Is Simon There?

Is Simon There? is coming soon! (Steam Page now available). And to celebrate, lets pop some discounts on all my games!

Yes, Within Skerry literally just came out. Funny thing is, during the development of Within Skerry I had a wild idea I wanted to bring to light (Is Simon There?), so I began to slowly develop that game at the same time as Within Skerry.

Is Simon There? will be a fairly small game (Small map in comparison to Within Skerry) running at approximately 40-45min. Is Simon There? will also have much fewer puzzles and interactions than Within Skerry. The main focus with Is Simon There? is atmosphere and engulfing the player into the experience that the game will offer. Of course, there still will be puzzles and interactions - just not as many as Within Skerry offers.

So what will Is Simon There? offer!??

- A checkpoint. Yes you heard that correct - I built a game with a checkpoint. Crazy, right? However, there is only 1 checkpoint at the midpoint of the game, for all you fine people interested in achieving multiple endings.

- 3 endings. First ending focusing on the simple story ending. And the second ending being a completely different ending for the game (could consider it a completely different game altogether :o ). I got some inspiration from some new creepy pastas I wanted to include in this game, so ending 2 is made up of that. And ending 3 will be a little charming Easter Egg :)

- A nice graphical boost in comparison to my previous titles.

- A simple horror experience with a large focus on engulfing the player into its atmosphere. Minimal random puzzles to solve and minimal random interactions. Simple story and atmosphere focus, incoming...



I suppose that's all I have to say, for now. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. After Is Simon There? I plan to take it easy for a bit and do some research on new ideas, mechanics, etc. I plan to incorporate some new mechanics, going forward, such as: Controller support, weapons, a more intricate inventory system, etc. Of course, we will see what happens as time goes on :)

cheers, everybody. And happy gaming!
