Secrets of the old graveyard

Secrets of the old graveyard

An evil curse has overtaken the town.
You must gather the secrets to break the curse.
Some of the graveyard's residents might be willing to help.

We made this game for the Spooktober 2023 game jam.

INFO:
Movement: WASD
L: Drop held item
J: Give held item to grave ghost
F11: Fullscreen toggle
Bottom left screen is you're progress/scroll counter

Movement tips
Hold down multiple movement/turn keys,
it'll automatically turn at the first opportunity.
Input priority goes from latest key pressed to oldest.
And it'll ignore any input that runs you into a wall.

Ghost tips
Once you walk by a haunted grave
the daytime blue ghost will appear
walk away from it and the ghost will vanish
but its item request will stay until fulfilled.

Here's what you do
In the daytime, go by the haunted (Red outlined) graves
the possessing ghost will display to you what it wants.
Find the item on the map and give it to the ghost. They will reward you with a scroll that helps them transition to the afterlife.
Get 13 scrolls to unlock the spell to break the curse
When nighttime hits, run!
Ghosts are on you're tail!
Undeath doesn't do well for the senses,
use that to your advantage.
Survive the night!

Will you be able to break the curse
before the graveyard's residents claim your soul?

Dev notes:
We over-scoped a bit, and life got busy,
but we were able to pull it together in the end.

We hope you enjoy our game!
