The Halloween Plague

SlothyGames |

The Plague, the 17th century horror game to chill the bones! The action takes place during The Great Plague of London, and death has chosen you to die young. But what happens when the one who is supposed to take care of you is gone absolutely insane? Get out of the church and find the Graveyard's Gate and get out as quick as you can. Collect pumpkins from the graveyard in order to relight your candle. The graveyard is generated randomly on every game, so you will need to follow the signs (pro tip : they appear near the huge trees) in order to find your way to the gate. Crack of dawn comes in 10 minutes, but that only makes matters worse. Don't blink... Don't turn around... You can't run... you can't hide... --- You may record the game without asking for any permission! ---

Hey there!
The Plague, a short Halloween horror game, has been updated to version 1.6 for Windows and Mac!

So here's what's new :

- As the game was firstly intended to be a mobile game, I had to restrict myself when it came to poly-count and texture resolution so it would not run slow or average devices. When the game was switched to PC, I forgot to reset the maximum texture resolution for a few models, like the dead body in the shrine. That has now been fixed (also added more normal maps and specular maps).

- When you get attacked, a vignetting effect kicks in with color aberration. You can turn this off from the new Option called "Effects".

- Also, as you can see from the picture above, the effect now kicks in in the intro along with the mouse sensitivity drop effect.

- On the try again menu, instead of getting a black screen as a background, you now can actually see your open grave with your little swing... swinging. The blur Effect will be switched off by turning Effects off.

- The floating note upon exiting the graveyard has now been fixed

- A few guiding notes will actually now be spawned before reaching the gate. They are very rare though.

- When switching Quality, you now get recommendations whether to turn on or off Ambient Occlusion, Motion Blur or Effects.

- The Pumpkin Counter going off screen on 4:3 aspect should now be fixed

- The bug where it would appear as you are seeing the doctor even tho you aren't has been fixed. I had to change the bounding volume a bit. Also the problem where you were actually looking at him but nothing happened due to the fact that he was behind a cross or a grave has been fixed.

- You now have a folder included with images which you can use for thumbnails or demonstration in case you want to post the game on a forum or make a video of it

- And finally new Music from our Lord and saviour, Kevin MacLeod
