[LynxJam 2020] Black Pit - turn on your Lynx, close your eyes

[Fadest]

This is my entry for the the LynxJam 2021.

I hope you are not afraid in the dark, because you will (nearly) alone.

It is a very experimental game, where your eyes will be kind of useless, and you will play by hearing sounds.

 

So you are in a dark labyrinth. The only informations you have are the timer, your compass, your sonar and your computer.

The sonar makes a different sound each time it touch an obstacle, which can be a wall, a teleportation gate or a monster.

There are also some disturbing artefacts (on screen and in the headphone).

 

The game is best played with an headphone, and on a Lynx 2 as if if a monster see you from profile, it will shout (so you will hear it on your right or on your left).

 

16 levels from very very easy to challenging, in a limited time.

 

Will you enter the Black Pit by Fadest (itch.io) ?

 

Sorry, no screenshots as they are kinf of useless, but there are some on the itch.io page.

One of my favorite games ever was Soundvoyager for the Game Boy, one of the bitGenerations games. It was played entirely by sound. I'm really looking forward to this even if horror games aren't really my thing...

Me too. 

Enemy Zero that was the Saturn game I couldnt remember the name of. Enemies were invisible in it and you used sound. Black Pit is really different as a Lynx title. I like it.
