Towers

About the Game

Towers is a relaxing, open-world, narrative game, somewhere between an adventure game and a walking simulator. Inspired by games like Shadow of the Colossus, Ico, Vane and Elden Ring, but with no violence (and much less scope!) Explore a mysterious island, talk to its inhabitants, find out their stories and perhaps understand your own?

Instructions to Play

You can find a README.txt in the zip file which contains details of the controls for the game. The game is fairly intensive to run, and may take a little while to start up. Please be patient and let it do its thing.

The game has voice-over support, accessible from the main menu. There is also support to lock the character into a running state, so that you do not have to hold the directional pad. Please see README.txt for more details.

About the Development

Towers was made over 7 months for the Open World Game Jam. Its sparse contents are a reflection of that limited development time. However, it is a complete story, and there is at least one ending. I would recommend playing it slowly, and not expecting too much.

Future Plans

I'm not sure what I want to do with this game, but I'm considering taking it forward in the future. You can follow me @btsherratt here, or on Mastodon, if you're interested!
