The Boy and his Story (Prototype)
A downloadable game for Windows
You fell asleep in your father's car and re-entered your MIND. Rather than stayin' still, you decide to run around, see what's up, and give your new moves some spotlight.
NOTE: Any time there's an update and there's new options or changes to saving systems, DELETE your save files.
How?
Hold your Windows key, press "R", and type in %localappdata%. Look for "The_Boy_and_his_Story" folder and delete all saves. (Yes, even your main file.)
This game is heavily inspired by many other games like the Sonic Rush trilogy, UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE, Dragon Ball, and many, MANY more.
This game is a prototype and FREE. Assets'll likely get changed in upcoming update and if you've bought it, you got finessed.
Xbox Controller Supported
(For Playstation and Switch controllers, you'll have to use external apps to get them to work. Really sorry for the inconvenience and I'll try to get those to work at some point.)

Granted it needs a little bit of tuning, mostly in the physics part but that would be about it, I am not a great fan of sonic games or UNDERTALE myself but I can see the inspiration and how good it was adapted.
Sorry I could not experience all of it but I absolutely suck at Sonic-like games, for what is worth I loved what I did experience, the game has a sick aesthetic to it and a lot of personality on visuals, the music and the gameplay, everything goes well together.
This one is sure to be a banger, wish you good luck with the project and keep up the good work!
