Indie Games

Dusk Child (2016) is an adventure/platformer game starring an archaeologist in search of her past.

Couldn't get Mac version to work (kept crashing), so I played the browser version.

Fun graphics, they remind me of 90s computer games like Jill of the Jungle. Good colors, and the atmosphere was to die for. Good basic game mechanics, just jumping, picking things up, and (apparently) running. It's VERY old school, to the point where you can't hold a bucket AND read a sign.

Jumping and landing on small squares takes some doing! I saw some other reviews that complained of "slippery feet," but I actually found it fairly forgiving for my skill level. Took me a while to beat the last room because I'm not that good at jumping on small squares.

A short (<2 hours) but enjoyable game!

Hint for opening the final temple door if, like me, you couldn't figure it out: Stand on the statues in the east/west temples and use the X button.
