You've found yourself in an unfamiliar neighborhood. It seems empty—why don't you walk around and see if there's anyone left?

Move with the arrows, talk with X, Z to open the book.

This is a little game I've been tinkering with for... checks watch almost seven years. It's not a huge game - I only managed to work on it for a few hours each year. It's less a game and more a weird little vehicle for some writing and ideas I've had in my head for a good long time.

I might make some tweaks to it (are the voices annoying? Should I change them? Remove them?), so any feedback is appreciated. :)

I had to minify the code to publish it (using https://github.com/thisismypassport/shrinko8)—turns out all those strings take up a lot of space!

A story thing I am still working on - it's far from done, and may never be a real game~

This is our first PICO-8 project, made in a little game jam with some friends!

Our prompt was generated by the Cowface Games Ludum Dare theme generator: Underworld and Retreat!

The story goes:

You are Jonathan, a meek demon spy sent to collect Heaven's magical relic. When combined with the one in Hell, it will create the ultimate weapon. The game starts after Jonathan has already infiltrated Heaven and stolen the relic - now take a leap and make your way back home!

This is unfinished so far, but collecting the purity from innocent beings (rainbows, butterflies, etc) will add to your strength in the second half of the game (which doesn't exist yet).
