The Scavanger

The Scavanger is a short 2D exploration game made in Godot — created as part of an English class project. You play as a man who has been mysteriously teleported into a forest crawling with slimes. Your goal: collect three potions hidden throughout the area and escape.

📚 Project Purpose

This game was created for an English school project, blending narrative writing with basic game design to tell a small interactive story.

🌲 Story

You wake up in a strange, slime-infested forest with no idea how you got there. There’s no combat, no puzzles — just exploration and survival. Find three potions and get out... before the slimes get you.
