The Museum of Human Curiosities

Play as the curator of an alien museum set in the future, who travels back by the space-time continuum – lassoing human relics of yesteryear for his museum. Made with Brainoid for the Megajam.

After winning the previous Epic Mega Jam, we decided to enter again – though it didn’t quite go to plan! We struggled to land on an idea, and our artist had a family emergency which meant they weren’t able to create any art for the game. Brainoid therefore ended up taking over the 3d modelling duties, which left us short of time to wrap up the game features nicely.

Whilst the game concept had some good ideas, the ideas were not fully baked and left the play experience pretty lack luster. The lasso mechanic was good, and the “hauling” mini game felt interesting too, but as a game loop I think it was too under baked to be enjoyable by a regular player.
