Carnival of Shadows

Created for the MAGS June 2024 Adventure Game Jam, this short but *sweet* game will keep you on the edge of your seat! (Unless you just scoot over of course).

Story Overview

A group of four unlikely companions arrives at an abandoned amusement park, drawn by the promise of a unique experience. They quickly discover that the park is haunted by the restless spirits of those who perished in a tragic accident. To escape, they must solve puzzles, confront supernatural threats, and uncover the park's dark history.

I liked the puzzles, the art is a pretty big step down from midnight madness though... I honestly quit, but the positive reviews  here convinced me to play it through. Also, the character following system - didnt really get the point? Why would you leave them behind? How would you know when you would need them? And it was a little annoying how they would block parts of the environment lol. Idk, I am guessing this was a jam and you had stricter time constraints? But ya, puzzle design was good. And the ideas of the art were cool too, just execution seemed not as refined as MM
