BAYONET - Demo

A USW  Games Design project I worked on, that I'm releasing for fun.

The game itself is largely unfinished, I will admit to this, with plans to work on it in the future, project is currently on hold but you are welcome to playtest

Bundled with the game is the actual GDD (Games-Design-Document) I created that acted as a blueprint for the project, posted for those curious about the process and it's original/future goals.

This doc has some links to more lore tid-bits and some hints about the wider setting. It is very ramshackle, but may be a good case study for those also interested in how GDDs are made/used. It also provides input into design decisions, and features which were never implemented.

During the long trek of Napoleon's march across the frozen Alps, ancient powers beyond space have woken yet again. Forces which once haunted the ancient Celtic forces here have sprung up again, and Napoleon now faces an endless tide of screaming, hungry corpses.

 Separated from your squad, your main task is to reconvene with Napoleon and the rest of his army, but trailing in the wake of destruction... You cannot help but wonder...
Will he still be the same man you once knew? Or will he be consumed by this apocalypse in his own way?
