EnHanced


A game I put onto Steam Greenlight, back when it was a thing, as a game just called "H".
I'd already finished H, which had taken two years and had moved on to working on a game I still wish to come back to, but years later I got an email that H had been accepted (presumably by votes trickling in over time) - so I decided to update and rework H into EnHanced.
That in itself took another 2 years.
There's not much else for me to say about it, it was a big part of my life for a while, and I was working on it when my mum died of cancer back in 2018, so my association with it is a bit complicated. That coupled with the total lack of response, weird curator interactions and people's main hang-ups being things I couldn't fix due to the engine I was using.

All I can say is I did my best with what I had to hand at the time, which was Photoshop and Multimedia Fusion 2.


Game Description:

After what must have been a wild party, Security Personnel H receives a rude awakening from an unfamiliar and facetious administrator called LARANK.
The self-professed VOICE of TRUTH informs H in a rather roundabout fashion that dangerous entities the facility was housing have escaped and are wreaking havoc.

Concerned for his family, his work, and because he can’t find anyone less unhinged to work with, H has to rely on Larank as he moves through the now-hostile base, searching for survivors and hanging onto the hope that his family are safe.
