A downloadable game for Windows

TIMES ARE TOUGH, KID.  IT'S TIME FOR WORK!

With the dead around, an old school opportunity has appeared on your list of ways to make cash fast...It doesn't help that it was the only route that seemed to be able to pay your rent and feed your cat.  What aids your conscience is the lovely fact that the dead aren't going to be using any of this anymore.  You are doing a wonderful thing by not letting these riches go to waste!

 Dig up graves, snatch some treasures, and type fast before the guards catch you...or end up in one of those graves yourself.

                                                                    

How to play:

movement is ARROW KEYS and interaction is ENTER


                                                              

This game was made for the Jamsepticeye Jam 2025 with the collective effort of these lovely people!

This is still a Prototype.

RECOMMENDED TO DOWNLOAD THE 2.0 VERSION

1.5 Was Submitted in JAM deadline. 2.0 fixes a game freeze / crash from getting caught

  • UI is bad im sorry :(
  • The timer doesn't actually do anything just yet.
  • Some UI doesn't go away upon exiting interaction
  • Collision boxes can be tricky on the levels! They are auto-generated, it's possible to get caught on corners and stuck!
  • Chest collisions are on the LEFT side of the chest
  • Game still sometimes crashes if you're in a skillcheck and get caught ☹ get gud

Besides a few issues that could easily be ironed out, the overall gameplay loop is very fun, and the art is great! Having levels be procedurally generated is a great way to prevent repeat players from getting too relaxed with the tense setting. Looking forward to seeing what you do next!

what's next is making it a full & more polished game for sure!

SUBJECT MATTER ASIDE, ADORABLE

thanks dad

The art style is so cute! Can't wait to play it :D
