Endless You (MVP)

When you were young, your people lived peacefully with a community of large lizard-like aliens. They’ve since vanished from your planet without a word, leaving behind their factories and so many questions. You must brave their abandoned factories, and find a way to call them back home. Only then will the questions finally be answered for you.

Endless You is a 2D Puzzle Platformer where you have to die to solve the puzzle. When you die, you’re brought back to life by the machinery in the factories, but your old body remains. Lift, drop and jump off your old bodies to reach the top of each factory.

Endless You has a unique take on a lore system. Collect pages in the factories to unlock journal entries written in the aliens’ language. You can translate them using context clues and intuition, to unlock their secrets.

Notes when starting: On some web browsers, you will need to click on the game after loading to have sound, even if you’re using a controller. Firefox also pops out in a new window. To avoid these issues, using Google Chrome is recommended.

Notes on the lore section: Currently, using a controller for the lore section is not supported. Make sure to complete the “tutorial” section before moving on to the “file sets” section. The full alien text in the “file sets” section is displayed for context. You are not expected to read or understand the full alien text (though you can click the button to the right of each sentence for a literal translation of it). Read through the character’s comments on the text and answer the questions asked of you to progress.

This build is an Minimum Viable Prototype (MVP). Its visuals use stand-in art and the gameplay is not final. The prototype contains only one set of levels, and the lore section has only one set of entries after the lore tutorial. The purpose of the prototype is to gauge interest in a full release. 

The prototype was created in Godot 4.1.1. Some sprites are from a HeartBeast tutorial, Banner and Thumbnail made by: BilbusThiq . Join our discord!
