ATROPOS (Shrine Dynamics)

About

The elders of your coven have tasked you, a lowly atropos, to complete the ritual of ascendance on your own - before the eclipse above you blackens the sky entirely. You have 20 minutes to find all three ancient artifacts the elders desire, but they warn you of a lurking threat deep in the forest...

ABOUT THE GAME: ATROPOS is a survival horror sandbox game where the goal is to retrieve all three artifacts, while avoiding whatever lurks in the forest, and enact an occult ritual, before the eclipse blots out the sun. LIMITATIONS: As of this moment, the game does not have a pause menu of any kind. You must exit the game by pressing alt-f4. Unfortunately, the game does not explain the controls. Hopefully the above descriptions and accompanying visual aid are enough. FUTURE PLANS: This game was made primarily for Cosmic Horrors Jam 2022, and as such, it is a bug-filled mess. I will be providing bug-fixes for the duration of the jam's voting period, and leaving the original version (1.0.0) up for transparency's sake. If you're not rating this game in cosmic horrors jam, I would encourage you to download the most recent build available. Content updates may come in the future, as there was much I wanted to do with this game that I didn't have time for, as well as generally filling out the sound effects and visual effects to make the game more immersive. Thanks for taking a look at my game, I really appreciate it. I hope you have fun.
