Teasing

After an evening of engagement ending in a failure and an argument, your character's car breaks down in the middle of the night, near a large cornfield.
When you wake up, you discover that you're caught in a mystical labyrinth, that of the Eternal Fields of Azaka, the voodoo god of harvest and thunder.
Here end up those who are lost in their life.
And the only way to get out is to find what you truly are looking for...

Contains 4 mini-games

💀Hoodoo Voodoo Blues Returner's Party - Samedi Madness : a bluesy pokemon-like roguelite
⚽Seliana's Fit : a reflex-game, tribute to California Games juggling game
🏎️Guédé Grand Heist : a car game with obstacles
⚔️Soul War : a puzzle-game, tribute to falsely advertised games on Youtube
