This is one of the most important and beautiful games I've ever played.

A little bit late but Happy New Year! We’ve been celebrating my putting our main character Hemlock into a bunch of dark rooms in his pajamas, and really leaning into our idea of #cozyhorror. Or maybe it's #cozyuntilitsnot

Wireframing is helpful when you haven’t figured out exactly how a room should look or function. Draw something quick, put it in the game, and see if it feels good! If it doesn’t, you can try again before you commit many hours of pixeling and architecting. #pixelart #gamedev

An important part of game development is being open to iterating, like adjusting the layout of a town when testing shows that players get confused with where things are. Sometimes, this means a scene can change over ten times- like our town of Krkanov has!

Anna is the beloved maid of Castle Dornstein. She’s also a great source of local knowledge, and it might be wise for the player to get on her good side…
