A downloadable creepypasta game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

A PC enhancement recreation of the urban legend and obscure Gameboy video game misfortune.gb. Here is the Creepypasta Wiki about the original game.

Description of the game:

Since no known hard copies or ROMs exist, all information about the game is derived from personal accounts and a scant assemblage of screenshots. The game does not contain any credits and its creator is unknown, realized that game is still incomplete. Originally a creepypasta, it has developed into an urban legend due to the emergence of "evidence" of the game's existence. It supposedly is a demonic game that is hidden within other games including Pokémon. However, several audiences including the author Creepypasta given as cult following among rare horror video game enthusiasts.

Premises:

An unnamed human child got lost in the desert, so he walked until he found this ancient temple and later trapped inside. The unknown demonic entity appears, named The Spirit of Misfortune, must follow to reach through the deathly stages.

Features:

  • 35 additional dungeons were added from the GBA version instead of 15 previously dungeons from two RPG Maker.
  • There is forced save/load system including chase scenes.
  • There's a secret ending for easter egg (Previously from DX about buried alive) only.
  • Faceset is no longer used from ProfessorC's MV game, switch to GB style text. 
  • The devil fading character appears instead of previously walking from RPG Makers
  • Add many traps and pit drops in each dungeon
  • Add chase scenes. It can be heavily implied from the original ROMs description.

Note: I recreate both the Advance and MV editions because something is missing about the MV edition including game over function and missing dungeon. I did combine both into new with traps and invisible walls

Remake:

Some previously remakes were made including:

Content Warning:

The game is rated 13+ and it contains some language, unsettling images, and chase scenes.

Note: If you get too frustrated about the game, please download the hint.

Comments from the remakes:

Misfortune Advance:

The Creature that calls itself Satan looks like A Demonic Bee and this Game looks like A really cheap Horror Game version of Pokemon

Misfortune DX (RPG Maker VX):

I mean, it follows the creepypasta and it's pretty original. I could say it's ok to be honest. What i didn't like is that it seems like a fake game, the colors and the speech bubbles seem like an RPG maker game (it is) just make it better. It's ok, 6.5/10.
