A Puzzle Game About Failure

A puzzle platformer about turning failure into progress, inspired by the developer's struggles with cycles of manic highs and depressive lows.

You’re trapped inside a dream-like dimension, with no clear way out.

She wants to guide you forward.
But, the path ahead is full of deadly traps… and your only real ability? To fail.

Fortunately for you, there are mysterious orbs that let you leave a fragment of yourself behind. What remains will become barriers against hazards or platforms paving your way forward.

Fail and fail again, until you succeed. Persistence and clever thinking is the only way out of this place.

Demo Features

This demo is a condensed preview version of the full game. It contains all of the same core features; just a lot fewer levels, a smaller lobby, minimal narrative, and no ending.

Background

Originally conceived while a student, Fail Fail Succeed grew from feelings of being stuck in a cycle of manic highs and hard crashes. The mechanics were designed as metaphors for those struggles: failure as an inevitable outcome, but traces of progress being left behind. In a bleak world of exhausting repetition, small comforts in the companionship of a loyal pup often became a guiding light.

Fail Fail Succeed is developed by a single developer. What began as a small weekend project, slowly grew after positive feedback, was further developed for GGC and SGA, and is now finally coming to Steam for everyone to play!
