Lemurs! We have more previews of our NPCs!
It's been really exciting to see early character concepts turn into fleshed out characters with their own backgrounds, motivations, desires and now even their own in-game music! Check it out!

We're still hard at work on WTDL, and today we're sharing a little teaser of one of our NPCs along with music that will be accompanying them! We're eager to show off more of these, so stay tuned!

We're continuing to unveil some of the NPCs for Monsterhearts: Welcome to Drowned Lake. While the reveal will be up elsewhere tomorrow, as a little treat to our Bluesky Lemurs (who have been incredibly supportive throughout our dev process) we're posting it up here first! So enjoy this sneaky peek!

Hey all you lovely Lemurs! (Also Raccoons, Marmosets, and at least one Marsupial.)
As our Kickstarter approaches, we wanted to introduce you all to some of the NPCs of Drowned Lake. The town holds many secrets, and so too do the residents. You'll need their help to unravel the mysteries.

Hear ye, hear ye! Calling all Lemurs!
Today we bring forth the Queen, long may they reign. Will they do so with benevolence, boosting those around them and making them truly better? Or will they rule with intrigue, gossip and tyranny? Only the Queen can know for sure.

Hey all you rad Lemurs!
Our feature of moves comes to an end, and as a final reveal we have something special! Introducing Reveal the Abyss a new move we've added for WTDL. We wanted players to have a move that explores voluntarily exposing their monstrosity to others during contested choices.

Hello all you spooksome lemurs! It's time for another skin!
Today we're featuring the Mortal. Often, the real monster is man, and this is no exception. Codependent and obsessive, the mortal's monstrosity is both more subtle and more insidious than one might expect. Be wary of their love.
