About the Game

Astral Lodge is a short but sweet 2D point-and-click room escape game in the spirit of early 2000s Flash games. Explore a surreal, dreamlike environment rendered entirely with hand-drawn assets and painted backgrounds.

Set across seven fixed camera views of a single strange room, Astral Lodge invites players to solve 3–4 environmental puzzles using object interactions and visual clues. Your skeletal cursor glows green over interactive elements, and a visible inventory at the bottom of the screen allows you to use items you collect directly in the scene. 

There are no save states, menus, or customization options—just a linear, ambient, and slightly eerie point-and-click experience. Perfect for fans of obscure web-based games from the early internet, Astral Lodge delivers a singular mood in under 30 minutes.

The game runs in a fixed 1280x960 resolution and can be exited at any time by closing the window.
