Now my adrenaline is still up, and before my introverted side shows up.
It just feels everythingโ€™s so magical ever since I worked full time on this game. (Not like we secured a publisher or anything, still striving hard on this)
Thereโ€™re so many great moments I wouldnโ€™t have experienced w/o it โœจ

NAME OF THE WILL on Steam You wake up in a euphoric cult inside a residential building. Surveillance never stops, and all puzzles peel back another layer of truth. As you jump between past and present, even the smallest choice...

This game explores collective trauma. Step by step, it draws you into a surreal world.

If youโ€™re willing to give the time, youโ€™ll soon find yourself caught in a journey that is both haunting and healing.

Demo out in OCT! WISHLIST ๐Ÿ‘‡

People say you have to catch the attention in under 5 seconds. So the opening scene must be straightforward, ideally showing the heroine in danger, waiting to be rescued.

But why must a woman always be the one waiting to be saved?

The only person who can truly rescue you, is yourself. (1/2)

Such a honor to connect with young game devs and share our growth. Narratives are potent, and Iโ€™m just amazed by how video games could bridge the cultural barriers with immersive storytelling.

So our game is about escaping an euphoric cult by jumping between the past and present.ย 

It's so hard to pronounce CULT in American accent as non-native speakers, our tongues are now stuck in the tonsil ๐Ÿคฃ Meet us at GDC to see if we're saying it right?

2 months after shifting to full time game dev. Yes things are tough out there, but game devs circle is probably the most generous field Iโ€™ve ever been.

Just feeling extremely grateful for all the help and kindness I received so far, and hope one day I can have the resources to help others out.

All individuals who create works about their roots while living away from their homeland are brave souls.

Youโ€™re breaking through the gap of othersโ€™ misunderstandings, misinterpretation, stereotypes and building a bridge to connect this divide.

Behind the uniformed smiles, every puzzle hides a darker secret. Sneak, solve, adapt or escape this eerie world.

Down the road, foggy memories flicker; a mysterious girl appears, and they all matter to the truth.
