Destroy the Source
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
You are an Unturned, immune to infectious zombie bites, and the only remaining member of an expedition to destroy the infection's Source. Will you be able to complete the mission?
A point and click adventure game in the style of the MacVenture series (Shadowgate, Deja Vu, Uninvited). Primarily mouse-controlled, although there are a few keyboard shortcuts.
Controls:
- Left mouse: select item / drag (drop on another item to USE ON)
- Right mouse: USE item or USE selected item on clicked item
- Middle mouse: GO to place under cursor
- Inventory view
- Top half is your inventory, bottom half is the currently opened container
- SELF represents yourself - you can interact with this like any other item
- Menu in the lower left
- Menu: Bring up the game menu (save/load/new/quit/etc.)
- Map: Nothing (unimplemented
- Back: Move back to a room behind your view
- Shortcuts
- F1: Toggle help display in upper-right
- F6: Quick save
- F9: Quick load
- F12: Quick new game
Version 0.0.2 was submitted after the deadline but fixes these bugs from Version 0.0.1:
- If you save/load (or die/continue), a critical item in the game will disappear, so unfortunately you have to do it all in one go. But it's pretty short.
- If you save/load (or die/continue), the music stops.
- Clicking "back" during a transition makes things go haywire (not fixed in 0.0.2, possibly in 0.0.3!)
The game is missing a lot of things, but chief among them are:
- Sound effects and custom music (I used songs from my royalty free library, and there are no sounds... shame on me as an audio guy)
- Large chunks of story (it might not make any sense)
- Interesting puzzles (a lot of things are just there)
- More subtle story delivery (it's a lot up-front)
The system should be relatively robust, but there may be bugs such as:
- Save/load causing weird things to happen.
- The inventory having "invisible" items.
- Items returning from nothingness.
- Mac and Linux versions are completely untested but should be fine.
Please let me know if you find any bugs like this! Thanks for playing.

Hey thanks for playing! Glad you were able to, well, "destroy the source." And that you played 0.0.2 and didn't find any extra typos. XD
it was interesting to play, although i didn't know what was up with that green gem (:
Thanks for playing! Yeah, I may not have made the connection for that crystal clear (does that count as a pun?). There are a handful of clues in the game about it, though. Glad you were at least able to get to that part.
