CORRUPTED ARCADE


Sole Developer for the entire game: Super Awesome H (me)


You are trapped in an arcade. Read the manual. Make sure you insert a token on  arcade cabinets that follow the manual. If they don't, THEY'RE CORRUPTED! Insert a token on all safe arcade cabinets to escape.


Controls:

WASD or Arrow Keys - Movement for player and between pages in manual

Shift - Sprint (only while on arcade room)

ESC - Pause Game

E - Interact/Leave Arcade Cabinet

F - Open/Close Manual

Q - Go to Index Page/Previous Page (only while in Manual)

T - Insert Token (only while in arcade cabinet)

SPACE - Skip Intro, Flap (Only on Flapping Chick game), Shoot (Only on Shoot The Aliens game)


How to Play:

1.) Find arcade cabinets that are interactable then interact with one by pressing 'E'

2.) Read the manual by pressing 'F'. If the Title screen and Attract mode (Demo video) doesn't follow the manual, step away from the cabinet by pressing 'E' again

3.) Go to another cabinet and read the manual again. If the arcade cabinet follows the manual, you are safe. Simply insert a token then leave the cabinet.

4.) Inserting a token on all safe cabinets in the room opens the door. Go through the door to get to the next room

5.) Repeat until you escape the arcade.

Note: After inserting a token, you do NOT need to play the arcade cabinet to progress in opening the door. But you are free to play it if you want.


Yes! This is game is replayable and speedrunnable.

Theme: Corrupted

How the theme was used: You have to avoid inserting a token on corrupted cabinets and only insert a token on non-corrupted arcade cabinets to open the door to your escape

(This is my first ever developed digital game. I did my best.)

Side Notes: 

1.) I didn't have time to add more horror elements cause lack of time

2.) I am yet to learn how to design an Itch.io game page.

But do expect an update in the future!
