The client works fine for me!

Thank you, very kind of you! If you like Barker we probably have the same influences, like Cronenburg and Lynch. If you want another tester or anything else that would help let me know, happy to support

This looks excellent, definitely my sort of game. Can't wait!

I first played version 1.0.0 and didn't quite understand the game... then I realized I had experienced a bug! When I played version 1.0.4, everything made perfect sense. The visual style reminded me of Simon the Sorcerer—in fact, the Anchorite kinda reminds me of "Runt, the farmboy" physically.

Spoiler

Even though I sort of saw it coming, I really enjoyed the Truman Show-style plot twist.

The music fits perfectly with the atmosphere. Great little game, indeed.

Ah yes, the two week game jam limit meant that testing wasn't as in depth as I would have hoped, but I was able to iron it out after a couple of days thankfully.

I love Simon the Sorcerer, I have so many fond memories of the first one on my Amiga, good times.

The music was by Bernardo Uzeda (a composer from Brazil who works on a lot of Netflix shows) and is doing the music for Carnival and hopefully The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak too, he's fantastic. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

�Great little game here.  Loved the story, the ambient, and it's beautiful!
You could write Doctor Who episodes. 

Thank you! Very much appreciated

Awesome! I will add to my nominations

I've contacted the Black Hawk dev and asked him to do it too!

Such a beautiful game, your art always delivers!

Oh man, I was looking for it to nominate! Wondered where it was. Next year then. Fantastic game by the way!

Thank you again for featuring one of my games! Much appreciated

A young boy awakens in a strange set of rooms at the top of a tower. He is told that he is to become the 'Anchorite', and must follow three commandments:

Thou shalt complete the daily tasks.

Thoug shalt not look upon the sullied.

Thou shalt not leave the tower.

He is told that he must do this to reach enlightenment, and that it is not only for his own good, but for the good of the city.
Many years pass, and the Anchorite adapts to his new life, until he sees something unexpected at the window, and his life, which had seemed so safe and serene, begins to unravel...

Created in two weeks for the Adventure X Jam 2024.

It begins with one cut.

You play as Doctor Joshua Hagstrom, as he finds himself trapped in an otherworldly fever dream. Just who is the mysterious patient? How can Dr Hagstrom escape? And will he live to see his family again?

Teeth of Glass is a short point & click horror fever dream, with two different endings.

Very wise words! I once lost my Globalscript and luckily had made a copy two weeks earlier to test UI, I am VERY CAREFUL NOW

Development is going well - I have updated the original post with new benchmarks, a new trailer and new screenshots.

Please also add this short game to the database! 

Thank you for reminding me! Just done

This looks great! Happy to help with any questions about the process for getting the game on Steam (you will have to pay the Steamdirect fee though, about 90 euros), or anything else if I can help, I am not the most experienced in this group but I know how daunting it can be starting out. Email me at beyondbooleans@gmail.com if you want

I really like the look of this, interesting premise and retro dystopia vibe, very nice!

Congratulations! It's a great game, love the style

I think I fixed that (I hope), there was a hotspot that was interfering with others... thank you for playing by the way
