Objectophobia

Global game jam game 2024

Dive into the eerie, fog-enshrouded cityscape of "Objectophobia," a wave-based co-op first-person shooter that blurs the lines between humor and horror. In a world where the mundane becomes malevolent, players find themselves in a dark city where any object can morph into a menacing enemy. Designed with a twist on the traditional FPS genre, this game was born from a game jam with the theme "make me laugh." However, as development progressed, the comedic elements took a spine-chilling turn, transforming everyday items into foes that are as bizarre as they are terrifying.

As night falls over the city, players must band together to face relentless waves of adversaries, reminiscent of the intense, survival-focused gameplay of "Killing Floor." Without a trader to supply you, the battlefield is scattered with loot boxes, a twist of fate's own design. These boxes, unlockable with the currency dropped by your peculiar foes, are your only lifeline, offering weapons, ammo, and perhaps a fleeting chuckle at the absurdity of your situation.

"Objectophobia" challenges players to stand united, leveraging online co-op functionality. While intended to connect players in their fight against the animated inanimate, be warned: the online experience may be as unpredictable as the objects that haunt the city's foggy streets.

Prepare for a game where laughter can turn to screams, and trust in the familiar is your greatest folly. Will you survive the night, or will the objects of your amusement become the objects of your demise?
