A Night Alone
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
"A Night Alone" is a brief 2D horror-platformer where you need to rescue your cat. can you brave the terrors of the night to get you and your pet home safely? and if you're a true master... can you unlock and beat nightmare mode?!
the game has a retro aesthetic, featuring graphics with a 6-color palette and spooky chiptune music. i can recommend it to fans of horror games, platformer games, retro games, or people who just want a quick but thrilling experience.

This looks real neat! Unfortunately, downward screen transitions(?) seem to break the game for me, so couldn't play it. [Spoiler?] Going down the chimney and later going down a shaft(?) left me with a black screen :(
ahh, unfortunately that sounds like a problem with the shaders. try using the method i mentioned to corvine17 down below and let me know if it helps!
Hi, I got stuck trying to play this game. At a certain point, my only path is down a pit which makes my screen turn black for about a minute before I respawn at the beginning of that section. I watched Rostiger Rentner's video, and in his game there is a higher path forward, but in my game it's just a big wall. The picture is the spot where there should be a path to the right.
hi corvine! i'm sorry to hear that. if you're only seeing black in that area, it's probably an issue with your graphics card. if you can let me know what graphics card you're using i'll be able to help you further!
AMD Radeon HD 6670
hello again! sorry for the delay. i think this will fix your problem: http://www.abvent.com/support/faq/1606-how-to-change-graphics-card-settings-to-use-your-dedicated-gpu-with-artlantis-on-windows-computer.html. you'd want to follow steps 1-4, and then 8-9. then, launch "A Night Alone". at the start screen you can move the joystick left and right/press A and D on the keyboard. if you do and you can still see the graphics, just in a different color, then it was successful. if it still doesn't work, then i'll make a special version of the game that should work for you and send that over.
Hi, thank you for trying to help, but I don't have the settings available that page asks you to change. You don't have to make a special version, I'll just try playing it on another computer. Have a nice day!
okey doke! you have a nice day too!
looks awesome! do you know a good .jar emulator that will play this?
hi supervillain! what are you trying to run the game on? if it's just on your PC then all you'll need to do is install java and run it
Neat art style and fun to play, nice stuff.
thank you very much! i'm glad you enjoyed
