After reading Game Rules and Controls, keep in mind that in the notes' section there is advice, credits, an update log, bug fixes' log, and update priorities. --CONTROLS-- WASD or ARROW KEYS to move. v = look behind you t = show/hide timer. v = reset Record Time. space bar = run --GAME RULES-- - Reach the red gate (not the button) to escape!...kinda - You will die if the hunting ghost catches you. - It starts doing so once you leave the green square. - Your light will flicker and some noise will emanate from the ghost's position when it is nearby. It always knows where you are.
An incredible thank you to @The_Iron_Crafter for most of the music used in this game. More information in the Credits section. ======================================== I recommend wearing a headset (or earphones) and playing in full screen for a better experience. ======================================== I have completed the creation of this game but I'm still going to be adding things every now and again. To (maybe? Hopefully?) be added: - Some sort of phases to the ghost (Roaming, Hunting and Searching Last Known Location) so that it doesnt always know where to look. ======================================== --CREDITS-- Music: Pre-game: Battle Baron, by @The_Iron_Crafter: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/423181970 Death music is a slowed down & shortened version of Dying Hearts, and background music is an extremely slowed down version of Battle Rain, both from @The_Iron_Crafter 's series called "Lost Cries": https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/398183774/ Death animation inspired by UNDERTALE (game by Toby Fox). Flickering light idea inspired by Phasmophobia (game by Dknighter). All the scripting, imagining and creating by me. ======================================== --UPDATE LOG-- - 02/02/22: Turned the flashlight into a rotatable beam. - 06/02/22: Created a thumbnail, adjusted death cutscene, the barrier no longer kills you! - 08/02/22: Transformed the exit pad into a gate and made an "Escaped" cutscene/ending when touching it. - 13/02/22: Added Shake Effect and SFX to button. - 14/02/22: Added HUI and difficulty selection: difficulty changes the speed of the ghost and size of the beam. - 15/02/22: Added secret ending, pressing "b" now allows you to look behind yourself and I have balanced the differences in between difficulties. - 23/02/22: Added GPD (has been removed by now). - 04/03/22: Added music to the pre-game HUI, death cutscene, and background music! - 05/03/22: Made a swinging effect for the HUI. Unfortunately, I have come to realize that the GPD is litterally impossible to make, as the limited workarounds for making a continuous noise on Scratch creates unsolvable problems causing massive lag and stops other mechanics from functioning. I'm terribly sorry for having to do this, but I permanently removed the Ghost Presence Detector. - 28/04/22: Added rain, thunder & lightning, and a Low Detail Mode button! LDM removes the new elements listed above, and certain text effects. - 30/04/22: Running: press "e" for a temporary speed boost! This comes with a "stamina" bar, visible at the top of the screen. - 01/05/22: Made the "GAME OVER" and "YOU HAVE ESCAPED" fade out effect. - 05/05/22: Made the everything fade in when [Green flag] clicked - 06/05/22: changed certain CONTROL keys for script convenience - 08/05/22: MAJOR graphic update, the light beam is now so much more realistic-looking, and I added a little zone to see your surroundings. To swap back to the OG costume, follow these instructions: "See inside", "Light Beam" sprite, "Costumes", "Original". - 04/11/22: Graphics' update! Ghostie gets a special treat. - 19/01/26: Wowie, has it been three and a half years?? Well here comes a few changes: The flash light now follows the mouse pointer, the red vignette is less potent (could excessively obstruct sight) and slightly reduced the volume of the ghost's presence. ======================================== --BUG FIXES-- - 06/02/22: Removed a sprite without altering game to reduce lag, fixed consequential bugs and other minor bugs. - 12/02/22: Fixed the flickering sound effect: its origin is now more noticable. - 15/02/22: Fixed bug where escaping triggered the secret ending and the bug where after reaching the secret ending, the player would get stuck in a wall. - 05/03/22: Fixed the difficulty selection buttons' glitching effect. - 29/04/22: Fixed bug where noise would come from the opposite side of the ghost's location. - 30/04/22: Fixed the buggy mess that resulted from Too Many Blocks In One Sprite. - 01/05/22: A lot of bug fixes. - 05/05/22: Fixed some graphic bugs. - 06/05/22: Simplified movement script.
