Sacred Meat

Sacred Meat is a Point and Click Horror Adventure game created for the original Gameboy, entered into GBCompo23, where the theme is "you are the monster." Guide Jonah through his trauma as he tries to take care of his aging father and reconcile the difficult past they share. 

You can cycle through three interactions with most objects: Look (magnifying glass), Interact (hand), and Speak (text bubble). There is an inventory that you must use to solve puzzles and collect items needed to progress, so make sure to look around.

There are 2 endings and extra bonus scene. A walkthrough will be provided in the credits text file, in case you get stuck, or really want to see the extra scene. The extra scene is meant to be the ending that best correlates to the theme.

Controls:

• Start/Enter: Brings up the pause menu or checklist.
• Select/Shift: Cycle through interaction options.
• A Button/Z key: Accept/continue
• B Button/X Key: Back or return to previous screen.
• D-Pad/Arrow Keys: Move cursor

Inspired by Beach House's song, "Drunk in LA", where the lyric "Memory is a sacred meat that's drying all the time" appears.
