Paracosm

Your estranged uncle didn't have any other descendants by the time he passed, so you were left to be the sole owner of his ominous mansion. You have finally decided to sell that place of nightmares, after one last visit. Hopefully you'll make a pretty penny and get rid of the unhappy memories that reside there. But after all these years... could it truly be as horrifying and twisted as you remember? Or was it all in your head?

Paracosm is a 2D sidescrolling, pixel horror game for teens and adults. The player, an average human in their 20s, must face a shapeshifting blob of inky darkness after becoming locked in a gnarled manor. The player must face puzzles constructed by the evils lurking in the halls and escape to discover the true form of the dim world within.

This is a DEMO/prototype for the proposed game above. A full game with complete story and multiple levels has been conceptualized, but for the purpose of our GDIM 61 Game Design class, we created this short prototype featuring the introduction, first level, and some main mechanics of our game.

If you are finding low framerates while playing in a browser, please download the game for a better experience. Thank you!
