I had a dream the other night, it was disgusting and I hated it. So I made a game out of it.



Download it here: http://willhostforfood.com/?Action=download&fileid=29152

There are a few bugs, but I didn't get them until I uploaded them. They're masking bugs, and I'll reupload tomorrow. If you get it, just jump, that always seems to solve it.

Ok, bye.

As I said, yes. I had it a few nights ago, it was really disgusting. Though, the only parts I remember are opening up a crate with someone I know (I may just want to disclose who, just in case), and hiding the skin under my bed. After his happened, I looked out the window and saw the police, and remember that I tried to eat the skin. I think this means I'm perfectly sane.

I enjoy modeling most of my games after dreams I have, as it usually makes the game more unpredictable, and makes it flow more choppily.

i could have sworn this was gonna be a screamer

I had a really sick and disgusting dream a few nights ago. It was like the epitome of death and decay. There were thousands of people struggling to climb up these walls covered in traps, spikes, etc. and swarms of poisonous insects. If you fell, you were sent to a fiery Gehenna. This game reminded me of that dreadful experience and inspired me to make a game out of that.
PurpleFuzzy
I actually really enjoy the atmosphere of this game... But, like your last game that I played, the gameplay isn't really anything special. But still, the compelling-ness of the game's mood made me play until the end. Good work.

I didn't quite understand what happened in the ending where I talked to the police, though.

What happend to the policeman when you try to eat the skin?

I liked the game although the gameplay was a bit boring the story was quite fun and the fact that it is based on your dreams made me laugh!

Yes, that end was very appealing. I loved every moment of it.

I think his reason is good...even if the player didnt kill His friends, someone eating the skins deserves it
Twitchgames
I agree!
cambesa
lol, i was waiting for this:

there is a knock at the door.

in the crate you found your own skin.


should be creepy.

i didn't eat the skin the first time, sounds discusting to me, so i tried teling the police what happened but that was no option:P
nice

Yes, this was considered. However, I ruled against it because my friend told me it was too predictable.

The movement got quite bad sometimes when carrying the skin. I had to keep jumping to go anywhere. Weird. blink.gif
Anyway good game - the game set a great atmosphere/story.
Well done, but it was creepy. unsure.gif

I played again with both endings. What happens when you go to the police?
orange08
This is a... unsure.gif ... Strange game..

It must really suck to have dreams like this tongue.gif

...but wait! Aren't dreams supposed to be (subconciously) based on things that happened in real life? What have you been up to lately...?


Anywho, nice little minigame. Kinda predictable, since I read the whole topic before downloading though... remind me not to do that.
feeblethemighty
Now there's a memorable game.

Man, for all the hours i've put it making my dead-in-the-water projects and getting nothing out of it, it's good to see a nice simple game like this can still be enjoyable and memorable even if there is no crazy new game mechanics.
JanDeis
Not even five minutes of my time and this has to be one of the most memorable games I have ever played. Looked like crap, played like crap, but it was so...interesting...that I had to keep going. How do you even end up having a dream like this anyway?
Evix
Wow... Creeeeepy...

But compelling laugh.gif

Good game biggrin.gif
Explicit
....crazzyyyy

like the format, simple, sweet

how bout we all start a new game trend?

crazy dream games anyone?
Jaret
Hmm... I get glitches like music failed to initialize and then an mcp glitch thing after the best friend's body is put under the bed and then i can do no more...Oh and post above, I was thinking the same thing! We could call them all part of the Dream Saga!!!!
3D Programmer
I guess I'm the only one who does not like this game. Having a dream like this would be crap but still. This game isn't that good. Sorry but Its simple and is not really a game. More of a interactive movie.

Beautifully avant-garde.
Could make a very freaky psychedelic game.
Roxas3143
Ok here we go.

Firstly the things I like:
-The little character - you I suppose - was amusing.
-The short but sweet story. dream. whatever.
-The way that carrying skin was heavy and you couldn't jump high.
-The gunshot!

Things that bugged me:
-Got jammed loads of times, like walking outside and jumping.
-The dodgy sound that follows after 'the end'

But thanks for doing this, it was fun!

7/10

Actually, I just started listening to The Residents while I made this game.

Most likely meant something, some pretty awful things happened that week, but I'm not one to get dragged down by that kind of thing, so I assume the dream was just my brain letting it out for me.

Doing this would ruin the charm of it.

consider yourself lucky... your dreams atleast make sence... mine dont... making a game out of my dreams would be like popping random things on the screen why you are falling down the empire state and eating peanutbutter jelly sandwhich upside down(this excact example has never been in my dreams but you get the point)

the thing about trying to eat the skin wasnt perfectly sane... but hey sanity is overestimated, look at me im not sane but im... im you know... i like cookies, lets leave it at that: i like cookies but im not sane

Shut up nerd. You're not insane you're just clueless. No one cares about your dreams that you make up. At least spell "sense" right.

Sigh......

Uh, well, dreams are more of something that cannot really be controlled for me, and that's really how I like it. I guess my games are an attempt to make my dreams more lucid. Well, I mean, it isn't sane or insane, because obviously I'm not at full thinking capacity while I'm asleep.

I had a dream inspired by this game. Sorta.

It was more like a dream where I was in a situation where I had to kill a loved one and then when they were dead, I thought of this game.

It was disturbing, and I hated it. Like you to your dream.

Then I played this game again and I loved it even more. Now I understand.

Beautiful.

That's not true. I hated it because the movement was glitchy and when you grabbed the thing out of the box you could no longer walk, only jump. I also got stuck inside the bed so I had to exit out. Perhaps you didn't notice that little glitch.

The Ghost Of Chirstmas just hates me because I do infact hate most 23/hecsagon games. However, this one was hated for an understandable reason.
TGOC
No I just hate you because you can't spell my name correctly. Haven't you ever celebrated the joy of Christmas? Or are you Jewish?

But really stop being biased. Make up your mind and stop being two-sided.
TRCOOLGUY
This topic is about my game, not people who dislike me because I post on Hecsagon. Please, keep the hate for stupid reasons to a minimum, on both sides.

Awesome game, definitely made me want to play till the end.
Dexgamez
lol I was like dont eat the skin but then I remembered hey thats not me
chainsawkitten
Very inspirational.

this is weird the game play is terrible but I feel like I need to play this game
hero twin
you've got something good going here, don't take anyone's advice
SilentxxBunny
I loved this. The coding and graphics weren't that spectacular. But the game was very inspirational and well presented. Not only that but you have a unique style that works for you. Also. I do NOT see fit to give this game a proper rating because it is so open to interpretation quite like most art forms. Just let me say that in my honest to god opinion the game was spectacular.

I remember playing this quite a while ago... very surreal and enjoyable tongue.gif
I should make some games like this based off my own dreams.
LimmingKenny
Such a classic.

Ok then...
That was...
Uh...
I'm not even sure really. Whatever it was,

Why do all your games have such small viewing screens? Some people value their eyesight, you know.

It was weird, alright. Not really much to say.
