Hi Bluesky! 🌟 I'll start using this more often, so it's time for an intro post:

🟣 Working on an (anti-)death game called Artificial Selection
🟣 I like mystery, puzzle & horror games
🟣 I make merch (sometimes!)

Hoping to reconnect with people from other platforms and find cool new ones! 💜

Finally jumping on in time for my first #PortfolioDay!

I'm Kigyo, a visual novel dev, artist & programmer. I love creating weird little guys and gals, and putting them in horrible and/or hilarious situations. 😇

Support me on Ko-fi or by simply playing my games!

Screenshot from SpookY2K (comedy / horror mystery visual novel) featuring 3 girls in Y2K Halloween costumes. The middle one says "Now, now. Don't pout, you two."

Screenshot from Deep Sea Valentine (yuri dating sim / RPG) featuring two girls in bikinis. A pouty character starts saying "I mean, it's Valentine's Day... And you and I have been close for a long time..."

🎃 Did you read our Spooktober Postmortem yet? 🎃

What started as a simple idea 1.5 years ago culminated in a highly ambitious retro horror comedy made by 4 people within just 30 days!

💀 Find out how we did it: kigyo.itch.io/spooky2k/dev... #spooktober #visualnovel #gamedev

🎃 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"
