4.1 The Game World ‐ Overview - BucketCatGames/ProjektArbeit2 GitHub Wiki

The game world is a dungeon under the surface of an exploited planet. It is filled with odd native creatures and puzzles left behind by a long gone civilization. There are also antagonistic sci-fi soldiers trying to hinder the player from reaching the top of the dungeon.

4.1.1 Fun mechanics

Hecatomb has a fun combat system in which the health points of the player act as the ammunition. The player is forced to keep an eye out for their health, hitting enemies with it and dodging their attacks to pick up the shot health laying on the ground.

4.1.2 Unusual environment

The environment of Hecatomb is nowhere normal. There are peculiar things to witness around every corner. Be it a room filled with eyeballs or a chicken with human feet and a palm as a head.

4.1.3 Dreamy feel

Have you ever had a dream which felt just a bit too uncanny valley in an obvious way, but everyone around you acted as if nothing was off? Hecatomb is trying to achieve this alert feeling in your guts.
