I did it!!! HyperStar X Duel now has sound effects in. It's a stupid card game with lesbians (in space!) I made with my friend @pescacosmica.bsky.social back in 2023, inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh!, Space Patrol Luluco and all the ridiculous shonen animes we liked as kids. Now 80% sillier

🎃 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"

The 2nd Fatal Frame (or Project Zero as we call it in Europe) is one of my favorite horror games & was an obvious inspiration during my work on #SHINRAI, so I'm very much looking forward to the remake & can only recommend everyone go check it out!!!!!

Just discovered these in my mailbox, once again drawn by Ryuu-chan:

Older versions of all 4 members of Raptor Pack Productions, dressed very fancily 🥺

I violently love all of these as much as a T-Rex a juicy Parasaurolophus carcass!!!!!

Thank you so much 😭😭😭
