The Robbing of Rem Rasul - a love letter to Game Maker games from the early 2000s Thread

NOTE: This is actually a game that I published right before COVID hit, but which didn't end up taking off all that much due to the pandemic. I'm hoping to show it some love by posting it here on the forums, since I think it has a lot of charm and niche appeal which deserves the chance for another look!

In the middle of the night, a burglar breaks into your apartment and steals your most treasured possession: a copy of Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School on VHS tape. As hard-boiled detective Rem Rasul, you'll have to rely on your uncanny powers of deduction, your trusty revolver, and your crippling addiction to nicotine in order to track down the culprit and solve this mystery. However, you soon discover that there's more to this case than meets the eye...

A homage to B-games from the early 2000s such as Revenge of the Sunfish and Sexy Hiking, The Robbing of Rem Rasul features 24 poorly-drawn levels spanning a variety of game genres - action, adventure, platforming, puzzle-solving, and even turn-based role-playing. This diverse collection of play styles, combined with a hodge-podge of bizarre graphics and blatantly stolen audio effects, ultimately makes for a surreal yet satisfying gaming experience.

You can download the game from my itch.io page at Fyndr.itch.io
