A meme where a character called Archie wonders if a bomb exploding inside a Neapolitan pizzeria is part of an ARG.

A meme of a car taking the turn towards "nonconsensually touching a Great Old One's tentacle" instead of just romancing them.

Having concept art for our #SuNoFes characters means everyone has to deal with the silly memes I'm making now ๐Ÿ˜

Okay, so last year's GMTK project actually didn't feel like a dumpster fire for once, so fingers crossed ๐Ÿคž

Gotta take a break from #SuNoFes for a weekend to recover, so we're creating some wonky dumpster fire for #GMTKJam again this year ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ‰

Using rottingpixels.itch.io and kevins-moms-house.itch.io tiles/sprites at the moment!

That moment I realized the most unhinged character in our #SuNoFes visual novel isn't the literal eldritch god of chaos but our main character trying to romance them ๐Ÿคฏ

Our pride month post from two years ago is gone because we deleted our twitter account, so here it is again:

"Fun fact: Rose used to date a centuries old woman, trapped in an eldritch ritual. They met online.
Happy pride month, have Rose and Emma baking cake!"

After our last two jam entries were essentially high effort shit posts, we're now working on serious things like POOMP and a project for this summer again :)

For our latest game jam entry, Jazz Bear, we named our MC Antonciro because he's an Asshole and Sofija is called Sofija because she's the Shopkeeper. Based on that, you'd expect us to call the Bear Bert or Bernardo or something, but two team members are currently listening to #woebegonepod so...

Jazz Bear by NotHack Europa I can't possibly have fallen in love with a bear after getting cursed in a vintage store

We took part in #DiscMasterJam. It's not our usual type of jam, which made it especially fun to play around with.
For this jam, we built a visual novel completely out of pre-internet assets from the internet archive! It's silly and weird and we had a ton of fun!

a work in progress sprite of WYSAPOOMP's Artur.

Yup. We're preparing our Artur sprite for some actual consequences in POOMP. Perfection | Paper-thin was child's play for him, so we had to throw actual challenges at him at *some* point.
How'd it get this far? I'm sure you'll find out at some point when we finally manage to release POOMP...

This is not an Ad by NotHack Europa this is a visual novel

We almost missed the deadline for the โ€œWorst Visual Novel Everโ€ Challenge 2025". Not because the game wasn't ready. I just had a busy weekend and almost forgot to turn it in ๐Ÿ˜…
Anyway, have a bad game, everyone!

Screenshot from Madame Ro's Curiosity Quiz.
Shows the inside of the tent scene, dark with only the sparkles on the curtains glowing. A woman with long, wavy black hair wearing a purple dress and a veil on her face is in the center of the screen.
The text reads: "Madame Ro: Looking back at who you once were... What a self reflective answer."

Hey hey!! ive been resting for the past 2 days after almost 2 whole weeks of crunch trying to get our nano2025 entry finished on time

On Myosotis, I wrote the soundtrack, programmed the game, & did a tiny amount of writing

I now finally feel rested enough to talk about the game & what inspired me

Obletheon by NotHack Europa At the end of this book is GOD. Lory finds a strange journal.

We're happy to release our short psychological horror VN, "Obletheon - Journal into Nothing" for NaNoRenO 2025!

Lory switched majors and is too scared to tell her parents. Better to procrastinate by reading a stranger's journal, right?
