Furthest Terror - ALPHA
I WILL BE DELISTING THIS GAME ON MAY 1ST. PLAY WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------
The era of exploration is over, yet ghosts still linger on the fringes of the globe...
Willis Faulker has been sent on a top secret mission to rendezvous with his missing brother.
Otto Landsknecht is the last surviving member of a famed doomed expedition decades in the past.
And you. Who are you?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Lead a party of seven to the icy Mt. Terror.
Dodge crevasses, endure the arctic nights, eat your dogs, eat each other, and fight to stay alive.
This current game is a SUPER DUPER ALPHA!!!! You'll be able to finish this in like, 30 minutes, lol.
Current features:
- 7 renameable NPCs that each have their own strength, weakness and just 'eh' stat.
- Use your deductive reasoning to figure out who to send on what encounters. If you choose wrong, pain (or even death!) might await.
- Twelve Days to survive through!
Full Game features:
- An actual story! (Wow!) Planned two 'routes' with three main endings and ofc plenty of ways to die.
- A glossary! What parts of this script are inspired by real events and what are fictional? Well this glossary will lay things out for easy understanding (and also allows me to share all the cool stuff I found in my research heehee)
- YOU CAN EAT YOUR DOGS!!! YOU CAN EAT YOUR TEAMMATES!!
- "Woah woah, I don't want to read something so upsetting!!!" How about a "Happily Ever After" mode that swaps out all the horrible events with extremely happy things so you can still enjoy the story while also not being upset when your favorite NPC falls down a crevasse and is never seen again?

Hi there everyone! This year's nano is a bit different. (I think I said that last year too, HAHA) This year I've only got a super barebones project to share with you all. I'm only going to keep it up for a month (because I only like to keep full finished projects on my page) so play while you have a chance!
I do not plan on working on this after this month, I'm going back to Mokemon dev (which I'm actually really excited to work on again!!) and this little arctic game is going back into the 'Heiden vault'. :) You'll probably see it again someday, as this was a game I've been wanting to make since 2016!
The script is currently at 12k length and I've only made it to the end of the common route. I estimate the full game to be around 30k but I also know I want to include a bunch of different random encounters and such, so who knows!
And honestly the absolute best thing about this year's project is that I DIDNT STRESS AT ALL!!!!!!!!! (Big success!!!)
Anyway, I hope you have fun with this little limited edition build! Are you able to get to Mt. Terror? Did you keep all your men alive? :))) Let me know!!
EDIT: There is a strange bug where if you use the SPACE BAR to advance text to the choices, it won't choose which explorer you clicked to send. :/ To avoid this, just use the mouse.

I played the alpha! It was short but quite intense! Truth be told, I think I did quite well, since I only had one death on the last day! So, I really appreciated how the music and the background helped set the vibe, and I think it has a lot of potential! Of course, as a game with an actual storyline, but I think a sort of "infinite" mode including a random set of events might also be a fun play mode, to see how long players can survive with random distributions of stats amongst the party (which I think would be more difficult to do in a story mode if the characters all have set personalities?).
So yes, I've had a lot of fun with it, and I think trying to have everyone survive already feels quite stressful (in a good way), so I can't help but imagine how much more it would be in a fuller game, when it is ready someday!
This is the first time I didn’t get everyone killed in a survival game, omg!!! 😂 I feel like I won at life lolol
The game is absolutely amazing!! I would totally play this for hours! 💖💖
A fun peek into what the gameplay is going to be like :D! Intrigued by the intensity of the story haha
I won both times, once with two deaths and once with one! Going to keep fiddling with it to see if I can get better at putting together the puzzle of what everyone on my team is good at \o/ some of them may die...but it's a sacrifice I am willing to make. :>
i'm really curious to see how this will go! i enjoyed going through finding out who is good at what. (i won! 👀)
EEEEE thank you!!!! Glad to hear you won! I wanted to make sure it wasn't too hard 😆
Congrats on the release!
Thank you!! 😊
