Amy's Quest

Help Amy find a cure for her friend! Navigate a procedurally generated map and solve puzzles along the way.

This is my last minute submission for the Adventure Game Jam 2023, experimenting with procedurally generated locations and puzzles. The main idea here is to have navigation through the generated map being a separate task from a larger story playing out. It's really just a concept study at this point, but hopefully interesting!

You play with the mouse, switching between a map view (where more and more places are revealed), and a location view, where you interact with items and characters.

•  On the map, move Amy to a different place by clicking on a node.
•  Click again to enter the location.
•  "Point and click" on items and characters to interact.
•  Use the door to exit to map view. (Not available while you're in dialog).
• Collect crystals to cross bridges to other parts of the map.
• Find the other part of the map and figure out what to do with it to solve the main quest.

The map is procedurally generated, so layout and character / item distribution will be different every time. Generating a main story procedurally proved to be way out of scope for this jam, so I settled on a fixed quest structure with some randomization.
