About The Void

Platform: NES
Developer: LCM Games
Year: 2020
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

LCM Games' self-aware horror game: a voice in the dark says it knows you like video games and wants to make a new one with you.

It walks you through building a simple platformer, and things slowly turn surreal and unsettling. The developers describe it as much darker and more serious than their other games.

LCM Games released it to the public in May 2020, National Mental Health Month. It is free as a ROM and a browser version, though the developers recommend an emulator or flash cart.

How to play

Controls: The D-pad moves, A jumps. The other buttons are explained when the game needs them.
