Aberrant Escape

Hello there, I am MaskeDev.

I have created my first finished game which I entered into Acerola's game jam. It is a 2D platformer in a pixel-art style where you play as a knight who needs to escape an aberrant world. Instead of finding keys, you need to find locks to open your way to freedom. The game has four types of enemies, each with their own logic that obstructs your path. However, in this world, you feel immortal because the enemies cannot physically harm you. Instead, every time you get hit, a chunk of your mental sanity depletes (which depletes automatically as time passes by). You need to finish each level quickly without getting hurt too much or letting the insanity kill you.

From a technical perspective, I made this 2D project using Unreal Engine 5.3, and I only used Blueprints. I am still a beginner, so I don't know what a source code is or how to upload it.

I will post a link to my first YouTube video soon, where I will share my experience of creating this game. Thank you for playing the game, and I hope you enjoy it! :)
