PC homebrew title - Babadook

[Retro Lord]

Babadook is based on the old Hunt the Wumpus game for the TI-99.

 

Controls: Use the arrows to move around, and use W,A,S,D too fire your arrow in your desired direction once you've found Babadook, but beware; if you miss you'll wish you where never born.

 

The game features a highscore list so you can see who is the best Babadook hunter.

 

If you stumble upon a bat you will be moved to a random room.

If you fall into a bottomless pit you will see a small animation of you falling like in the original Hunt the Wumpus game, and if you see the Babadook...You'll find out for yourself.

 

The game is just an .exe file so you should be able to play straight away, this is my first PC title so again, if you encounter any problems please let me know. And come with suggestions on improvements too if you have any.

 

Story:

If it’s in a word, or it’s in a look. You can’t get rid of the Babadook. If you’re a really clever one, And you know what it is to see. Then you can make friends with a special one, A friend of you and me. His name is mister Babadook, and this is his book. A rumbling sound then 3 sharp knocks; ba-BA-ba DOOK! DOOK! DOOK! That’s when you’ll know that he’s around, You’ll see him if you look. This is what he wears on top, He’s funny don’t you think? See him in your room at night, And you won’t sleep a wink. I’ll soon take off my funny disguise, (take heed of what you’ve read) And once you see what’s underneath … You’re going to wish you were.. ..dead. I’ll wager with you, I’ll make you a bet. The more you deny, THE STRONGER I GET. You start to change when I get in, The Babadook growing right UNDER YOUR SKIN. Oh, Come! Come SEE What’s UNDERNEATH!
