You're stranded, alone, in a mansion you don't remember entering, with a monster you cannot know after you. All you need to do is find a way to exit, and make sure that you're not another disappeared man.

Grue's Manor is a SRPG Studio made game, for the "Don't Make Fire Emblem" Game Jam, hosted by Markyjoe this 2020 (Which honestly should be cancelled as a year). It's a currently in development game, which is why I have no playable download yet. 

I've been mostly inspired by games such as Ib, Mad Father, and somewhat by Yume Nikki. Those have always been a pretty big part of my gaming experiences, and it's what first came to mind when this game jam was created (Well, second. First was "Fire Emblem but you control the huge army against the small elite group").

There are some warnings I do have to say: While there aren't that many visuals, due to the nature of the engine, and my artistics skills being 0, as this was a one man project, the idea of a Cognitohazard-like monster may be pretty, pretty scary to some. But if you're already reading this you already read this so you're fucked, uh. 

With amazing features such as:

  • Less than 1 hour of gameplay, as specified!
  • One map that in reality is 4 thanks to smart eventing!
  • 3 Exciting endings with some moral choices
  • Also, Random Garbage. 
  • You know precisely what the last one means

The game couldn't have been possible without the help of various people, or inspiration. Amongst those, I have to thank here:

  • Goinza, for the Free Map Movement script
  • SapphireSoft, obviously, for making the tool itself
  • The absolute madlad who made Paint.Net free and allowed me to make shitty edits.
  • Plasterbrain, for the Yume Freebie collection, from which the soundtrack is from
  • Markyjoe, for giving me a push needed to start this project, which is making the game jam
  • KingPrussia, on Discord. You the best, man! Thanks for all of the encouragement!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
 Please install the patch file on the latest version, as otherwise the game's kinda broke. Sowwies
