Drowning the Demons is a story based 2D platformer where you fight through the 5 stages of grief, to help Charlie drown his demons and immerge from the shadows. You must help Charlie balance the hormones rushing round his body so he can take control over the alchemy of his mind.

Symbolism is at the heart of the game where the player is invited to find the connections and meanings behind what happens to Charlie.

This game has been designed and built for the PirateSoftware Game Jam July 2024.
