My Entry for the Dungeon Crawler Jam 2026

Controls:

WASD+QE to move.

Space to interact.

Esc to cancel out of consoles.

In combat, click the weapon buttons 

... Yeah sorry it's a bit of a mess 

About

You're an agent  sent into a lunar facility experiencing a virus. The robots are hostile, the reactor is threatening to blow, and you're all that stands between the company and a significant financial loss.

As always, the original idea was way over-scoped and got progressively smaller as life and time did their thing. I wanted to  do a whole time loop, knowledge gated thing where you only have a couple of minutes to stop the reactor, the explosion of which causes the loop.... Then my housemate told me I was describing outer wilds... So I cut most of that, but stuck a Banjo in instead.

Self Critique:

- The combat is very flat, it was added late and not really thought out beyond ticking a box.

- Didn't have enough time for audio, so besides the hum of the lights there's no real background sounds.

- The computer interaction I liked, but would be nice to vary it up a bit more.

- Really happy with some of the art, I'm no artist and it's my first time trying out gradient mapping instead of normal textures and it was really fun, made UV unwrapping a god damned breeze :D 

Overall, nothing ground-breaking, but as with all Jams I tried some new stuff, had some fun, and really that's all it's about. One day I'll not Jam solo and maybe get a bit more done as a result, but today is not that day :D
