Parasight - A 2D RPG game by me

Post by salemir »

Hi! My name is Amir, I'm a solo indie developer, currently working on my last game. I love developing games, I've created 2 other games when I was learning developing games.

Image

Parasight is a 2D Soulslike RPG game with unique pixel graphics.
I'm developing it for months.

Story background

Planet Earth, an epsilon of the universe or even less.
After the creation of many origins, finally, the HUMANS have been created.
Humans befriended all other creatures because of their good adjectives.
But, one day a soul extract hunter, hunted a human and extracted the human's soul & injected it into itself. The hunter achieved great power. Soon after that other creatures find about it and tried to kill humans to get their power.
The power was almost impossible to control! after a while these creatures have gone mad and became thirsty for power, they lost their minds and tried to kill each other or even themselves to extract extra souls to get more power!
following this, the human race extinct, and all creatures who injected humans souls died.
Only one man from the stynex race was able to control the human soul's power, but because of the great power he achieved, he became a tyrant king and ruled the Nevermore island.
After a few years, a meteorite landed on Nevermore island, all of the people of Nevermore island lost their memory because of the meteorite effect. nobody knows what happened after this!

The story

Several years after the meteorite incident, still, another cruel king rules the Nevermore island, like the man from the Stynex race, he injected the last human soul extract and was able to control the power. Only a human is powerful enough to defeat this king and free the people of Nevermore island.

but how? The humans race been extinct many years ago...
at these times, you have been chosen by The Calnir to free the people of Nevermore island and end this madness. YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE!

The story follows in the game I can't say more, or it will be spoiled!
The story is dynamic, it changes by your choices and actions in the game.

The protagonist of the game

Thy name is Dishlione. You can choose a class for him, there are 6 classes in the full game, but only 2 of them are available in the demo, Wizard, and Knight.


The demo

The demo is a very small part of the full game, I've created it to show the art style, gameplay, and the base idea of the full game.
The full game may vary from the demo.

Technical Info

Parasight is built by Unity. Currently, I'm just focused to bring my game to Windows, but I considered Mac and Linux too.
(although the demo is available for Mac, Linux, and Windows)

Current Status

The full game is 30% finished. As I said before I created a demo to get feedback from players to see how's player's opinions on my game.
I work on the game in my free time because I have to work on another job for my life, but I will quit it to work full time on the game if my games get good feedbacks and players like it.

Good game demo!

The art, music, and sound are good. Physics is good.

The tutorial level is too long, too many signs to read.

I think it would be better to just display the button and a 1-5 word description on the wall instead of reading signs.

A,D - Move
Space bar - Jump.
Right Mouse Click - Attack
Left Mouse Click - Shield
R - Use item / eat
T - Switch Item

Get to the exciting action quickly at the start.

Edit:
Thank you for making a Linux demo. It worked well on my computer!
I also appreciate the option to skip the story.

So, I couldn't get past the big vials because I don't know what the left or right rat buttons are. I don't have those. I pressed every key on my laptop keyboard but none worked. Please update when you have configurable controls.

Because, I really, really want to continue playing this game. I cannot explain it, but it is really really intriguing to me. There's a very very "outsider art" feel to it, and a very... I want to say "whimsical" feel to it. Honest to god, this feels like an odd work of art.

I really hope that you continue and complete this game. I'm going to put it out a bit on twitter just because it's amazed me so much.

The rat buttons are the right click and left click mouse buttons.

Space is for jumping. I could not figure that one out.

In the in-game menu in options->How to play it shows the controls.

Hi! Sorry for replying late. I'm so happy that you liked my game, it means a lot to me.
also as another friend it this topic said rat buttons are mouse buttons, I thought it would be cool to use rat instead of mouse :D
your feedbacks give me motivation and energy on my journey, I really appreciate it.
thanks a lot!

I'm mentally impaired. Keep the rat buttons, that is so much better than saying mouse.
