Bad Maps
A map is only as good as the people who make it. You are a band of knights, sent on a quest by your wise and benevolent king, but your map, such as it is, is cheap and poorly made, incomprehensible and vaguely sticky. Without the person who made it, you brave knights must make your way into the world to complete your quest and save the day. You play as both a group of knights and as mapmakers, drawing landmarks on the map at the same time as you explore the world. Created for Mapmounde game jam 2019.
