A downloadable Story for Windows

A short STORY-FOCUSED adventure with a  DYNAMIC 8 SONG SOUNDTRACK that takes place in a unique take on the world of an ACTION RPG.

(Made completely from scratch in Eclipse. No engine used)

A moonshot is an extremely ambitious and innovative endeavor. The Glass Dungeon is a dungeon that no adventurer has ever completed. Our player, who has never walked the dark halls of a dungeon, decides to take on the challenge of the impossible Glass Dungeon.

"A elegant building made of pristine glass... where countless adventurer's lives were ended.

To accomplish this, the player will travel to 3 of the surrounding crypts and talk to the ghosts of heroes who have died attempting the Glass Dungeon. 

The Crypts

"Townspeople build crypts to honor fallen heroes."

Every area in the world has been randomly generated. Before setting foot in the glass dungeon, the player can talk to people in town, might have to fight some enemies along the way in the forest, use their map to help them navigate the unique world.

  • OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK
  • https://soundcloud.com/thisisyzzy/sets/glass-tombs-official-soundtrack
    • We collaborated and made the soundtrack complete with 8 tracks.
    • The soundtrack is dynamic and changes while you play the game:
      • All the instruments in 'Overworld' go silent except for the drums when you are outside of  a crypt.
      • The 'Town' and  'House' themes switch seamlessly into each other.

  • NOTE FROM THE DEVELOPER:
    • This month contained my roommate testing positive, me moving back home from campus to quarantine, and my girlfriend moving back home states away.
    • As how hectic this month was, I loved being in the grind. This whole month I was doing what I love with the people I love.
    • My girlfriend made all the music and my dad helped me revise the story.
    • I would greatly appreciate a play and a rating but even a comment would be amazing. Thank you all so so so very much.

Cool game! Really well done, and it can be improved to become even better! Gameplay video below:

This game is the mere image of hardwork. The fact that this was made primarily with the use of eclipse, and no game engines is absolutely staggering. The actual gameplay is nothing short of perfect. The storyline, the characters, the music all fits together and makes this a piece of art. While I expected this game to be good, I was blown away when I actually played it considering this was made in 1 month. 10/10

Solid game with an even better storyline and soundtrack. unfortunately the creator likes minions so I will simply have to rate it a 0/10

DEVELOPER:

I do not like minions! Everybody please block this lady. She probably doesnt even like Boss Baby

Amazing game. The time put into the story, art, and soundtrack all come together to make a wonderful experience. I laughed, bellowed at the heavens for the lack of meaning in life, and felt supreme joy throughout the duration of my playthroughs. Such an excellent job!

DEVELOPER:

Thank you Harry Styles, your music is pretty okay too! Sorry for not responding to your countless instagram dm's by the way!

All of your hard work payed off Big Time Rush (Ie: "♫ Oh, Oh, Oh-oo-oh... ♫"). The visuals are primo and the music freaking bops. I am liking all the sneaky lore and reference stuff too.

After playing the game and reading text, slightly unsettled by the overworld flowers!      !

10/10 stuff doe! Except I'm sorry where do I spend my in-game currency!? 0/10

Thanks for your comment and  feedback!

DW the money being useless is part of the design of the story! Not  because time constraints!

DEVELOPER:

I want everyone to be able to experience the game so here is a spoiler free walkthrough in case you get stuck:

  1. Stop by the Glass Dungeon. It's marked by the blue square on your map. You will have to navigate around the forest to find it. It is a white building.
  2. Enter your first crypt. They are the blue buildings.
  3. Not too bad right? Enter 2 more crypts as you follow the story.
  4. Four crypts are generated but you only go to three. Options.
  5. Once you have gone to three crypts, go to the Glass Dungeon.
