Hi everyone!

Some cool things are now available -- check out the latest website, along with a devlog post where I go over how I created this game within less than a year!

[h2]Website Up! (1/2)[/h2]

The website for A Winter Haunting is now publicly available! While this will have some minor updates as time goes on, you can find the following here:

❄ Game - Official trailer + Steam purchase widget

❄ Wiki - Setting / character Info (with spoiler tags when applicable!) + walkthrough (contains minor spoilers!)

❄ Press - Pull quotes from publications and steam reviews

❄ Media - Gallery of game screenshots


[h2]New Devlog! (2/2)[/h2]

Are you an aspiring developer? Maybe you're also working towards a game while having a full-time job? Are you working on any projects solo? Or perhaps, you're interested in a bit of the "behind-the-scenes" for this game?

Whatever your reasons are, check out this short devlog on how I created my first game, A Winter Haunting, within a year as a solo developer!

While I am no expert, I thought that sharing my story can help some other gamedevs and my broader community in their own personal endeavors, along with giving a timelapse of some of my artwork in my voiceover! :)

Hope you all enjoy the holiday season ahead!

Hi everyone!

Can you believe it has already been three days since the release of A Winter Haunting? I'm happy to see that people have been streaming, sharing, and participating in the discussions. Thank you so much for helping grow and contribute to the community! :)

[h2]New Patch Available (1/3)[/h2]

While watching people's playthroughs and reading through some feedback, I've created a new patch with some small updates (!! minor puzzle spoilers ensue -- these have been hidden just in case !!).

[h3]Here's a quick breakdown! [/h3]
❄ Typos fixed (6) -- mixture of misspelled words and names.
❄ Mildewy Room: Sometimes Everlyn would render above Mel -- even when Mel is in front of her.
❄ Mildewy Room: Added missing hotspot for contraption interaction.
❄ Floral Room Puzzle: The matrix multiplication now requires you to only fill out two cells instead of three, to still maintain a bit of the mathematical element without having too much burden. P.s. It's totally fine if you don't get this! You can still proceed through the game even if it is incorrect!
❄ Sandy Room Puzzle: The board where you place the vector pages is now denoted as "magnetic board" for better signposting.
❄ Interrogation Room: The dialogue when clicking on the fox and summer room puzzle TVs was switched. This has now been corrected.

[h2]Demo Save Information (2/3)[/h2]

While saves are enabled in the demos, these unfortunately cannot be transferred to the main game.

When building my demo, I enabled a flag that would determine whether or not the build I'm deploying was a demo (along with removing all the scenes not pertinent to the demo from the demo build) -- as such, if you try to use a demo save file in the main game, you will get the "Thank you for playing this demo!" popup.

If a lot of people would like to skip past this portion, I might consider adding some save files that people can download (or alternatively, pinning any community members who are willing to share in the discussions!)

[h2]Walkthrough (3/3)[/h2]

I am currently in the midst of building my website, but in the meantime, I am sharing a google drive link with a written walkthrough.

I hope that this can help out!
Hope you are all enjoying the holidays and A Winter Haunting! :D

After a year of development, A Winter Haunting has finally been released with a 15% launch discount!
This discount is available for 2 weeks, so feel free to grab it at anytime during this period for a cheaper deal! :)

I wanted to take the time to thank everyone for their continued support through this journey -- whether it was on Discord, social media websites, or even direct emails! Without your support, I would not have been able to make it to this point!

This was my first published game, so it was a long yet enjoyable ride. I learned a lot, and cannot wait to apply it to my next game.

I will be looking into creating a website, along with publishing a walkthrough in the next two-threeish weeks :)

Till then, I hope you all enjoy this game! Looking forward to seeing all of you in the community tabs!
