The Locust
A downloadable game for Windows, Linux, and Android
“The Locust” is the name commonly given to a strange figure that appears through screens and electronic devices. Most reported sightings only seem to happen through televisions, cameras, monitors or recordings, before suddenly disappearing again. Images and videos involving the creature have circulated online for years, though very little is actually known about where they originated from or whether any of the reports are real.
However, it is now up to you to deal with that thing after discovering an abandoned underground facility beneath a building. Explore the underground facility, restore the power and uncover what is hidden beneath the building while trying to survive your encounter with The Locust. But be careful, The Locust is highly sensitive to nearby sounds, especially if they are too close or loud, so make sure to move quietly.

Bro
what is that?
Hello! I just beat your game on 100%! I got all 3 stars for Easy, Normal, and Hard in version 0.1.2. The most insane thing is that during my successful Hard run, The Locust NEVER agroed on me even once! I completed the Hardest mode with zero alerts. Great game, thank you!
Hello, congratulatios for completing the game on 100%, and even beating the hard mode without any alert, that's an impressive achievement. Thank you very much for playing
Could you make an iPhone version of *The Locust* and *The Boiled One*? Or does the game's code not allow for that? I downloaded the game on Android, but it would launch and then freeze—possibly due to a lack of memory, insufficient processing power, or processor architecture issues. So, I had to play on PC, but then I thought about my iPhone and realized there isn't a version for it. Thanks for the well-wishes, and congratulations to you on two successful and interesting projects! If the code allows it, please make the games available for iPhone! I really enjoyed playing them—thank you!
How sad is that you couldn't play it on your phone, but thank you very much for playing anyway, now abaout uploading it for Iphone, it's not actually that the code doesn't allow it, the thing is that to upload an app on the appstore, you have to pay yearly, and I am not gonna do that at least for now, and also, on Iphone you can't download apks, however in a future I'm aiming to upload it officially on google play, and maybe in a future on apple. I'm glad you liked my games, thank you!
What I meant was just building the app into a .ipa file
Oh, sorry I wasn't aware, however as I investigated, I am not able to export into an .ipa if I don't have mac, so I think it's still being something I cant do right now
While I'm generally not a fan of Granny style games, I have to admit that the use of seeds for speedrunning, the overall layout of the map, and the monster's design are extremely well made. Great work!
Thank you for playing and giving it a chance despite of not being a fan of this kind of games
