DownSouth is a morality-driven Platformer/RPG. Play as South, a stimulant-fueled purple bean, and parkour, converse and fight your way through sprawling dystopian city-scapes. Each choice affects your abilities, dialogue, and even your appearance... Just know, SURVIVAL comes at a moral cost.
MORALITY & GAMEPLAY:
With high sanity, South is a brightly coloured speed-demon: fast and versatile with access to a wide array of dialogue options and movement fluidity... but he's fragile, vulnerable, easily manipulated, and poorly equipped to brute-force dangerous foes.
As South's 'Soul Points' degrade: His colours fade, fluidity falters, dialogue options disappear... What remains is a devoid, uncommunicative killing machine. Powerful, efficient, and increasingly detached from the world around him.
Using up to 5 dialogue options, you'll constantly weigh empathy against self preservation, deciding whether other lives matter more than your own survival.
