sad boy and the quest for help
I have never tried to make a game before, but panic's "pulp" browser thing was just so simple and beginner friendly I just had to give it a try.
This game is all about interacting with your environment! its like a point and click that you walk around in. There are a lot of memorable characters that you might be able to befriend. As well as some villains, probably, i mean i think i would count the snake as a villain. Dont you want to know who the snake is? and what deep lore implications they hold???? ooooh well then you are just gonna have to download and play then!
There are like 4 areas-ish. 2 in the base game, and 2 in the dlc. Experience the wonderful world of... oh shit i never named it. okay well its a cool world and its got a desert, a big house, uhhh its got DEATH ROAD. all the gaming classics.
Hold on im going to go count all the characters so i can put a big number here: okay so i stopped counting after 5 cause it got kinda confusing, like is a tree a person? im not sure, we will count it as 'adjacent'.
this is the moment in the game where you interact with a dead wormThis is the area that you start in. sort of the tutorial i guessThis game has many branches choices, this is just a taste of the choices you can make in "sad boy and the quest for help"its kind of like no mans sky.Durning the time I was working on the game, I was dealing with some pretty big mental health challenges, and I used the game to put out a lot of those thoughts. This project needs a pretty big trigger warning to anyone who does not want to hear some jokes about killing yourself.
Recently I quit my job, and along with some other life changes, my mental health went back down, which can only mean one thing: its time to make some dlc for the game i never released!!! so yeah the base game already comes with the dlc, your welcome.
This game is not really meant to be played, and I would never charge anyone money for it. This is just pure self-expression i guess, because it was never meant to be played, but I asked some friends and I was told to put it on itch.io! so here we are!
you dont really need a playdate to play the game, you can just play it in the browser i think??? also im not sure how well it even runs on the playdate, it crashed for me the first time i tried it, so good luck.
