Midnight Manor
released on Feb 28, 2020
Midnight Manor is a short narrative-driven "pick-em-up" platformer inspired by games like Bible Adventures, Super Mario Bros 2, and Lakeview Cabin Collection. It follows the story of a man down on his luck, who happens to find himself at the doorstep of a luxurious manor as a terrible storm surges outside. Greeted by a generous, but lonely, old man - he's offered shelter in exchange for completing some simple tasks during his stay. So... enter the Midnight Manor. Explore its winding hallways. Fulfill your piece of the bargain, and enjoy a night of luxury sheltered from the churning storm outside.

I really liked this. The gameplay, the sound mixing, the vibes, it was great. It really treaded the line of scary and silly, never being goofy to the point where you felt like it was making fun of itself, but never scary to the point where I wanted to stop playing. I really wish I knew how to get the other endings, because I got the sacrifice ending and I wanna know how the other ones are achieved.
My one issue is that I feel like 'Up' shouldn't've been the 'drop item' input. I played with a controller, and the second my joystick got marginally too close to 'up', my item would be dropped. It took me a while to figure this out, and it was really pissing me off because it would happen at the worst times.
But otherwise, very fun. I might try for the other endings someday.
