Synthon

Synthon features an encroaching darkness mechanic that limits your vision and a spell casting system where you punch in the right alchemical elements with your number keys. I hope you enjoy it!

I wrote the character controllers and spell casting / inventory system from scratch for this. The vision bubble shader, letter message, and music / sfx systems I wrote previously for another project and reused here. 

Character art by SAS and a few small things by me.
Environment tiles, pixel art, and all the particlesfrom free assets on the Unity asset store. Music from opengameart.org [1,2,3,4,5], and SFX from freesound.org, lightly edited by me.
