Submission to HEJ 2024 Március. Theme: "Szabadság" Ext.: "Split screen"

A heart-pounding dungeon crawler set in an ancient ruin steeped in the eerie atmosphere of the Cthulhu mythos. You find yourself awakening in a decrepit cell within the ominous Bastion of Entropy, a sprawling labyrinthine structure filled with unspeakable dangers, armed only with your wits and the ability to manipulate time.

The countdown to your demise begins immediately: a mere seven seconds stand between you and the collapse of the entire structure. Yet, here's the cruel twist – time slithers forward only when you dare to move. With each cautious step you take, the world around you awakens, unveiling the treacherous decay and imminent danger lurking in the ruins. Each step increases the risk of impending doom, with the looming threat that the ceiling could collapse upon your head or the floor crumble beneath your feet, plunging you into the abyss below. 

To survive, you must race against time, collecting mysterious time orbs scattered throughout the ruin. These orbs grant the power to reverse the flow of time, allowing you to uncover hidden paths. Your ultimate goal lies atop the crumbling spires of the Bastion: a swirling portal, the only potential exit from this nightmarish realm.
