Decypress (Short Souls-Like Narrative Game)

#Decypress Intro and Info

This game was created for CCT382H5 at the University of Toronto Mississauga in late 2021.

The assignment was focused on world-building, and narrative. And although gameplay was not a part of it, I felt like adding a souls-like flare for the fun of it.

FromSoftware Inspirations

Decypress takes heavy inspiration from the Dark Souls and Bloodborne games by FromSoftware, and while not polished- fans will see some similarities to entertain themselves for a short while.

Game Tech Info

This game is designed to be run on a 64 bit Windows PC. There are graphics settings to help with performance, however, performance may vary as it was only tested with 2 capable machines.

There are 4 Levels, with several enemy types.

Sadly items do not save between levels, but they are all hidden in unique areas per level.

Certain events need to transpire to continue, it is important to read NPC dialogue to have a clearer direction.

Ground Messages will explain the mechanics of the game in greater detail...

Only mouse and keyboard are fully supported and is recommended you use that control scheme. Controllers have very minor partial support.

The game does not have any save features, so be wary about quitting the game.

Controls

W.A.S.D to move. E to interact/perform an action. Arrow keys to cycle-equipped items. Press I to open and navigate inventory menus. Tab to lock onto enemies. Q to roll. Left-click to attack. Space to jump.
