A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Made for B&W Jam!

Discription: 

"Mr. Higgs & The Existential Crisis" is a smal black-and-white visual novel-like or interactive fiction-like indie game with platformer elements.


Plot: 

While having an existential crisis protagonist Mr. Higgs wakes up inside his mind. Now he needs to find his inner peace with the help of his new 'friend'.


Controls:

AD or right/left arrows to move. A few objects in the game can be interacted with by using left mouse button.


Background:

A long time ago, I began to consider games not just as a pastime, but as a whole unique experience from which you can get aesthetic pleasure. "Mr. Higgs .." doesn't contain many game elements. The main emphasis is on characters, visualization, atmosphere, music and so on, so that the player can both feel this world and enjoy it.

As you might guess, this game is about the personal experience of dealing with depression and existential crisis. Each mini-challenge in the game is a visualization or reference to the pressing problems of depression that I had to go through. I managed to overcome many obstacles and difficulties on my way, and if you are still going down this path, then I very much hope that the story of Mr. Higgs will somehow help you and you will feel much better.

I really like this game! As you said it's about depression and when playing the game this theme is good implemented! For around 5 days this is really impressive! Thank you!

Thanks that at least one game is for 32 bit!

I have struggled a bit with the cubes at the sides, because I thought I can jump above them!

Thanks for the Linux port! I've recently created a YouTube channel for the purpose of showing games those run natively on Linux and I picked your game too. :)

Thank you so much for playing!
