Come on over and become the mayor of a haunted ghost town, full of terrifying monsters… who all want to be your friends!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped make this game a reality, and to the fans for all your love and support! I’m overwhelmed that there even ARE fans!
…and now I’m gonna stop spamming the forums about it!
I am having some pretty gnarly fps issues, and though my rig is old I can play much more intensive games (often on low settings) relatively smooth, so I wonder what’s going on there.
Oh! Also, I was talked into setting up a discord for it, and that’s actually been pretty useful for talking to people and getting feedback and bug reports and also giving hints (and it’s extra cool when fans give each other hints)
Got to the end (haven’t figured out where the sleepwalker is) and really enjoyed my time with this. I never got around to Chulip but saw and enjoyed the Love-de-Lic/skip ltd homage here. I didn’t expect as much horror as I eventually uncovered and thought the whole train station basement/PT hallway/bodega sequence was my favorite surprise. The cursed antiques were my favorite of the bunch just for their designs and voice loops. I like that the hint system helped me unstump myself when i had been stumped in a more subtle, gentler way than say, looking up a gamefaq…though I did find a hint on the steam board to house the bird that made me pause with an open jaw at missing the obvious joke. Thanks again and I’m glad you got this out into the world.
Oh yeah, I never reported in: I finished the game in like 3 days, crushed it, spent some time getting everyone in their favorite houses for no particular reason other than that they deserved it. Performance issues never really got better, but other than that I loved the game. Can’t be emphasized enough how much I appreciate having a game like this that has an arc and then finishes, rather than trying to get you to play it forever like Animal Crossing or something. I already recommended it to a few non-sb friends.
I’m about halfway through the game now! It’s my reward for getting through a bunch of freelance work, and it’s quite rewarding. Very much enjoy the ongoing puzzle of figuring out each character’s favorite house, and enjoy the variety of interactions you’ve created out of such a small set of basic verbs. That’s my favorite thing about moon-likes and this game does it well.
Also having constant performance issues and ran into a peculiar bug the first time I tried to wake myself at midnight: it played a scene of the hat hare waking up and cut back to may continuing to sleep, but slowly twitching her way into the sky.
