Jinx o'Clock

About the Game

IMPORTANT: I recommend playing the downloadable windows version.

Jinx o'Clock - A Witch Adventure is a short point and click adventure game created by Hexenwerk (solo dev). You play a witch who wants to solve a "murder".

This game has been developed from mid-August to mid-October 2024 for the YAZJam 5. It is also based on my own worldbuilding project and the first game I've created with the help of Adventure Creator for Unity.

While this game follows the given theme ("Is this for real? Am I dreaming?") rather loosely (there is weird scenery), I implemented some of the optional diversifiers:

• You can find a "YAY!" in the game, 
• a pentagram for the jinxing, 
• as well as a few memes (the flat crocodile from the flat f*** friday, trololo and the grumpy cat)

There are several more ideas I'd like to have added, like more interactions, a German loca, maybe even voiceover. But I didn't manage to do that during the jam. I may continue the development of this game later.

Controls

• Movement: Point and Click with the left mouse button (LMB)
• Open inventory: Move the Cursor to the top of the screen
• Interact with Objects and Items: LMB
• Interact with Hotspot: LMB to show interaction options
• Inspect inventory item: Right mouse button (RMB)
• Use Item with object or slot: LMB on Item, then LMB on the target
• Use Witchcraft (Jinx): Click on the Pentagram at the bottom right
• Skip dialogue text: LMB
• Open Game Pause Menu: Escape
• Switch between Windowed/Fullscreen: Alt + Enter (Browser: F11)

The game can currently be played in the following languages:

There is no voiceover for now, just subtitles/text to read.
