So here for you today, I have previews of my entry's graphics, music, and story. You may either be discouraged from this because you know you can't win, or you might gain confidence seeing a game that looks worse than yours. Whatever the case, enjoy:

As you can see, it's graphics are simplistic, no shading, just black outlines and solid colors. (Minus the background) Nothing to be afraid of in this department, I don't aim to make the graphics the selling point of my entry.

Here's the first song:

Kind of a mellow creepy tune, nothing real special, but it's nice, and fits the tone I'm going for. It's also completely original, which is always a plus.

As for the story:

Our protagonist wakes up in what appears to be the middle of nowhere… Literally! He assumes he is dreaming. A ghostly figure appears to him, and confirms his suspicions by confirming it is a dream. However, he also says that something is wrong here, he's not asleep, but in a coma, and is dying. "Have you ever heard the myth, that if you die in your sleep, you die in real life? Believe it or not, that's true." The protagonist obviously doesn't like the sound of that, and asks if there's any way to survive. The ghostly figure tells him of a pathological escape route, that will wake him up, long enough that maybe he can get help and be saved….

The main dude asks the ghostly figure a lot of questions along the way, and early on in the game, the figure claims to be an angel sent to save him. The main protagonist learns later on, that this is not true, the figure admits that that was a lie, but insists he is there to help. Little by little, the protagonist realizes that he's very much awake, and rather than leading him to rescue, his "guardian angel" is trying to lead him to his doom. Why? I'm going to save THAT for you to find out.

If you're curious about the gameplay, it's similar to Cave Story, but not a clone. Kinda like a cross between that and Experimental, my last contest game. It will be better than that though, I do have a whole week to work on my entry this time. ;)

Hopefully that gives you a good idea of my entry.
