MUSIC OF THE NIGHT

Short Description
An organist visits an old church, where the music has unexpected results. Bitsy solo for 2024-09 Extra Life WGC Jam.

Fundraising
We are fundraising for our local children's hospital through Extra Life. If you enjoyed my game, I'd love it if you donated to me, Chris Hay, on our fundraiser team page (the fundraiser is running Sep 29 possibly into Nov, 2024).

How to play

  • Use WASD or arrow keys, that's all.
  • There is sound.
  • You cannot save.

Background

When I was in high school, I dreamt I was playing pipe organ but found bats were flying in and out of the swell box... I discovered there was actually a vampire living inside. The vampire just so happened to be my hip English teacher. Of course, no one believed me!

Before making this game, I had never used Bitsy before, but I knew it worked well for story-driven little games. I decided to use the dream concept, and created this over the weekend of Sep 27-29, 2024.

The music and sound effects are all from the default Bitsy game collection! I wanted to add my own music, but ran out of time for the jam, and the default sounds I chose fit fairly well, in my opinion! Maybe I'll release a post-jam version later, with my own sounds =)

Versions:
1.0 - Jam game submission (2024-09-29)
1.2 - Music now keeps playing during dialogues (2024-10-01)

I love the German thrown into some of the dialogue, really makes it feel immersive
