His Lovely Menagerie

This is my first game, made for a university project during one month.

The main idea was to combine management and horror, and create a unique experience where players not only have to survive or keep control — but do both at the same time.

You need to take care of a scary creature, but also stay alive yourself, since it's dangerous.

As a result, the game is pretty short, and it wasn’t possible to fully explore the idea.
Although it's fun to play with Bighead, the only creature in the game, it’s not enough to create full-fledged management gameplay — there’s too little data, and once you figure out the main mechanics, it becomes predictable.

I even had to make the first level more difficult — and it’s actually more fun now, even with just one creature.

Anyway, this was a very interesting experience, and I learned a lot of new things.
Thank you for playing :)
