south of real: rough beast
A downloadable game
The stars have come to reap, and you are out of time.
You--Alex--left home two years ago. The air reeks of dust, chemicals, and blood. Memories crawl wormlike under every surface. This was a mistake, perhaps, but you've come back. If you do not find something--anything at all--to stop the reaping, this is where you'll die.
No place like home.
South of Real: Rough Beast is a short psychological horror game about memory, trauma, and the excuses we make for our actions.

What an odd question! Are you--the person who's talking right now--asking me if I've made more stuff? Or to see more stuff? You should be less ambiguous with your writing, person who wrote that odd header.
Bye!

Nice little experience! My only complaint is that chase sections were significantly louder than the rest of the game. Had a good time :)
thank you so much! I think I did that amateur game dev thing where I adjusted the difficulty for the nerd who was replaying them all the time (me) instead of remembering that most people should ideally see this scene once or twice at most, heh.
I loved your game, really unique and with a great atmosphere and an interesting story. The chase moments put me on the edge of my seat.
I liked it! The story was really creative, and the chase scenes were intense!
Pretty neat stuff!
