Ex-cop Joan Anderson sees a report on the news about a takeover at the Cervus Institute, and notices her once best friend Carol with the hostages. Joan knows she has to save her, but after years of brutal approaches to justice, she has abandoned the use of violence. But perhaps, she won't need it.

  

A game made for the Game Boy Showdown 2023 Game Jam!  Made in GB Studio, this isn't just my first GB Studio game, its the first game I ever finished! Getting this all done in a week and learning GB Studio as I do so, having to cut a lot for time or because it just wasn't viable... its been tough, but I made it over the finish line!

Not sure how I'm supposed to get past this section, unless I'm missing something? I can't get anywhere near the turret without dying!

That tile up north is out of range of the turret, but close enough to chase the guy away. When the guy is gone, it's safe to go under the turret.

This works if I reload and continue from the checkpoint, but if I die in this room then the trigger for the guard running away in the upper part of the corridor seems to stop working:

Ah, I see. Not sure how that happened, but I'll look into patching it when the voting period is over, thank you!
