A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Downwards is a short narrative game where your goal is to reach the end of the level. There is not much gameplay, as I wanted to experiment mostly with movement on uneven terrain and how to best handle that, but gave some context via a story. The story has two endings, though the game will quit as soon as you reach the ending. A more comprehensive ending and audio  may be added but that was not the intention of this project. 

This game was made in the span of about six hours, using Unity. The Smart Lighting 2D asset was used to handle lighting. Beyond that, everything was done by me and will likely continue to be done only by me.

Inspiration for this project was two fold, primarily wanting to experiment with above mentioned movement, and secondly I have trouble sleeping at night often, so figured this was a good representation of the stuff I dream up being out to get me haha. 

Hope you enjoy!

I do not have a mac, and from what I may hear depending on how your mac is set up you may need to allow this to run.
