A Lovecraft Inspired Dungeon Crawler

Paradox Vector

Explore impossible mazes while battling the Ancient Ones and their bio-mechanical servitors in this retro first-person, Lovecraft inspired shooter. Paradox Vector's graphics are inspired by the old-school vector graphics games of the early 1980's.

[h3]Introducing Cyclopean[/h3] If you enjoyed Paradox Vector, you may find this short project I made interesting. It was made in 3 days for the Dungeon Crawler Jam 2024 over on the itch website.

It has a somewhat procedurally generated dungeon, with Lovecraft inspired monsters, and a story that hearkens loosely back to the Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath.

Like traditional roguelikes it will summarize your success or failure at the and. You can view reports of up to 10 of your best playthroughs from the main menu. (not my best score) [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/34804890/5a96be56ce2d25a0739f4eea2010399c4dad28ec.png[/img] [h3]Cats[/h3] It also has cats! You can watch a short clip in which the player rescues a cat here... [previewyoutube=c9U9Z6Y0BNA;full][/previewyoutube] As a game jam entry, it is free of charge.
