I am super happy to announce the playable demo of "What have You Done, Father!" is now available!
Play as Fr. Mathias Marton as his afternoon prayers are interrupted by a strange PHONE CALL!
Who could that be?

Meet the mysterious lady Marina and the other resident of the rectory as the evening takes an unexpected turn.

It will be an experience the likes of which Fr. Mathias has never lived before, one which will shake him to his very core.

[h2]Exciting news![/h2]



Hey there!
🌟 This week, get ready to dive into the demo of "What Have You Done, Father?"
🎮 Yup, you heard it right! I've got a demo all set up, and you'll be immersing yourself in the first chapters of Father Mathias Marton's thrilling adventure!

I'm absolutely hyped about what I've pulled off on nearly zero budget and in a timeframe of 6 months for the game, plus the mandatory last three months for those finishing touches.

I poured my heart and soul into this one (just like all my other games), and I'm crossing my fingers you'll catch those vibes when you're playing. I am working on other game projects on the side, but hey, progress is steady, and I'm proud of what I've have achieved.

Funny thing – recently I added a whole new scene for a grim start for the game and an epic intro cinematic, pushing my solo dev skills to the limit. Check out the screens below! Those small touches make a world of difference.

Oh, and did I mention? There's a dark poem for that hellish intro scene. Nifty, right? 📜

But I'm talking too much again.

Stick around this week – the demo's about to hit the scene!

Catch you soon! 😄

[h3][h2]Who is "The Crimson Maid" ?[/h2][/h3]


🌟 This one is different, but at its core, it's dark, sad, and emotionally wrecking. At least that's what me and my friend, Catalin from GrimTalin, aspire to create. A seemingly beautiful period drama with a dark, victorian undertone.

🏰 "The Crimson Maid" begins on a beautiful afternoon as you arrive back home to attend to your father who has been befelled by a mysterious ailment. His sight is fading, his sanity slowly crumbling... And then there's Irina, the beautiful maid, employed to take care of things around the estate.

Will you resist her charm? SHOULD you resist her temptation? Who knows... So many questions that only "The Crimson Maid" can answer!

🎮 Go now and play [h2]THE FREE DEMO[/h2] and add it to your wishlist! Really, we put our heart and soul into it. By far, the most beautiful game I've ever created. 💖

[h2]THE CURSED BRIDGE[/h2]

🕯️ I'm 5 chapters into the game, officially halfway through this thrilling adventure. 😱



💀 "The Cursed Bridge" - this name isn't just for show; you'll experience it firsthand. Without giving away any spoilers, you'll leave the confines of the rectory behind and venture into the eerie forest in the middle of the night, all to cover up something deeply unsettling... 🌌🌲



Then, a sudden halt – a flat tire. You might want to swear, but remember, you're stepping into the revered Fr. Mathias Marton's shoes! With composure, you try to fix that flat tire. But, in true horror fashion, things take a dark turn when you discover some chilling "issues" with the contents in the chest at the back of your truck.



I won't spoil the story and events of this chapter, but rest assured, it'll be a memorable one! 👻🚗
📸🎮 Check out those new screenshots from this chapter and spread the word about the game!

[h2]READY TO SEE SOME NEW PROGRESS AND SOME HOT SCREENSHOTS???[/h2]

I'm thrilled to see you here, showing your hardcore fan dedication by exploring more about WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, FATHER (WHYDF)!

👻 Crafting the Horror Experience 👻

To keep things brief, I've put considerable thought into creating this horror game, especially the spine-chilling aspects. I lean towards a slow-burning, gradually escalating sense of dread, with carefully placed scares, rather than constant chase and fear (à la Outlast style). I am envisioning the game is a unique experience comibing noir elements with horror and gore. Plus, it is easier for me, as a solo dev. (Hey, did I tell you that I am a solo dev?)



🗣️ Dialogues that Unsettle 🗣️

Prepare to experience this unsettling atmosphere through dialogues with the in-game characters. Engage with them as the story unfolds.

🌄 From Beauty to Terror 🌄

As you embark on this harrowing journey, the game begins on a serene Christmas Eve afternoon, bathed in golden sunlight. But as the evening progresses, a massive storm rolls in, setting the stage for the disturbing events that lie ahead. Watch as the scenery transforms gradually from beautiful to utterly frightening.



🌲 Explore Beyond the Rectory 🌲

But wait, there's more! Venture outside the rectory to explore other eerie locations:

🌉 The Accursed Old Bridge, hidden within the stormy forest.
⚰️ The Cemetery, near the old rectory where you'll do... Well, stuff!
⛪ The Chapel, where you'll try seeking the help of the Divine.



These locations are not vast open-world expanses but rather small, meticulously crafted with attention to detail. Expect them to be packed with tension and dread!

📸 Check out the screens below to get a glimpse of the work in progress!

Thank you for reading this short announcement! Stay tuned for more progress updates and exciting content next week.

Your unwavering support means the world to me. 😊🎮🌌
