🕹️ Gameplay Snapshot
MakeMeLaugh_Exe is a game set on an old Windows-style interface. You have multiple folders on your desktop and can explore them — some are locked, others accessible.
You’ll quickly meet the clown, a virus taking over your system. To protect your Windows32 file, you’ll need to satisfy his requests.
You’ll search through folders, open images to find numbers, enter codes, and drag and drop files to complete each task.
It’s a narrative scripted game, and you can lose if you don’t complete the tasks quickly enough.
Losing means restarting the game to continue further.

🛠️ My Contribution
- Game Design (Wrote the narrative script, defined the clown’s dialogue and objectives, designed the different requests, and set up win/lose conditions)
- Art (Created most (if not all) of the game’s assets using Paint3D)
💡 Lesson Learned
I learned how to build a quick narrative-driven game with win and lose conditions. I also learned how to multitask between design, art, and even sound implementation. It was a short but intense 48-hour project, and I’m really happy with the lessons I took from it.
