Articles - The Lady

The Lady is a 2D Surreal Puzzle/Adventure game,with Horror elements. The game features hand drawn character art, photographic backgrounds, stop-motion themed animation, and a hauntingly abrasive analog soundtrack. The game is a short and surrealist emotional journey that takes The Lady through a series of fever dream hallucinations, while being at odds with her inner struggles of anxiety and depression. She encounters multiple versions of herself throughout the game, unsure of which versions to trust. The Gameplay Mechanics are inspired by classic SNES and Turbo Grafx16 type games. The level of difficulty is brutal, reminiscent of games such as Ghost N Goblins. The game is displayed in a “waist up” cinematic style, for a more personal experience. Gameplay features side-scrolling exploration, very simple puzzle solving (maze style situations), arcade-style battles, and plays in letterbox full screen HD.
