Born Under the Rain
A downloadable game
Masud did a terrible thing.
Now he wears the Mask of Odion, a cursed relic that's forced his soul into the body of a mummy. Worse is Odion himself, the former owner of Masud's new body.
"Keep walking, sweetheart," Odion says, his phantasmal jawbone clacking and clattering. "Every minute we spend in this God-forsaken desert is another minute your body rots in my tomb."
An ocean of sand stretches in front of them. How many more miles till they reach the tomb? How many more days till they break Anuket's Tear and lift the curse?
Born Under the Rain was a game jam entry for the first McBacon Jam on rpgmaker.net back in 2015. It's a collaborative effort mostly between me, LockeZ, and Indrah, as well as some original pixel art here and there by Crazy_Leen. We worked on this for about a month; at the time, I was working on Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass and needed a break, plus I just wanted to work with Indrah and LockeZ, and the end result was this short, charming fantasy ancient Egyptian-themed RPG.
Features:
-Battles by LockeZ add a layer of depth to combat.
-Lots of gorgeous maps by Indrah provide a solid backbone to the exploration-focused gameplay.
-33 relics to collect that boost stats and grant powerful new skills.
-A story featuring four well-developed characters with a focus on mystery, duty, and living in an unconventional family.
-Original soundtrack.
-Puzzles, riddles, and some Metroidvania components add to the fun of exploration.
-Colorful supporting cast.

Really cool to see you posting the stuff you've made / collabed on. I've largely only been aware of your higher-profile things and it's been amazing to see the rest of the err, oeuvre, if you don't mind a five dollar word :V
I hope to have a portfolio like this someday, though I've been really slow to actual start finishing things. That's neither here nor there though, thanks for putting your projects out here! ^^
Hey, you've got to get started somewhere! There are a lot of rough aspects to my earlier games, but I wouldn't have been able to add polish to the later ones if I hadn't learned a lot of lessons through developing the early ones. Best of luck on your own work!
