ABOUT THE GAME:

ATROPOS is a survival horror sandbox game where the goal is to retrieve all three artifacts, while avoiding whatever lurks in the forest, and enact an occult ritual, before the eclipse blots out the sun.

LIMITATIONS:

Unfortunately, the game does not explain the controls. Hopefully the above descriptions and accompanying visual aid are enough.

FUTURE PLANS:

This game was made in two weeks primarily for Cosmic Horrors Jam 2022, and as such, it is a bug-filled mess. Expect issues and awkwardness.

Currently, the game is not being developed further. However, content updates and bug fixes may come in the future, as there was much I wanted to do with this game that I didn't have time for.

Thanks for taking a look at my game, I really appreciate it. I hope you have fun.
