Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was a U.S. Marine veteran who assassinated John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, on November 22, 1963.

In this game, you follow several important stages in this man's life - right up to the day he committed the assassination.

No team this time. I went solo for this Jam and did all the artwork and development by myself. For the soundFX and ambient noises please see the Credits section below.

Had to cut out some points from my original game concept, due to time constrains. The 2nd part of Chapter 2 is missing, as well as Chapter 3. Game fills these parts with some narratives  and allows you to finish all the other parts as well as the final chapter.

How to play

There are in-game tutorials for each chapter of the game.

Credits

For soundFX and ambient noises I was using and post-processing several free-to-use assets from

https://freesound.org/

In particular these ones:

    https://freesound.org/people/EFlexMusic/sounds/398348/

    https://freesound.org/people/abrahemp/sounds/547906/

    https://freesound.org/people/Nmb910/sounds/193911/

    https://freesound.org/search/?q=shooting+range

    https://freesound.org/people/greysound/sounds/547948/

Other than the sound assets, the game is entirely hand-crafted with ♥ and passion. The art is hand-drawn and all the coding was done without framework, utilizing the full potential of the webtech stack (native HTML, CSS and JavaScript, a little bit of canvas).

Shoutout

I want to give a shoutout to OSG who was streaming our Jam games after HAGJ ended. Big thanks for the uplifting  comments, suggestions and ideas! He is doing a great job and has some excellent narrative voice skills!
