Description

Overcome is a 2D action platformer in which you beat your inner demons without attacking them. It displays how grief changes a person's perception of the world around them.

History

Overcome was made to be an expression to the developer's personal experience with fighting cancer and coping with the mental stresses of going through treatment while at the same time attending college for a CS degree, going through a hard breakup later, and wanting to develop games as a profession. It is the first game made by the developer and was developed in a 6 month timeframe.
