Progressively generated game. Each level adds a small new feature or enemy. The objective of each level is to reach the door to the next level. The Game can be played at any stage of development because each level is a finished product. If the next level has not been created the door will show up as locked.
Players can load progress with an old-school passcode system.
Assets can be updated at any stage of the game but they may not affect previous levels.
E.g.
- Level 1: Characters are represented by stick figures.
- Level 100: Characters are 2d sprites.
Level 1 must remain as stick figures.
Darkness seems to reveal more in this world than light.
The Game is set in The World, a heaven-like plane with simple objects and entities, with it slowly being consumed by darkness. Haro wakes up inside his house and finds cryptic glyphs telling him to go right. He grabs a broken sword and sets out on a quest to the right end of the world.
As Haro moves to the right, tiny bits of the world's vague lore is revealed. The world starts out minimalist and well-lighted and very slowly becomes darker and more intricate. Soon, Haro encounters foot soldiers who attack him on sight. These soliders become more and more corrupted by darkness as he pushes right. Haro cannot re-enter doors to his left, as they have been consumed by the Darkness.
Haro periodically encounters Rivald, who communicates through miming a few actions. On their first encounter, Rivald points to the left side of the screen and draws his sword to fight Haro. Once defeated, Rivald retreats to the right side.
Haro also encounters some glyphs which point left. They are the opposite color of the ones in his house. He has the option to interact with them, which makes them fade out.
- Haro - the hero of the story. We don't know much about him. He seems determined to keep travelling to the right. His skills and power grows the game goes on.
- Rivald - the rival of Haro. His motivations are also shrouded in mystery but he seems determined to stop Haro from moving to the right. He always pushes towards the left. He grows stronger with each encounter, gaining new abilities (some that Haro has, some that he has yet to learn) and new attack patterns.
- The Writer - mysterious entity leaving the glyphs that Haro follows. These glyphs are helpful as they provide the world's tutorials.
- The Darkness - mysterious substance that shrouds and corrupts The World. Stronger enemies have more of the Darkness wrapped around them.
Levels introduce some kind of new mechanic and/or enemy. They can be permanent or temporary but must not affect previous levels, ever. Items that were acquired from past levels may or may not carry over to the next level depending on the current level's developer's discretion. Once an item is not carried over, it is lost forever though a "version 2" of the item may appear in later levels. This is to keep the game's continuity.
Keep in mind these are just guides, there is all the room in the world for change.
