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.

I'm happy to announce that I've already started on my next game just two months after releasing my current release "The Granfather" . My next game is going to be called "ARNIE" and is about my dead wiener dog who was my best friend for 18 years, I had to have him put to sleep last summer.

"ARNIE" will be my first platformer, and also my first game that has jump scares incorporated into the design. The game actually takes place in the same universe as The Grandfather. The game once again features all hand drawn comic book art by my usual artist Saint Yak, and this time I am making the entire soundtrack with my voice, no instruments, even the SFX, just my voice and a microphone.

This time around I plan to use IndieDB at least 2-3 times a week as a devblog, as well as YouTube to make a video dev diary series.

Please follow the game here, and follow me on Twitter @RogerMichaelPat to keep up with the development of "ARNIE"

We are so early in development that I don't have much to show you at all, but I will leave you with this picture of the real Arnie.
