Escape the Desert
A downloadable game for Windows
So you're stuck in a middle of a desert with only one flask of water. Can you figure out a way to escape?
HOW TO PLAY:
You need to find an exit to the desert while watching out for your hydration meter. You can drink your flask to replenish some hydration.
There was originally going to be an in-game tutorial about some more advanced gameplay elements, but I didn't make it in time, so i'll put some basic info here (don't read if you want to avoid spoilers):
- once you press X (which makes you stare directly at the sun) you can create living droplets of water from your flask by pressing C
- you can give those droplets commands by pressing X
- each area has a structure that your droplets can interact with - but they first have to moisturize it (for example - you can use the dripstones to exchange one pure droplet for 4 bootleg ones)
- every time you move to another area, a turn passes. It takes 2 turns to moisturize a structure.
- there is a structure that directly helps you find a way to escape
CONTROLS:
Arrows/Dpad/Analog - move
Z/Xbox A - drink water
X/Xbox X - look up/control menu
C/Xbox Y - pour water from your flask on sand
Tab/Select - make dialogue go faster
F - toggle fullscreen
G - toggle widescreen (basically adds borders)
H - switch between different windowed resolutions
Esc/Start - escape the desert (in a shallow sense)
