Mist - Rethinking Magic
In making for GMTK 2023 Game jam with the theme "Roles Reversed"
This is a alpha prototype for my idea to the game-jam. Making a game where you play as a mage that has lost its powers. the only spell available is to posses enemies to take them down from the "inside". Though this game was very ambitious for 48 hours making time plus first time making a 2d Game in unity I am very hopeful to complete making this game after the jam. It has been a fun challenge and hope you will enjoy what is made and provide feedback for the future!
GAME INFO / HOW TO PLAY:
As the game is only in a very new state, the only features is walking and some kind of swapping character.
- WASD is to move, even though only W is needed.
- Mouse to look.
- Mosue0 after hovering a enemy to "possess" (Without the possibility to steer anything, just follow my wonderful wander AI)
- ESC to get back to the player.. Sorry for making it hard to esc out of fullscreen..
No music or assets has been used as mostly game mechanics has been made!

Hi! Thanks for the play!
I totally agree on the movement original speed, i think I just got used to it so really good that its pointed out! And I do agree on the controls beeing weird, or at least including ASD to the game, I think W alone does the job. But with testing different solution to the movement and game test alot I think I will find a solution that fits! :D And I think when some sort of combat gets included this will fall into place.
Have a great day and thanks for the kind words!
Hello, this is a nice game , nice concept and everything love the camera script , keep working on the game. ^^ Good luck
Hi!
Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! It makes me happy to hear!
I'll do my best to keep it up! :D
Hi! Just wanted to give you some words of encouragement, so you will continue to work on your game ^^ I would say your game really do has potential, I really like the idea. However it will definitely take lots of work to finish it. I'm curious about the idea of taking down enemies from 'the inside'. but it would also be good if you added some graphics- it would definitely boost up the quality a lot, even some placeholders.
As for the character, I think there are a lot of small improvements that could be made. For instance, giving the character more movement speed and fixing those small glitches while moving.
Hope you continue to work on your game, best of luck!
Hi! And thanks for the nice words!
I hope to continue working on the game and I'm glad that the concept falls into your liking! And I agree on your points! Had hopes to include graphics and sound to the game before jam deadline but for several reason it went un prioritized.
But I will make sure to do my best to keep this passion of mine alive to continue!
