The 5 Gentlebones
A downloadable spooky game for Windows
Welcome to Gentletown. Home to concerts from the famous group "The 5 Gentlebones". But it's members are a pain in the butt for the inhabitants. Teach them manners by throwing them pumpkins in this spooky and goofy open-world first person game.
Game content
This is short experience where the aim is to create a specific atmosphere. In this game you have to beat 5 skeletons that are hidden in the town. Each game, each of the 5 skeleton is given one of it's 3 possible position so it's up to you to do your best to find them. At the end of the game a completion time is given.
You can also enjoy three mini-games. Minigolfing, a concert and secrets finding.
- The minigolfing is 5 tiny courses where you can move the balls by shooting pumpkins at them or walking on it. It's a bit rough-edged and there's no score. But you might get confettis!
- In the concert you take controls of each 5 of the Gentlebones, there's 5 keys, each one playing notes. Play the music you deserve but not the music you like...
- Secrets finding is simple. There's 5 small sprites hidden in Gentletown, shoot them!
You might want to play with audio and it's even better with headsets, as some audio in the game gives clues on how to find the skeletons. It's not a necessity though, it's harder but deaf friends can still enjoy the game with no audio :)
There are no options in the game, no resolution support or controls remapping, I'm sorry. For audio, keep in mind that the song in the title screen is the loudest thing in the game, so please do configure your computer audio around that.
The game is available in English and French.
Game Jam
This game is the product of an unofficial game jam with friends on a French forum "Guerre des Consoles". So please keep in mind that this was entirely made in 22 days.
The theme of the jam was "Halloween et les spooky skeletons", a last minute finding because we had none, but it inspired me to do a ˢᵖᵒᵒᵏʸ but funny game with monsters and lot of orange/purple things.
There was very little play-test and optimisation, so please send me a message if you find glitches or if the game runs poorly on your computer, I'll be glad to fix that post-jam!
Controls
The game controls are all described in the game but here's a reminder :
- WASD keys to move (or ZQSD if you choose French)
- Left mouse click to throw a pumpkin
- Space to jump
- Shift to run
- F is a contextual key, generally to interact with a door or for menus
- Escape is meant to exit the game, press it twice to close the game
Gamepad is not recommended, it might work a bit but the game has not been coded to handle gamepads, sorry.

Huge thanks to you for reading the description and playing the game! It's my first full fledged 3D game and had a ton of fun making it. If there is anything you wan't to ask or say to me, please do leave a comment :)
