Softlocked

You are Miles. You were playing a game. You are now in the game.

Unfortunately, nobody finished it.

SOFTLOCKED is a comedy bullet-hell RPG set inside an unfinished video game — missing textures, NPCs whose variables never got bound, a shopkeeper who only recently discovered "inventory," and a boss that has been loading since before you had a bedtime. Everything in here is doing its best. Please be nice to it... You don't have to be nice to it.

Features (allegedly):

• Bullet-hell battles inside sad little OS windows
• Every fight can be talked down, fled from*, or clicked to death — your call (*exit not implemented in all cases)
• A shop that now sells THINGS. Actual THINGS
• A bridge that exists but never rendered
• Four weapons, four armors, one deeply discouraged DLC purchase
• GOOD KARMA is tracked (unused)
• Two secrets

CONTROLS: Z — confirm · X — back · C — loadout · Arrows — move
The tutorial sign in-game is broken. This is the only honest tutorial you will receive.

This demo contains the Tutorial Zone and LEVEL 1: GREENFIELD. Level 2 is 0% loaded. Sound on recommended — the music is procedurally generated and one of the loops is slightly corrupted on purpose.
