OCDungeon

About the Game

This is a retro pixel-art first-person shooter with a surreal twist.

You play as a demon suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder. Your compulsion is simple, absolute, and unavoidable: whenever you see a sink, you must wash your hands.

The game enforces this obsession mechanically. When a sink enters your view, your movement and field of view are constrained, forcing your attention toward it. Resistance is not an option—only compliance.

Enemies & Themes

The enemies you face are manifestations inspired by OCD-related anxieties and patterns rather than traditional monsters:

• Locks that demand order and completion

• Tetris-like screens with blocked or incomplete spaces

• Stacks of fragile cups, threatening collapse if disturbed

Combat is fast and chaotic, contrasting with the rigid, compulsive rules imposed on the player.

Style & Origins

• Low-resolution pixel art inspired by classic 90s shooters

• Intentionally rough, experimental design, created under extreme time pressure

• Developed in 48 hours during Global Game Jam 2016

This game is not a realistic depiction of OCD, but a mechanical metaphor—using gameplay constraints to explore loss of control, fixation, and forced behavior in an abstract, exaggerated way.

What to Expect

• Short, intense gameplay

• Unusual mechanics that override player agency

• Retro visuals and sound

If you enjoy experimental jam games, retro FPS aesthetics, or mechanics that challenge player expectations, this one is for you.
