Into The Crops
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
About the project
Into the Crops is a horror game inspired by the early 2000s horror games for the PS1 such as Silent Hill and the PS1 Haunted Demodisks. Created by 5 students of the University of Alicante as part of their Project Based Learning with only C++ and OpenGL.
Grab your trustworthy oil lantern and explore an eldritch cornfield that is trying to corrupt you, protecting yourself with the light.
Story
It's 1980 and you find yourself travelling through the countryside between Newburyport and Arkham, Massachusets, when you lose control of your car and you drive through the vasts cornfields that smother everything in sight.
Your car is beyond repair and you are completely lost in an endless cornfield. No matter how much you run through the fields, you never seem to find an exit. The only thing you can see is a church in the distance, and so your adventure begins.

- W,A,S,D walk
- Mouse move camera
- Left Click turn on & off the lantern (when you grabbed it of course)

Download
Install instructions
In case the PS1 (400x225) and/or PS2 (800x450) resolutions doen't show at 16:9, you may need to enable Full screen scaling in your graphics card control panel.
This is due to your graphic card configuration looking for the closest resolution and forcing a 4:3 aspect ratio instead of using a custom one.
You may also create a custom resolution in 16:9 for our game in the same panel, but this is not advised.

I've spent nearly 30 minutes walking aimlessly trying to figure out how to get to the barn.
What does 1986 have to do with anything? Right, so I went all the way back to her grave to see if I can find anything. I can't.
The game pace is very slow, so you can imagine the struggle of going back and fourth constantly.
There's two ways you can go to the barn, I've spent quite some time going left right left right left right, and left left right right and whatnot, I can't manage to get to the barn, and the game makes it very unclear if what you're doing is wrong.

92/100 VERY GOOD
I am not entirely sure where you are going with this but I like the aesthetic so far. Check out the video (third game).
Hey, thanks for taking your time and giving us feedback!
We are having small issues with the collisions, which also makes the controls go backwards sometimes, not inteded!
We are also adding flavour & history text to the graves, bible, etc so we can start telling the story a bit.
Our goal is to ship a horror game similar to Silent Hill/Aka Manto!
