Out of the Stacks
Controls are described in-game.
Guide your player through the university library stacks and beyond, as you grapple with the odd creatures who come alive in the depths of the stacks in this story-based platformer with embedded logic puzzles.
A light-hearted take on the horror genre, created for the Themed Horror Game Jam #6 in about 6 weeks, with the Jam theme "Among the Stars." There are hints at the theme throughout, but the thematic connection becomes apparent in the final scenes.

Interesting concept and great execution. Platforming was good, the puzzle elements were a nice touch. Recommended!
Did I find some of the platform jumping just a little too exact? Yes. Did I keep sliding off of things until eventually I decided jumping up the wall was easier? Yes.
But: the story was engaging and I needed to know how it ended, and the protagonist is just incredibly endearing, in that she looks and moves like, you know, a person, not an action hero. Love it.
