Não acredito que eu minha versão do Powerpoint não é capaz de rodar o jogo!!

Caro desenvolvedor, o senhor acredita que o Google Apresentações é capaz de rodar o seu jogo? 🥺

I found this game out while searching for the other Dandelion Girl adaptation on VNDB, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there is another team adapting the short story!

I’m now motivated to read the original story and then both VNs. I think it’ll be interesting to see the differences in the adaptations.

Also, I checked the devlogs and the assets looks very beautiful. I look forward for the release of your game!

Actually, Ghoulish Party was released yesterday!

Ghoulish Party, my new visual novel game, is now available for free on https://epschy.itch.io/ghoulish-party!

The game follows a college student who suddenly finds himself in a dark forest, being chased after by terrifying, loathsome monsters. He is in total agony—until a girl brings him to reality. Turns out that terror was all just a VR game, and in contrast to the agony he felt while playing that game, now he is welcomed to a halloween party being hosted in his own house, teeming with cute girls and good food!

“Thank god it was all just a game,” he said with relief. Well, was it just a game?

I… I am traumatized…

Fico feliz, mano! Eu amaria ver outros jogos seus, apesar de eu não ter certeza se você pretende publicar outras histórias.

Master was right, huh? Revealing the truth only at the end did made the game a lot more interesting and made for a good cliffhanger!

Me saying this may not sound so nice, but I’m unsure if I have interpreted the game correctly, I might replay it soon. I did find it intruguing and I enjoyed the psychdelic storytelling, specially the use of the quick videos—those brought made me considerably more immersed in the story.

However I disliked the 2nd person narration. I think it’s hard to imagine myself as the protagonist of the story, to which I think a 1st person narration would work better for the game. Though this is merely my opinion and other players might feel different from me (I’m saying this not to be kind, but because as a writer, I constantly take criticism at face value while I not always should.)

Anyway, those were my thoughts. If you are anything like me, you will open your itchio dashboard twice a second to check for new downloads, good luck on those initial days of release. Hopefully your game gets the recogniztion it deserves.

Sincerely,

Epschy

The rule states that we should inclued the Spooktober Jam logo as either a splash screen or on the menu cover. However, it doesn’t specify when the logo should be put. Can I only display the jam’s logo as a splash screen after the end or I should do it once the game begins?

The finger part was a reference to a this spooky visual novel masterpiece, Ghoulish Party!

Have you heard of it?

Desobri o projeto por acaso num banco de dados sobre visual novels, o VNDB.org. O projeto me parece interessantíssimo, fiquei surpreso ao ver que há uma equipe de acadêmicos por trás dele. Acredito que o jogo tem um grande potencial educativo. Desejo sucesso para a produção e espero que a equipe consiga finalizar o jogo com sucesso.

Abraço!

I'm glad you liked the visuals! As you've guessed, English is not my first language. I do read a lot of novels in English but I still struggle at speaking and writing naturally. It's even harder to output naturally when it comes to writing in a somewhat poetic prose.

Thank you for your suggestion, though. I'll keep that in mind and look for copy editors/proofreaders for my next projects. By the way, what's to come is dead ass fire, so if I were you, I'd consider keeping an eye on my page, and perhapes even following me ^^.

I truly loved this story, themes and the use of colors. How it was made to made the reader unconfortable - and how it worked!

Great game. It served as an inspiration for one I made!

Don't lose the opportunity to play it!
