American Eristics Demo
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
"Would you believe one of your friends is a killer? "
Andrea and Mandy return to their hometown after 4 years away at college. Reuniting with old friends and fellow survivors of a tragic party night in Lakefield. A night that created and killed the Lakefield Slasher known to the press as Zombie. Now tormented by a stranger who knows what only the original Zombie could, Andrea and her friends have to come to terms that the killer might still be alive.
Reconnecting with old friends is scary. They know so much and so little about you at the same time. Are they going to like the person you’ve become now? Can they afford to hold years of not communicating against each other while a killer is on the loose?
The world labeled him Zombie, but some of Andrea's friends remembered him as Trip Vargus. It started how they always do. A romance gone wrong, a party at an abandoned farm, and a one way ticket for a bad trip. Partying at moon rock farm was a recipe for disaster.
Explore key locations in Lakefield. Get chased by the slasher, Zombie. Fight back using pallets, slamming doors, blinding with your flashlight, and out maneuver the killer with slides and vaults. The game transitions between key locations and character perspectives with pixelated comic styled cutscenes.
Demo Controls :
Working on adding a Zombie's POV gamemode to the demo. In it take control of the Lakefield slasher and prevent the survivors from completing procedural objectives. Here's some WIP gameplay of it :

Can't Wait for full game
Good demo! I like the story & love the art style. I'm curious about the next story. Looking forward to your next project... :)
I can't talk to the cashier. maybe it's because of the old version.
Bring an android version please
The game really reminds me of Dead By Daylight if it was in Parappa the Rappa art style. really nice. Keep it up man.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont
Nice playthrough! I appreciate the kind words. I'll work on Killer line of sight soon, so you can have some stealth options.
Had a lot of fun playing it, but I couldn't interact with the Burger Eleven guy no matter what I did or pressed.
Darn I thought I fixed that last night. Thanks for playing. Was this on the V5 download?
yes, it was on the v5 download.
Thank you for letting me know! I'll keep trying to find a fix.
Only Linux???
My mistake. I was uploading a patch and Itch overwrote the previous windows build while uploading. Should be up now!
Thank you
Great demo, hope the Store Clerk interaction bug can be fixed. really looking forward to the full game!!
Hey thank you for playing! Glad you still enjoyed my demo despite the bug. Uploading a patch now to attempt addressing that issue.
iam looking forward for the full game. i enjoyed what i played in the demo
Thank you!
like it but think need fix
Thank you for playing! I'll update it with an interact icon for characters you can talk to. E on the keyboard or X on the controller will let you speak with the Burger Eleven clerk. R on the keyboard reloads the level and 1-5 switches between the demo scenes which I think is why the scene jumps happened in your video. I'll add the controls above to the itch page. I appreciate you taking some time out of your day to play my demo!
;D you game is cool .. i like retro spooky
