Nurtured Apathy Vertical Slice

Nurtured Apathy is a side view Puzzle Platformer that focuses on tight controls and unique movement mechanics to offer challenging and creative levels for the player to explore and triumph over.

The main mechanic of the game is based around the concept of emotion pickup powers.

A one time use pickups that represent an ability that the player would be able to use once after picking said ability up.

Abilities are collected with a FILO (first in last out) order, this means that by careful planning the player can chain powers to get interesting results.

Controls: Require Controller (controls use Xbox controller naming scheme but would work with correlating buttons in other controllers)
