The Spectrum Soup

Description

Is an immersive, narrative-driven experience that explores Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through the lens of an adult autistic perspective. Players collect symbolic "ingredients" representing autistic traits, weaving them into a cohesive final room that reflects personal experiences. Designed with empathy, the game emphasizes understanding and acceptance, aligning with Autism Acceptance Month in April. Built entirely from scratch using the Godot Engine, it features a noir-inspired low-poly art style crafted in Blender, paired with royalty-free visuals from Pexels and soundscapes sourced from Freesound and Zapsplat. Compatible with Windows, Linux, and Chrome/Firefox web versions (desktop only), it offers intuitive controls: W, A, S, D for movement; Shift for running; Alt+Enter for full-screen; and E/F for action and dialogue. Developed in 72 hours by a solo creator, this indie gem blends art, music, and storytelling to foster awareness and connection. A unique, thought.
