Park Stranger
Park Stranger is a short, slasher inspired Game Boy, made using GB Studio... This is also my first Game Dev project. So I hope you enjoy.
After a weary camper arrives at Burrow Hill National Park, they successfully set up camp. It isn't too long, however, before things take an unfortunate turn. After getting to briefly know the other campers in the area, someone wearing the camp's owl mascot costume begins taking them out, one-by-one. A small cairn is placed at the site of each body, adding to the mystery. With no other option, the camper must venture into the woods and do their best to survive the night. Good luck...

I will say, this game has a lot of potential, the concept is on point for an 80's inspired slasher, the different characters are portraited pretty well, and the environment is pretty well put together for the most part. But there are some problems and those problems are noticeable. Firstly, for how many random objects there are in this park, you can barely interact with any of them, and the dialogue for the objects you can interact with just feels stiff. Secondly (and to fire off a bunch of small issues I had), The owl is a little to forgiving, some of the assets look a little strange, some parts of the forest don't really make sense from an orientational perspective, and to put it lightly, the music could use a lot of work. Also there being no save system, not even an auto-save system, is a pain in the ass if you actually do get caught which isn't fun and turned me away from actually beating the game since I couldn't find the 3rd page and died in the forest. However, you do have a great concept for a good game here and I hope you do keep making retro games or just games in general because this is a great stepping stone for the future! Good work!
Fun and campy! Short and sweet, really got the vibe of the old slasher movies with people in the camp slowly getting picked off by the killer, perfect retro game for the spooky season and I very much enjoyed it!
First game played in the video!
No saving system…
