A Winter Haunting | FEATURED

Well well well! Can you believe a week has passed -- Steam Next Fest is now over!
It was awesome to have you all try my game demo. Thank you so much for giving it a spin! :D

I also received a shoutout on Adventure Game Hotspot's list for game demos to watch out for in this edition of the Next Fest!

While the fest is over, I am aiming to perpetually leave up my demo, in case anyone wants to give it a spin to get a feel before the full game releases in December! :D

October 2024 Steam Next Fest + Beta Phase Progress!

Hi everyone!

Well it's that time of year...STEAM NEXT FEST!! WHOOHOOO!!

I have opted in for this year, so definitely feel free to ask questions, post discussions, show screenshots, or even any fan artwork you have! :)

On another note, I will be starting my second phase of beta testing next week! Major thanks to all the people who offered to dedicate some time to testing my game -- I know that it can be a lot of work!

On that note, I also wanted to thank my broader audience for supporting me through this journey. While I might be a hobbyist solo dev, I could not have done it without the encouragement of my community, the support of my friends and parents, and the motivation from the various gamedev groups I am a part of!

So thank you all for helping me push through the last rung of this game, and I hope to see you around in the discussions! :))
