Description

Plead with the Mountain God is a somber dark fantasy/horror-themed platformer made for the Haunted PS1 Summer of Screams Jam.

Survive the perilous climb and plead with the mountain god to resurrect your beloved.

Features:

  • Climb the ancient towers built to reach an age-old god.
  • Collect "hearts", the essence of those that came before you, in an effort to appease the god.
  • Talk to people who have decided to stay at the mountain.
  • Pray for the mountain god's favor and receive his gifts.

The game was made with a Playstation controller in mind, but supports both PS4 and Xbox One controllers. Xbox 360 (and other similar) controllers will also most likely work.
Mouse and keyboard are also supported (but there are no rebindable keys, unfortunately).

The game doesn't have any saving, so exiting the game (or going back to the main menu) will reset everything. An average playthrough should take around 30-60 minutes, maybe slightly more if you explore the whole map.

You can check both controller and keyboard controls in the options menu.
Here is a list of the (Playstation) controls and what they correspond to on a keyboard:

Left Stick/D-Pad
