Howdy, Ceri!

Thanks for the questions.

Have you played Up All Night: Daybreak, yet? It’s a short, free kinetic visual novel following the events of Rumination. Katie and Nick were definitely a thing in Rumination, but after the passage of time the two have parted ways as a couple. ...For now. Daybreak sheds a little more light on this.

1. We’re not sure about the ending count for RoD just yet, but definitely at least 10 and likely a lot more; ranging from short and sweet to long and dramatic. We intend for RoD to be much larger-scale than the original Up All Night, which means a lot more ways to die endings to explore.

2.Yes, RoD follows the events of the Up All Night ‘true end’ in its entirety thus far, including the Rumination ‘true end’ and Daybreak.

3.Yes, Felix plays a prominent role in RoD, both indirectly and directly. Grayson as well in some capacity, though her role isn’t as directly involved in the main plot as Felix’s.

4. Yes. Mainly as pertaining to Felix, but we have some other LGBTQ+ elements we’re planning to work in as well. It’s not the main focus of the story/plot, but LGBTQ+ representation is important to us as a team, and it’s an element we entirely intend to work into the story and characters.

And thanks for the indie horror recs… We haven’t heard of the others, but our team actually checked out FAITH. It was very cool, even though we sucked at the mechanics. Ended up watching a playthrough instead. :’) Out of the others, Bramble definitely seems the most up our alley. We’ll definitely have to check these out!
