Extended Demo

The Extended Demo is out NOW on both itch.io and Steam! Finish the rest of Chapter One with an extra 1-2 hours of gameplay (again, dependent on reading speed).

This will be the last publicly released content for My Alien Roommate until the full game comes out. To keep playing My Alien Roommate until then, you'll have to back the Beta Tester tier on Kickstarter or above to be able to play beta updates for the game as it's being worked on (and have the ability to give feedback for it!).

The Extended Demo also comes with new updates, such as:

  • added a new hover effect when mousing over choices
  • added a text messaging system (thanks to Wavi at TotES Studio P. for the help with coding!)

  • added some new OSTs 
  • revamped the RPI design (Relationship Point Indicator)
  • added some new expressions and variations




  • added ability to customize Riley's pronouns
  • added a CG gallery and Achievements screen
  • disabled the SFX when characters speak (I may bring this back if I can create a separate option to disable it for those who don't like it)

The 4 main characters (except Enoch) also have birthdays now! 

Can you guess who each birthday belongs to? (The answer is in the Extended Demo, if you can find it...)

Rebranding

I've decided to rebrand from WholesomeWraith to Purple Herring Games. It's a name that I've sat on for a while now and I think it's a good option moving forward with the Kickstarter. My dev name will still be Wraith tho :3

Check out the logo designed for me by Bakjwi Namja!

You can contact me at either wholesomewraith@gmail.com or purpleherringgames@gmail.com. The name change is also reflected in my social media.

cool art and awesome!!

I love the extended demo but my brain is too smooth for this thinking it's making me do T0T

Oooh, the messaging system looks so nice! ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿปโœจ Gonna miss the SFX when characters talk, ngl. It helps the illusion that they're voiced, so my attention span isn't fading x'D 

Either way, good job! Best of luck with everything! ^v^)/
