Fear Is Vigilance



"Justine: This asshole town! We truck hundreds of safety alarms over here for them, free, and they won't even take them? We're going to remind them why safety is important. Marcy: Like in Harville? Justine: ...Yes. You remember self defence training?"

Two young women are promoting safety on college campuses by handing out personal alarms. Unfortunately, when they first arrive, the college students don't want any. How to solve this problem? Why, show them just how dangerous the park can be at night ... personally. FEAR IS VIGILANCE!

Created for Ludum Dare by randomnine, the game can be found here.
