BÅÅBÖSÅÅNGJÅÅR (MADVENT BUILD!)
A downloadable prototype for Windows
This is the "original/old" standalone version of the WORK-IN-PROGRESS game "BÅÅBÖSÅÅNGJÅÅR", a surreal interactible diorama featuring absurd narrative and humour; Originally created as '8th day' entry of Haunted PS1's 'Madvent Calendar 2021' game bundle, made in 2 months back in 2021, presentated as-is from the bundle version.
!!This version however, is not representative of the final product that I am currently working now. Instead, you may think this as a fairly old, early demonstration version for showing the general idea and vibes of interactive diorama type of game I am aiming to achieve...!!
Things worth noting:
- This original version was meant to be a tiny micro-diorama that would be entered and exited at any time with the main point of the game being walking around and interacting given the advent calendar-esque nature of the bundle -- So there is no set ending or objectives in this version.
- This version of game features only one small "area" for user to explore and one hub area. In comparison, the current yet-to-be released build has 2 main areas, 2 misc. areas, prologue and 2 endings. (with some changes to the main 'mall' area as well!)
- This version does not have any fancy details, nor many other interactible elements that current build offers. Namely, this version lacks the 'portrait graphics' and gibberish sound effects that was later implemented in the current build.
Before I go about doing my own business -- Have some sneak-peek image(s) for the current build. (They're not in this version, but it's yet to come..!)
Have fun and take care,
ZIK.

COOL RETRO
Wack-E little game. Most surely produced by the great and interesting Zik, or someone like them. It reeks of their signature style.
I only played for a little bit, but I had a couple of questions. The first is that I noticed in the mall that when I spoke to the NPCs the portraits weren't coming up, even though in the screenshots above the portraits exist. Additionally, I could only seem to access the mall? perhaps I did something wrong but I couldn't find any way to get to the other places shown in the above screenshots. (Edit: lol just noticed that this question is answered in the description. Silly me!)
Is this because this is a prototype of a finished project and the finished project is what has the newest features? Or is it some other reason entirely?
Anyway, thanks for the experience, as usual, old sport. Keep up the work(s).
Aye, glad that you enjoyed! And of course, this particular version is the one that has been submitted back in 2021 November -- So it was made way back in time and lacks many features like portraits that's present in the newest version (that I didn't release yet!)
