A mysterious letter from the beloved. A cursed box of abominations. A golden key to a locked door. . . These are the three secrets which await in each dark, dreadful nether of your mind as you pursue the answers to your troubled past. Why have you fallen into the labyrinthine tortures of your own soul? Who has written these letters? How can you escape? And what can you do to avoid the ever vigilant eye of the Watcher? ADDICT is a retro game from one-man studio Jenito Games which invites you to find the answers to these troubling questions as you play through nine exciting - and terrifying - levels in this unique platformer. Featuring old-school artwork, cutting edge sound and music, and enough imagery and symbolism to keep you munching for hours, ADDICT is a truly unique gaming experience that follows in the pattern of artistic indie games which not only entertain, but also challenge and provoke. So prepare to take mouse and keyboard in hand. . . the Watcher awaits!

As a game designer/developer, there comes a moment of huge, intense satisfaction: the moment you see someone else enjoying your game.

Well, that moment has come! And I won’t lie – I am beaming from ear to ear as I write this. It's amazing to think that I've been able to give someone, if just for a few moments, something to smile about. It's AWESOME! So, as promised in the description, here is Sinuyan and his first look at ADDICT. Personally, I enjoy the second video more because it gets to the meat of the game, but you can watch either/both at your leisure.


Obviously, there's a learning curve at the beginning of the game. And there are also a few little bugs/poor design elements I'd like to work out before Friday. And now, the second video!


Like I said at the beginning. . . THIS is the part of game development that feels so rewarding to me! I am extremely excited about ADDICT, and can't wait to share it with the world this Friday :)

Wow. . . that is a loaded question ;) lol The short answer would be "never, ever, ever give up!" But there is definitely more to it than that! Tell you what, I'll PM some pointers I have found useful.
