ADDICT

JenitoStudios |

A mysterious letter from the beloved. A cursed box of abominations. A golden key to a locked door. . . These are the three secrets which await in each dark, dreadful nether of your mind as you pursue the answers to your troubled past. Why have you fallen into the labyrinthine tortures of your own soul? Who has written these letters? How can you escape? And what can you do to avoid the ever vigilant eye of the Watcher? ADDICT is a retro game from one-man studio Jenito Games which invites you to find the answers to these troubling questions as you play through nine exciting - and terrifying - levels in this unique platformer. Featuring old-school artwork, cutting edge sound and music, and enough imagery and symbolism to keep you munching for hours, ADDICT is a truly unique gaming experience that follows in the pattern of artistic indie games which not only entertain, but also challenge and provoke. So prepare to take mouse and keyboard in hand. . . the Watcher awaits!

Let me start by saying a huge thanks to everyone who has supported ADDICT! It has been a wonderful experience and I am so excited about the future of this project.

A lot of YouTube "Let's Play" channels have been giving first impressions of the game. I thought it would be good to list links to all such videos on YouTube right now, so here they are:

Sinuyan's Video: Youtube.com (he's got a good series going, check out the others he's posted as well)
Eclesion's Video: Youtube.com (in German)
DarkChiron's Video: Youtube.com
OldWorldGamer's Video: Youtube.com
Frankomatic's Video: Youtube.com
Sketchi's Video: Youtube.com

Honestly, I have been amazed at the number of players/commenters who have told me that the Watcher really freaked them out. I thought it was scary when I made the game, but I also have always felt that I scare relatively easily. Apparently, others share my dread for the Watcher! ;)

As for the future of the game, I'm far from done with where I would eventually like to see it. I've had several ideas given to me already, along with some things I would like to add. Please comment or contact me directly and let me know what you think. Also, if you haven't picked up a copy. . .

Please consider doing so! Every purchase helps invigorate me even more, and $1.99 is reasonable, I think. It couldn't hurt morale to sell a few hundred copies :) Hopefully the first update will be out very soon. . . I am tentatively pushing for Friday, March 8th - that's right, just one week after initial release!

Thanks again everyone!
