Penta-gone is a dialogue-based 2D side-scroller where the player must play through 5 different times with 5 different characters before reaching a definitive ending. Each play-through builds upon previous plays and influences the next.
I was inspired to create a game with a level of replayability and make it so the replays could be just as important as the first time a player explores this world.
