Call of Fern

This is my submission for Jame Gam #32.

Lore

Fern flower, flower of happiness, kochedizhnik — in Eastern Slavic mythology, a rare magical flower that gives a person magical abilities to find wealth, ensures prosperity and success. According to belief, this flower appears only on Kupala night, and only a young man can find it.

Main character named Gric, went to the deep forest on Ivana Kupala night, in order to find (or not?) his fortune. But, the things are going not too easy. He finds out that he is not the first man tonight, who wants to find that magical fern. And also, he needs to stay sane and be on the pathway mostly, to not be taken by the Forest Mavkas.

Developer Notes

Well, didn't manage to find teammates for this jam. And the topic is hard for me as I'm not good at folklore, etc. Wasted first 2 days thinking about what to make, unfortunately. But then this idea came up and it is very interesting for me, but was to late to think about different mechanics like real enemies, shooting, etc.
