Don't Go Alone

Don't Go Alone

Imagine this: you are a teenage ogress named Klofalaekjarkjaftur. In your free time you love frolicking in the woods (even though you shouldn't really be doing it, because your parents told you it's very dangerous). The most terrifying monster in the universe is a human - years ago, human adventurers travelled to your world and hunted ogres for loot.

Imagine this: you are a gay accountant in his mid twenties named John. In your free time you love doing every possible boring activity. Your favourite food is avocado toast and you have a dog named Max (what else would you call a dog, honestly?) 

Imagine this: John and Klofalaekjarkjaftur meet each other. He's lost in the woods and she's afraid, but won't let it stand in her way. There's an old story about five magical crystals which can be used to travel between worlds. Will John be able to go back to Earth? 

One thing's for sure - it's better not to go deep into the woods alone.

How to play?

Player 1 - you are Klofalaekjarkjaftur the ogre. Use AD to move.

Player 2 - you are John the human. Use arrows to move. In single player mode, John is played by the computer. 

Both of you will unlock new skills as you play. To unlock a new skill you will need to solve a puzzle and gain a gem. If you don't gain a gem on a level - go back and see if you haven't missed anything. You will need to gain a gem to advance to the next level. If you're really stuck - scroll to the bottom of the page to see a tutorial for how to gain each of the gems.

When creating a new save file you will be asked to choose a play mode - single player or multi player. You will not be able to change this setting for an already existing save file.

This game has an auto save feature. Your progress is saved at the beginning of a new level.  If you quit mid-level, your progress will not be saved. If you die, you can reload your save file. You will be able to replay the level you died at, but both Klofalaekjarkjaftur and John will have three lives.

How to-s:

• Level 1
  • The puzzle is at the end of the level. It includes two statues which turn from time to time. If you solve it, you will gain a pink gem. 
  • Single player: You need to stand in front of both of the statues to activate them. When the statues become activated, they will turn a different colour. When both statues are activated, you will receive the gem.
  • Multi player: You need to stand in front of both of the statues at the same time to activate them. When the statues become activated, they will turn a different colour. When both statues are activated, you will receive the gem.
• Level 2
  • The puzzle is located a little further than Janice. It includes two floating platforms. If you solve it, you will gain a purple gem.
  • Single player: If you hop on the platform and jump, it will move up. You need to move it up as far as it will go. John will try to help you, but he may require assistance - when one platform is at the top, it will not go down. When both platforms are at the top, you will receive the gem.
  • Multi player: If you hop on the platform and jump, it will move up. You need to move it up as far as it will go. Both of you must jump on both of the platforms at the same time, because otherwise they will start moving back down. When both platforms are at the top, you will receive the gem.
• Level 3
  • The puzzle is located after the Poisonous Mushroom battle. It includes three statues and two moving platforms. If you solve it, you will gain an orange gem.
  • You need to strike a statue to activate it. When the statues become activated, they will turn a different colour. When both statues are activated the vertical moving platform will lower allowing you to interact with the third statue. When you strike the third statue, you will receive the gem.
• Level 4
  • The puzzle is at the end of the level. It includes three gems. If you solve it, you will gain a blue gem.
  • You need to strike the gems in the order in which you gained them. At level one you gained a pink gem, at level two a purple gem and at level three an orange gem. When you strike a gem it will become activated and have an animation. After some time, it will become inactive again. When all three gems are activated in the correct order, you will receive the gem. 
• Level 5
  • Beat the Evil Wizard at the end of the level to gain the last gem and finish the game.
