Menticide

Menticide is an endless runner where you protect a man running from himself. You draw lines to bounce the man around, block off enemies and cut through obstacles. Through strong symbolism and procedural rhetoric we are using the game as an analogue for mental health. 

This game is still in development, and we have an update planned around December.

Download Instructions:

1. Download the file.

2. Open the file on your computer, right click it, and unzip the file.

3. In the unzipped folder, navigate to the folder with your operating system, and run either the .exe if you are on Windows,  or the Menticide-mac application if you are on Mac.

Gameplay Instructions:

Use the "a" and "d" keys, or the arrow keys to move left and right.

Use your mouse to click and draw lines that will block off enemies line-of-sight, and bounce projectiles away.

You have a draw meter that will run out if you draw for too long. It will refill over time, but if it reaches zero, you will not be able to draw until it refills all the way.
