Last Home on Earth

In a mid-16th century alternate universe, you are living on a cursed land as the last family left in the midst of an encroaching darkness.

Playing as each of the members of this family in a top-down 2D map, the player's duty is to work to prevent the darkness from reaching their home. The Player has to venture away from home and into the darkness to gather resources -- wood, vines, and crystals -- to craft light beacons to forestall the darkness. Meanwhile, as the player crafts and places more beacons around the map, corrupted animals spawn from the darkness and try to destroy the beacons and kill the venturing family members.

Eventually, as the darkness encircles the house and the corrupted animals become more numerous, the player succumbs to the ever present darkness and, hopefully, tries again to last longer on their next playthrough.

Made in Unity for Global Game Jam 2019 (theme: "What home means to you").
