Recta Provincia

CW: Murder and traumatic loss of eyesight are mentioned in dialogue. Blindness is a component of gameplay.

Recta Provincia is a small game about a blind warlock from Chiloé :) It was made for the 2025 LAGS Game JAM. The theme was both Latin American Identity and "What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't feel".

So it's a game about a blind warlock seeking revenge against his former friends, who betrayed him.

I wanted to play a bit more with the vision mechanic (e.g. upgrades for making it last longer, or having a bigger radius). If I got to make the boss fight, making the mechanic a vital part of it might have been cool as well. Alas.

I tried to style it using GameBoy colors and retro sounds.

============================
CW: Se mencionan asesinatos y la pérdida traumática de la visión en diálogos. La ceguera es parte de las mecánicas del juego.

Recta Provincia es un pequeñísimo juego sobre un brujo ciego de Chiloé :) Fue hecho para la 2025 LAGS Game JAM. La temática era tanto la identidad latinoamericana como "Ojos que no ven, corazón que no siente".

Así que este es un juego sobre un brujo ciego, buscando venganza contra los que eran sus amigos y lo traicionaron.

Quería hacer un par de cosas más con la mecánica de visión (por ejemplo, mejoras que hicieran que durara más, o que aumentara su radio). Si hubiera llegado a implementar la pelea contra el "jefe", habría sido genial planearla de forma que la mecánica de visión fuera una parte vital. Pero bueno.

Intenté darle un estilo similar al de GameBoy, particularmente en los colores.
