No turning back
Well. This is the first game jam I ever entered, and I decided to make a narrative horror thing which is really hard to do in 3 hours* and probably a really bad idea. The gameplay is both very obtuse and very simple, and I don't know if the hints of story are comprehensible either, but I wanted to stick to the time limit so it is what it is.
SPOILERS/EXPLANATION
The idea is there's some kinda supernatural, zombie-adjacent virus outbreak. The protagonist thinks they're infected and are driving to the closest hospital for a cure. They have to ask for directions, but half the cashiers are being controlled by the virus and intentionally give you the wrong directions, so you kinda have to vibe check them. (There were going to be more hints, differences in sprites based on if they're infected or not, but I didn't have time to make them.) You encounter more weird things the more wrong turns you take, and if you get lost completely you lose.
For some reason the sound loops seamlessly in Godot, but not in the web export. I'm not in the mood for troubleshooting :-(

I love interactive games. Simple but well-crafted plot and the ability to choose your own destiny that fully immerses you in the game. Great job, I'll give you five stars.

Bye friend.
