Meet TawStudio’s Bed Time Adventure!

An Top-down Horror Pantshitter Co-op Game!

Helloooo amazing awesome folks!!! Today, we are presenting our new game idea for the Pack of Horrors Game Jam!

This jam is very exciting to us, because we are doing two awesome things at it: an horror game, and learning to develop a top-down action game!

So, let’s go straight to the game: Bed Time Adventure!

The Plot

BTA  tells the story of a group of 5 kids having a sleepover at one of their houses. They find an old book full of terror stories and read it at bed time, as any normal kids would do. But they didn’t know it was Grandpa Otto’s Ancient Sorcery Book! While they are sleeping, the wardrobe door opens violently, and a evilish portal sucks one of the kids to somewhere unkown!

Now, terrified but bravely, the other kids quickly grab a few objets around the room and storm into the portal, in order to rescue the other kid!

Inside the portal, they find themselves on a dark and scary kind of house, a materialization of the kids creepiest fears! It’s a giant house, full of puzzles, mazes, and unkown evil forces they are yet to discover.

The Mechanics

The game is made for 1 to 4 players singlescreen co-op (maybe a splitscreen/lan/online co-op someday), and is focused on survival and puzzle solving, with some evil creatures fighting involved. The main objective is getting the keys at each floor and advance, until they find and rescue the captured kid!

 Also, they need to survive this deadly place by not letting their fear bar get to a maximum, which “kills them”! If the game is being played by more than 1 player, the others can revive him.

Players will be able to swap between any of the kids, in order to use their unique special abilities, such as strengh gloves, high speed rollers, and even a comfortable fear-reducing branket!

Look and Feel

Most of the enemies concepts are based on kids worst fears and traumas, as follows:

Some of the house aspects:

And a very little example of what we expect the game to look like =)
