Decay
A downloadable game for Windows
Xiuying must revive her mother by any means. One failed attempt has already caused her to become lost in a distorted maze filled with mutated monsters. Can she complete the ritual, or will she be stuck here forever?
Depending on which corpses you choose to perform the ritual on, different paths will open, leading to finding pieces of a ritual instruction page, which saves on each playthrough. The instruction page may reveal an important bit of information to Xiuying that may lead her to make a difficult choice in order to perform a successful ritual.
2D pixelated side-scroller with horror elements.

How am I supposed to get the 6 bodies? I've tried getting 2 bodies close to the ritual place but when I put one in, the other one still "dies", I found all the notes but it doesn't help at all except that it shows you need to get 6 bodies, some hints for how to get 6 bodies would've been great. I really like this game but this is very disappointing tbh.
When starting the game with all the pages, the game's music should play in rewind, this would allow you to perform an action in the world you otherwise wouldn't've been able to. This action is what allows you to collect the 6th body.
although, I cannot say for certain this will work as we didn't have much time to playtest everything in the week of development this was made in. I am really sorry if it is bugged out and does not work.
Yes, I got all the pieces and now the game music was playing in rewind but I tried many times to get the 2 bodies close to the ritual so that I can put both in but it didn't work for. Aside that I really enjoyed the game that's why I spent so much time on it.
I'm really glad you liked it! Have you tried picking up the axe by the weeping girl? The option should unlock when beginning the game with all the pages.
I haven't, didn't know I could do that, I was more into trying to get the secret ending after collecting the pieces.What is it for exactly? can I kill the enemies with the axe?
a bit unforgiving :) could do with a checkpoint after each corpse collected or something.
