Alter Ego
Disclaimer: This game has no music or sound effects... I apologize for the inconvenience.
Submission for Retro Jam! I followed the theme to an extent. Every time you summon your Ego, you lose a set amount of HP.
This is the first ever game I made, as well as my first ever game jam game! I hope you all enjoy the concept I made for this project.
This game was heavily inspired by Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3.
You can download this game's rom to play it on a Game Boy or a Game Boy emulator, as well as play it straight from the browser! Any feedback is much appreciated!
Controls (also in the README.md)-
Up - Up Arrow / W
Down - Down Arrow / S
Left - Left Arrow / A
Right - Right Arrow / D
A - Alt / Z / J
B - Ctrl / K / X
Start - Enter
Select - Shift
I would like to thank Aseprite for their awesome program that helps making pixel art easier. I would also like to thank the creators of GB Studio for making such a great and easy to use game engine!

A well in the theme entry , I know it is due to the genre, but I think you have too much text in intro for a gamejam.you know we have a lot of games to try and vote for , I think it is better to throw player in action. Anyway tha is a nice rpg/narrative game realy look as running on Gameboy :) keep it on .
Thank you so much for the feedback! I'll definitely take this into consideration when I continue working on this.
I see text "Your story begone one month ago" and nothing is happening. I tried multiple buttons but not luck...
Did you try pressing Z on your keyboard? By default, the Z key is the A button on the game boy so it should progress the dialogue.
Attempting to load without having a save file crashes the game
Thanks for letting me know! I'll fix that issue right now.
Edit: Should be fixed now!
