Inky Meets BalamutE

Links

I decided to share a cutscene I made for my game, Inky's Sleep, a surreal 2D horror adventure.

For a bit of context, the main character is a house cat named Inky. As he falls asleep, he finds himself in a strange and surreal dream filled with terrifying creatures made of black, slimy goo. They begin hunting him, but one of them is interrupted by Balamut, a bizarre creature resembling a gorilla with a cat's head.

Balamut tries to explain that Inky needs to find three artifacts so that Balamut can perform a ritual to cleanse the dream of an evil force that has somehow found its way inside.

Balamut's voice was recorded by me. The characters' speech is intentionally strange and difficult to understand.

Software used: Flash, Photoshop, Unity, FL Studio, and Premiere Pro.

AI was used in development, just not for this cutscene (details are on the Steam page).
