A downloadable game for Windows

Bizarre Plunger Crusade

This was my very first original game project! It started as a class assignment where we were supposed to create a single level, but our team of 4 decided to go a step further and build a full stand-alone game in about 3 months.

The Premise: A comedy-horror adventure where you play as a plumber sent to exorcise a possessed toilet… with nothing but your trusty plunger.

This project will always be special to me because it was the first game I ever shipped. We learned a lot and had plenty of late nights. We turned what was a simple assignment into something that makes people laugh which is all I can ask for.

Our scope was a little ambitious. We originally planned for more areas (like a full kitchen), but in the end we reworked the events so the game still flows smoothly without it. Honestly, the cut ended up making the whole experience tighter.

Features

  • A possessed toilet that won’t stop hurling terrible puns at you.
  • Explore a creepy house filled with surprises and sudden changes.
  • Voice acting that adds comedy to the horror.

How To Play

  • Move with WASD and use your plunger to exorcise the haunted house.
  •  F = Toggle flashlight
  • Explore carefully. If you feel stuck, revisit places you’ve already been… something might have changed.
  • To exit the game you’ll need to Alt+Tab or Alt+F4 out (sorry, first-project oversight!)

Story

When plumber Lila picked up a late-night call about a busted sink, she expected nothing more than a routine job. But when she arrived at the house, things felt… off. Every door was locked, and she would need to track down keys one by one just to reach the bathroom.

At first, it seemed simple enough. A busted sink, a quick fix, job done. But the moment she tightened the last pipe, the lights went out. Then came the voice...

Comedy and horror collide in a short, strange journey where the final boss… is porcelain.

A very nice short funny horror game. Playtime ~10 minutes.

My playthrough:

(SPOILERS BELOW)

My thoughts on the game:

  • Pretty funny, great job!
  • Looks great and runs great!
  • The file size is a little high- 3GB for such a short game is quite a surprise.
  • I wish it was easier to find keys - I sometimes spent countless minutes searching for them.
  • It's unclear whether a door is locked and you need to find a key for it (I almost gave up on the game because I didn't know I had to find a key and thought it was bugged).
  • It's quite ironic how calm the main character is after hearing such noises xD
  • Why is everything so bloody? O.o
  • I really liked the attention to detail.

Overall, great horror game! I loved every bit of it.

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! 

It took us about 3 months to make it and believe it or not we had to cut some things (like the kitchen) to keep it in the polished state that it is in.

It’s funny that you said it is bloody because that never registered with me, I always thought our artists just made things really dirty, but I can totally see why it looks bloody now.

Anyway, again, thanks for playing it! And thanks for the feedback!
