Scriptum Maledictum - GWJ #54

Made for Godot Wild Jam #54, a challenge to make a game in 9 days following a theme and 3 optional extra challenges ("wildcards").

For my this was a 3-day jam, as I only worked two Saturdays and one Sunday on it.

Theme: Curses
Wildcards:
  - Crumbling Location - This place is falling apart, too bad you're in it
  - Faustian Bargain - Make a deal with the devil
  - Do It For Me - Use procedural Generation

You have made a pact with the powerful Lorgoth, so you can use his powers. But the place is now falling apart, and you have to run.

A curious mix of action third person while typing curses to activate magic. 

The game has a grammar parser and understand adjectives, verbs and nouns - the spells you type are not  predefined, they are actually interpreted!

The scenario is procedurally generated in endless runner mode, and never loops. Enemy spirits are also procedurally placed.

 

There are 3 difficulty levels (Easy, Normal and Hard) which change the speed in which the scenario falls.

How far can you go?
