THE FICKLE HANDS OF FATE
A short single-click point and click adventure game


"Fate is finalizing her last recording in the steeple of an abandoned church in a village she is about to leave. Then, off to another city and another recording: her search is not over yet."

Made for MAGS May 2017, this game also represents an experiment I wanted to make to strip down the gameplay to a single-click, without compromising storytelling. The result is some sort of visual stream of consciousness, if you will.

I hope you enjoy playing this game, no matter what!

Neofeud

2033 - We create AI. Sentient robots arrive, but not as our Terminator overlords or our Singularity saviors -- conscious machines are humanity's unwanted bastard children. A few are geniuses who design flying cars, beat cancer, invent teleportation, but millions of defective prototypes roll out of factories -- mentally challenged, motivationally-challenged, criminally-inclined. Legally conscious, but unhirable, these "Defectives" are shuffled through public housing and welfare assistance, straining the already overburdened back of the meager social safety net. The robots who don't end up in prison are dumped, as a last resort, into a massive landfill known as "The Pile".

Humans engage in perfection of their species -- or at least the powerful and well-connected -- genetically engineering children with human and animal DNA. The failed eugenics experiment "Frankenpeople" are discarded into "The Pile" as well. The new dynasties, 'Neofeudal Lords', live in towering neon glass castles, shuttle around in pristine nanotech-enabled pods, minds and bodies full of cyberware, spending most of their time taking selfies and "optimizing their monetization schemes". A race of supermen concerned only with their own status, their prestige, their success. Where machines have become all too flawed and human, people have become flawless, perfect, cold machines.

Karl Carbon is an ex-cop, dishonorably discharged from Coastlandia PD for disobeying an order to shoot an unarmed sentient humanoid. Karl is exiled to "The Pile" as a lowly social worker. There he counsels gangbanging foster-kid robots and confiscates chimera-children from deadbeat half-wolf parents. Till one day a case goes horribly sideways and Karl is drawn into a sordid conspiracy that could threaten the strained fabric of Human-Robot-Hybrid civilization -- or save it.


About

Neofeud is a Dystopic Cyberpunk adventure game in the vein of Blade Runner, but with an overlay of Game of Thrones-like political intrigue, and 1366x768, hand-painted, stylized visuals. 

Silver Spook Games is a one-person developer, Christian Kealoha Miller, a Native Hawaiian indie developer from Hawaii. The art, stories and gameplay of Neofeud are a reflection of my experiences as a STEM teacher for the underserved youth of Honolulu's inner city. Teaching robotics, programming, and sustainability is an often difficult, stressful, and even Kafka-esque endeavor -- being in one of the richest, most beautiful places on Earth, yet dealing with families with working parents, who are living out of a van, or sleeping on the street. It is hard trying to keep the kids out of gangs, off of drugs, and on a path towards better opportunities, such as the ones I had growing up in a slum area of paradise while going to an upscale private school. I made Neofeud to be a fun and engaging game in and of itself, but I also wanted the player to think about the society in which we live, as well as the one which we may be heading toward if nothing is done.

Neofeud took approximately 2 1/2 years to create. The writing, art, programming, music, and 1/2 of the voice acting was done by Silver Spook.

-Amayirot Akago
-Fitz
-Azure

The siren call of spending time in a beautiful apartment may be dangerous...

I'd like to nominate mine and Krys' game, only for music and writing (in the rest of the categories I don't think it can compete with the many other amazing titles here already!)



The Chrysalis

Your character was invited by a person he knows since they
were in school - they now are in their thirties. He falls in love with
this person's apartment, due to the elegant rooms, but also the antique
furniture and - last but not least - the paintings his host has created
(they are macabre).
While your character would like to just stick
around and move from room to room, he is also a bit alarmed, because...
his host has left him, without saying why; he just noted that he has
something to do, and will return soon.
You wonder if the other person
has gotten involved into some bizarre story, or strange interests.
Nevertheless... you are happy to be given the opportunity to explore the
apartment on your own.

About

Created with AGS, gfx modelled with Blender.
Adapted from one of my printed short stories.
The Chrysalis is a free horror adventure game, and is my first creation.
Special thanks to Krzysztof Gorzkowski for the music!

The Adventure of the Hero

Originally made for MAGS February 2017, it received a small update several months later.

A great hero has been sent on a quest to defeat an evil witch, but things soon go awry when a time portal into the future is opened up.
Join the hero as he defeats a witch, gives incredibly life changing career advice, makes alcohol, and saves all of time and space!

I did all of the voice acting (of which there were nearly a thousand lines if I remember correctly) within two days, and had a sore throat for a week as a result.

I forgot a couple of little games I released at the end of the year - might be worth a shot for Best Non-Adventure Game and in the case of AGS Cycles possibly even best programming (not that I think my coding was anything special at all, but someone who commented on the game's release thread mentioned that they thought there must have been some nifty programming involved.)



Lunar Lander

A one-switch game where you use your engines judiciously to battle gravity and land as gently as possible! Every time you land, you start again from a higher height.

This is a comedy-noir adventure with a hard-boiled tough guy as protagonist who has to investigate on a vegetable multiple murder.
