No Way Out

No Way Out is a short real-time point-and-click adventure game made for the Ludum Dare 28 competition with the theme You Only Get One. The player's character starts in a boarded up room with zombies outside, hammering on the door. Three minutes are provided to finish the game and reach the good ending. Two actions are available to inspect or interact with the environment. It is possible to pick up items and store them in an inventory where they can be used to solve puzzles. The game relies on tension and panic as time counts down, with a faster heartbeat sound and messages appearing on the screen. The competition theme is referenced through the only bullet available for the character's pistol.
