🎃 SpookY2K is out now! 🎃 #SpooktoberVNJam

You wake up on a cold bathroom floor, only to discover that you time travelled to a Halloween party in 1999!

As you get closer to the other guests, will your clueless involvement let the party take a deadly turn? 🔪🩸

🦇 PLAY HERE: kigyo.itch.io/spooky2k

A title screen showing a girl doing a peace sign on the floor, surrounded by a chalk outline meant for a corpse

Two girls pouting, with the third in the middle saying "Now, now. Don't pout, you two."

A man seductively leans into the screen, while three choices are displayed: "Go for it", "Do nothing", and "Kill him"

A relaxed skater dude stands in the kitchen, saying "Well, I guess what I'm trying to say is... thanks"
