Ephialtes

Turtorial Player can move and jump with basic instruction WASD and Space. To summon objects that can help you out, you have to click the correct buttons; otherwise if the incorrect object is selected, you’re going to be hurted. In one scene, you will have up to 18 chances to summon what you think is helpful and after that, you fail and forever lost in the nightmare.

Allegory behind the game This game is imitating the process of exploring one’s inner world. 

The three scenes, school bullying, domestic violence and depression, are three of the most frequently discussed injuries people may experience. How to ESCAPE from these scenarios and SAVE YOURSELF is the final question within Ephialtes.

 The 18 times player try to self-rescue represent the 18 years before entering adulthood: once you’re lost in such dilemmas in your teenage, your mental health is badly and irreversibly damaged. After you succefully escape from nightmares, on the other hand, you enter an empty realm with nothing; that’s where your normal life initiates, with you finally regared as psychologically healthy.
