I lost a bet to my sister so I had to make a vampire video game. Tricks on her! I wanted an excuse to learn variables in GB Studio. This is the most complicated one of these I’ve worked on, so far (7 endings!). Check it out when you get the chance! It’s free. 🔗 👇

Did a LOT of work integrating the new VA by @tomschalk.bsky.social into the train fight for this #NightmareKart thread! Theres more lines in this one lvl than probably the entire main campaign so it was a doozy!
*This is an unfinished WIP, dialogue cutting itself off & bad balancing are known bugs!

@redllamagames.bsky.social Hey! I do developer outreach for a publisher and we want to chat with you about Crimson Rest. What's a good email address to contact you at? (You can DM it to me on here or Twitter).
Also, the link to your press kit might be dead. I couldn't get it to load.
