My entry to the 3-Color Jam (#3CJam), where you had to create a "spooky" game that used no more than 3 colours (and yes, Black is a colour!). It is an attempt to make a short adventure game, based heavily on the movie "Halloween" by John Carpenter. I created it for the PICO-8 virtual console, using my SCUMM-8 point & click adventure game engine. For best results: turn the lights down and the sound up! :D CONTROLS: Mouse is recommended (Arrows / Z / X - will also work) Point & Click Primer: If never played a "Point+Click" adventure game before... Simply use the cursor and (left) click where you want the player to Walk To. To interact with objects, click on the Verb you wish to perform, then click on the object. For example, to Pick-up the Knife... simply click "PICK-UP" and then click on the "Knife" object in the scene. When hovering the cursor over objects, their default verb/action (if applicable) will be highlighted. In this case, you can simply Right-click on the object for the default verb/action to be performed.

Original "Halloween" Music, Concept & Credit: John Carpenter RELEASE HISTORY: v1.1: FIX: Issues with wardrobe doors FIX: Replaying intro when re-entering first room FIX: Display issue if user clicks after ending CHG: Now only offers hint once you've looked at a certain object. v1.0: Initial version
