3. Other demos from fellow indie devs
4. Extended Demo - Teasers
5. Kickstarter

Updated demo

I've updated the demo with the following changes:

  • Fixed a mistake where Enoch and Lucas don’t comment on your choice of popcorn if you watch Amorous Apartments with both of them on Night 2 and this isn't Enoch's first time at the theater
  • Fixed a mistake where Enoch reverts to his Alien form while at the theater with Lucas on Night 2
  • Fixed a mistake where Enoch refers to female Riley as “he”
  • Fixed a mistake where Enoch’s sprite overlaps Mr. Gallagher’s during the quiz

Programming is one of my least favorite parts of game dev, if you couldn't tell :P

Thank you to all those who pointed out bugs to me! If you find any more, please let me know so I can fix them!

Playthroughs on Twitch and YouTube

Thank you to all the YouTubers and Twitch streamers who released playthroughs of the demo! :D

Other indie devs

  • Band Camp Boyfriend is having a Steam release in Spring 2023 after several years in development! I loved this demo! The humor is top-notch, the music and atmosphere is great, I love the variety of choices we get. And of course, the characters are all incredible. Poptart is precious, Peter is hot, I'm such a SIMP for Clark - they're all great.
  • Velvet Fox Games has released a demo and Kickstarter for their mobile otome game, Infinite Blue! I got to experience a few of the chatrooms myself (Alexei best boi) and if you're a fan of games in the style of Mystic Messenger, this'll be right up your alley!
  • I'm currently working as a proofreader on El.Seth's Otome Jam game, Of Frost and Flowers! She's a fellow punster, memer and Asian dev with an impressive collection of works, so give her a follow and look forward to her ambitious Otome Jam entry in a month or so!
  • I got to participate in Amare Jam, writing for one of the entries on Katelynn Parsec's submission: The Disaster of Project Domus Nova. As you can see, I'm keeping with the outer space theme in my visual novel work. :P Go check it out!

Extended Demo

I do have a YouTube channel where I post video teasers of the game as it's being worked on, including upcoming scenes in the Extended Demo/Full Game, as well as the royalty-free OSTs.

Check out an upcoming teaser from the Extended Demo below, as well as a couple of new OSTs you'll hear in the full game!


In addition, here are a couple new screens you'll see in the full game. 


Last but not least, check out this adorable chibi Enoch that I won in a giveaway from @TotES Studio P. on their Tumblr! <3


Kickstarter

This is not set in stone yet, but I am planning to release the Extended Demo and Kickstarter sometime around September 2022. I hope these teasers will tide you over until then!

In the months leading up to this, I will be extra busy with IRL commitments, so I will be taking a temporary hiatus from social media. I'll still pop in occasionally to drop a meme now and then, but for the most part, I am going to take a break to prioritize my mental health.

I will make a proper return in September with a more concrete update. See you then!
