Open The Door and Smile is a short and surprisingly dark first person narrative that explores themes of broken relationships, drug use and custody battles.

You wake up in your apartment, with blurry vision and a text from your ex-partner saying that the police are on their way.  There are bottles of pills scattered around the house, you must dispose of them before they arrive, but you’ll need to focus your drug-addled mind to do so.  After a while you’ll slowly start to drift out of consciousness, so have to press the right mouse button to focus (and also to switch between actions).

There are 6 possible endings, each one pretty depressing, including one where you ‘win’ which shows just how far people will go to hurt someone they once loved.  There are no winners in this game, just a broken person acting like a monster as she struggles to just open the door and smile.

Delicious Cortex sees you taking on the role of a Lich King who raises armies or zombies and unleashes them on adventurers that keep invading his domain.

The Lich King doesn’t have the ability to fight on his own, but you can raise zombies for nearby gravestones, then release them near trespassing adventurers and watch with glee as the horde engulfs them.  Being zombies, they’re not the most tactical of allies – they’ll simply run and attach the first thing they see, but they are deadly, especially in numbers.  You can’t just charge straight in though, you must figure out the best route through each level, as you’ll need to amass a sizable horde before taking on multiple adventurers.

Created for Ludum Dare 33, Delicious Cortex impresses with its charming pixel art animation, super catchy soundtrack, quirky sense of humor and fun zombie hording gameplay.  A very different kind of horde mode.
