PolterJam

This is PolterJam - my entry for the GameDev.tv Halloween Jam 2025!

Story:

Instead of enjoying a nice Halloween at home with your partner you're forced to take care of a haunted mansion. Unfortunately, the poltergeist caused the floors themselves to become traps - so jump your way through the rooms, avoiding unstable tiles, so you can finally get back to dinner!

Controls:

• W/A/S/D - Movement
• F - Interact
• Space - Jump
• Escape - Menu
• C - Set Anchor (when standing still)
• R - Return to Anchor

 

Note:

• The game relies on colors. In case you have impaired color vision you might run into some problems. Unfortunately, I don't have the experience yet to handle this - sorry!
• The Web Build has some visual problems (main menu, light colors, volumetric fog) - while it's technically completely playable in the embedded player, I strongly recommend the downloadable version!
