The Dummy Experiment
SteamWe are live! Thanks everyone for playing the early access and leaving all the reviews for our game. As you may have noticed and read, we are live! However we expect that some bugs are still in the game but we did our best to resolve as much as we could for the release! If you come across any bugs, please feel free to leave it behind in the communityhub.
With our full release we added full controller support! You don't need to use your mouse anymore. The option is still there if you want to!
In The Dummy Experiment you are a test dummy subjected to a horrible experiment by a mad scientist, Dr. Strohmann. When you start up the game your goal is to pick a dummy of your choice. On your way to the experiment the grappling hook (that picked up the dummy you chose) somehow loses grip. When the dummy’s feet reach the ground, the test dummy suddenly stands up. From here on, you are in control of the dummy. The narrator reacts surprised but motivate you (the dummy) to go for it and escape the facility. As a dummy that just got his first experience in walking you use your balance to move away and escape the horrible experiment you were exposed to. Not only do you use this balance to get moving, but also in order to dodge objects and face obstacles that you will encounter. While moving it is important to keep your balance so you won't fall over. Once you move you can't stop. Stay focused, and remember... Rushing around the terrain will only make it harder.
We advice you to play with a controller over keyboard as it may ease up the controls. A big special thanks to our narrator Sam Lopez. You can reach out to him with the contact information you can find on our community page.
