Locked in

"Locked In" Core Premise A survival game where players must literally earn their basic movement controls. You start trapped in your own body, able to only move backward, and must reclaim your freedom of movement piece by piece in a dangerous world.

The Core Mechanic: Progressive Movement Unlocking Starting Condition:

Player can ONLY move backward (S key)

Cannot move forward, left, or right

Character faces forward but moves in reverse

Key Collection System:

Scattered throughout each level are physical key objects labeled "W", "A", "D"

Collecting the "W" key permanently enables forward movement

Collecting the "A" key enables left strafing

Collecting the "D" key enables right strafing

Once collected, movement abilities persist through all levels

I had this idea since a long time and wanted to implement this in this game jam. But I completed it partially because the Cursor free trail got over for today. If I can get more time I would be happy to take this game further, thank you! The tutorials helped a lot. It took a lot of time to set it up.
