This story is a tribute to board games and video games where you have to explore a creepy mansion to find a way to avoid a horrific death.
Description of the Work
Sweaty, Sweaty is basically location crawl. The player is chased into the grounds of an old manor by a creature that can track by smelling sweat. Unfortunately, every move makes the player more sweaty. To survive, they must find ways to cool down, clean up, and, ultimately, escape or defeat the monster.
How the Work Relates to the Theme
It’s nothing too complicated. You sweat too much, the monster finds you and you die.
