The Stench, is a 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania type game. In the basement of the 20 story apartment block you live at, both a sewage pipe and gas pipe have simultaneously burst, knocking out the power and phone lines, and flooding the building with a non-toxic yet horrible smelling cloud of fumes. A single minute of exposure, and you will pass out from shock. You happened to be on the roof at the time, tending to your flock of carrier pigeons, but you now have to somehow descend all 20 floors and escape through the lobby, so you can use the payphone outside to call the CDC. In order to make it down the building, you need to use the environment to your advantage. Curtains, Sheets, Clothes, and other fabrics can be used to make temporary face masks, giving you a small amount of breathing time through the Stench. Raiding fridges can allow you to get Citrus Fruits, that can strengthen face masks, or themselves be smushed into your face to block the stench. should you find an apartment with a fan and unlocked window, you can open and turn them on respectively, to clear out the stench from that one room only, giving you time to 'catch your breath'. Air Fresheners can be looted from bathrooms, and temporarily clear out the Stench from rooms, but have a limited number of uses. Rarely, you can find a gask mask, giving you a good few minutes of breathing time before it to breaks down from the utter repulsiveness of the stench. can you make it down all twenty floors? or will you pass out like the rest of the tenants? In the end, will you be claimed by The Stench?

Imperception is a 2D Sidescrolling (Not)Endless Runner, where the player plays a person trying to get from their office to their apartment on foot, all while trying to keep control of your headache. The player, once setting off, is able to change their speed to either walking/running depending on environmental changes. What environmental changes? The ones you start hallucinating if you don't keep taking painkillers for your headache. If you allow your headache to increase, your screen will start to go blurry around the edges, ingame signage will start to shift, and eventually you will start getting chased by Mental Representations of pain and suffering. To everyone else, it looks like your going insane. So make sure you grab some painkillers from Convince stores and Pharmacy's whenever you pass by them. You pay with coins you pick up along the way down the street, so make sure to be smart with your money. Once you have travelled 10,000 meters, you finally get to your apartment, and can take your special Headache Pills. Or at least you thing they are Headache Pills. Its just Another Imperception.
