So, I was looking around the net for simple open-source 2D games to see how they could be implemented in OpenGL, and found this one game called Fiend. So, I figured I'd share with you all. 
The game isn't anything special at a first glance - the 2D overhead view is rather outdated nowadays, and some of the typos and grammatical errors in the story detract a little bit. (Though since the programmers are from Sweden, you gotta hand it to them - the story is pretty cool.)
But... Despite its simplicity the game is creepy. The sound effects, though obviously homebrewed, are good, and some of the textures are cool.
All in all, a great game to waste an hour of your life on, especially since it is free. (Or you could waste even more time on it if you like playing around with code, although the Allegro libraries used are a bit dated.)
Post here what you think about the game, and maybe some additional levels if you want to create some - the map editor is fairly comprehensive.

It crashed on my system...
Sorry, Static.
