Hushwake – 2D Horror Kit for Godot 4

Play the free demo: lumiolab.itch.io/hushwake -- then make it yours.

Hushwake is a finished, playable 2D horror game you open in Godot 4 and turn into your own. Three demo nights show every system working.

1. The Road -- something follows you home. It only moves while you can't see it.
2. The Quiet Wood -- after the bell, make no sound. Last until dawn.
3. The House -- a doll that never stays where you leave it. Two keys, one door.

Five ways to hunt

Every creature can use any of them:

• Stalker -- moves only while she isn't looking. Turn and face it.
• Listener -- blind; goes where it heard her running, landing, opening doors. Sneak, or stand still and it walks past.
• Watcher -- walks a beat and goes to any light it sees. Blow out the candle and keep to the dark.
• Lurker -- always somewhere a little closer, never seen moving. Keep the candle lit.
• Dropper -- clings to the ceiling and drops on noise beneath it. Creep under.

Build nights without writing code

A night is a text map you draw in rows, plus one table: sky, weather, darkness, lamps, haunts, notes, spoken lines and scripted scares that fire as she passes a column. Change it, press play.

Her

• Walk, run, sneak, crouch, crawl under low rock, jump, ladders through floors
• Hide in wardrobes, stumps, coffins and barrels
• A candle that burns down and lights the world; candle shrines relight it and are where she wakes if caught
• Heartbeat, fear vignette and chase music as things get near

The night

• Darkness and tint, skies, moons, parallax backdrops, rain, fog and lightning
• Lamps that gutter out on cue, interiors on three floors, keys and locked doors
• A clock, and two goals: reach the exit, or last until dawn

Everything around it

• Title screen, choose a night, choose a heroine, pause menu with volume and controls, saves
