The LeftRight Game
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a short game based on the Urban Legend "The Left Right Game". (link below) In this urban legend, it is said that if you follow a simple set of rules while driving, you can enter another world entirely. What are those rules, simply turn left at your first turn, then right at the next, then left again at the next turn, then right, and so on. It's important to note that in this game, EVERY intersection counts as a possible turn. So even if you're faced with the choice of turning left, or going straight, going straight would count as a RIGHT turn. Prepare to face insanity in The LeftRight Game.
Below are link to the original legend on Reddit and a podcast retelling by QCODE . It's an amazing story and worth a listen! This game was just a fun idea I had for a game jam. I just wanted to see what it would be like to attempt a game like this. There are a lot of glitches and rough patches. My goal was not to make a perfect game, but to learn a few new skills as I worked on a fun project, which is what a game jam is all about right?
To anyone who plays, sorry for any confusing parts in the story or gameplay and for any glitches you will probably come across. I told myself I would stop working on this once the game jam was over, so I wasn't able to do much polishing. But I hope you have a fun time exploring the world of The Left Right Game! Feel free to leave any feedback for things you liked or things you would like to see in a polished game of this same story.

i love that story too, good game
Thanks! Glad you liked it.
Cant even get into the car. no indication about controls. Had to delete
Decided to give this a go because I loved the idea behind it but I couldn't figure out where to go. I went Left -> Right -> Left -> Right but it just lead me off the map into the abyss. I tried again to the same result and ended up just exploring. Fun idea, just not sure where I went wrong.
Hey so sorry! Sounds like a weird glitch. I will probably be taking this down soon, and hope to upload a better version at some point. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
