THE FURNACE (DEMO)
Briefly explore the heart of The Furnace in this experiment/demo. Made in Scratch/Turbowarp.
HOW TO PLAY
CONTEXT
This was a short little test I put together when I had COVID in Oct. 2023. The goal? To see if I could create an old school Flash Point and Click adventure... in SCRATCH. Yes! This whole demo was done in scratch over the span of a week.
I never really finished it-- Though at the time, I had a full idea, but as I worked more and more with Scratch, the harder and harder it got to actually get this engine to do what I want. BUT! I did get a working pause, map, inventory, and navigation system working, as well as dialogue boxes--- you get the idea. The week was mostly spent making systems instead of anything story-wise.
And as I wrote more of my story, the more this game's original plan had no place. I had moved my sights elsewhere, but it felt like a waste to never get this out there. So, I took the time to add an end screen. I know there really isn't much "game" to this thing, but it was a great experiment. Hope you enjoy clicking around my first "standalone" game!
KNOWN ISSUES
Going to try and fix the poor performance if possible, it's a bit difficult working and optimizing Scratch lol....

incredible work!
short demo but i understand, good!
slow load but great concept really look forward to what ever you come up with next
This was a really cool demo! Really took me back to the early 00s era of point and click browser games, and I dig the general atmosphere.
I noticed that use of HL2 sound effects too :p
Had some issues loading on Newgrounds, but it worked fine on your website. Great aesthetic, the environment looks totally awesome so I wanted to explore the world more! I would love to see a bigger project like this (maybe in a more suitable engine.)
Good to know my web version works alright! Will figure out the Newgrouds version today. I will definitely be doing a full version of this idea one day! Just gotta find the time!
