to make it that complex. However I am going to make a much bigger and better version of the game later this year where you can lose and there are more ghosts and demons so no two games will be the same.
