About Chrysalis Inc.

Chrysalis Inc. is a 2D 3D Horror Adventure Puzzle Side Scroller. Explore the abandoned toy factory, solve intricate puzzles and unveil the deep dark truth behind it.

Story:
Waking up in an abandoned toy factory, You realize something is not right. The area is filled with weird machinery and strange imagery. Slipping between the past and present, you need to puzzle your way through a crumbling toy factory filled with the remnants of its child workers and the grudges they bear.
As you delve into the depths of the factory, the layered truth will begin to unravel with each horrifying discovery. From the vicious robots left to rot, to the unexplainable residual power that grants time travel, not everything is what it seems. Maybe some truths are best left buried.

Features & Mechanics:

Dark, Depressing Irony:
They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. One act of goodwill for one person could cause the suffering of many. One child’s glee at receiving the latest toy overshadows the tiny, grimy hands that constructed it.

Explore a ruined factory:
Traverse through the vast yet lifeless factory, where your only company will hunt you down. With each new location, the story behind the factory's construction and creations will be revealed in fragmented pieces.

Unique Puzzles:
Through innovative puzzles, you will be able to change the past to affect the present. Use this ability well to help you solve the mystery.

This game is a student project developed over 9 months by 9 students in the Entertainment Arts and Engineering (EAE) Graduate Program at the University of Utah.

While student projects tend to be better quality than most "amateur" games, we must still question what value they have for gamers. This isn't a fully fleshed out game. It's the result of an academic exercise and has much more limited value than a professionally developed game. Educational institutions should not be using Steam as a dumping ground for homework assignments. It helps their marketing and makes students feel good, but it puts the business before the needs of gamers. The students made a basic, dark/horror themed 2D side scrolling puzzle adventure game... think Black the Fall, but much shorter and riddled with bugs. See, there's a common problem with student projects. It looks like a great game, but really, it's short, shallow, and full of bugs that will never be fixed because the students got their grades and moved on... this is abandoned and unmaintained. Why is this good for gamers? The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medi…
