I honestly thought this was obvious but please DON’T come to an indie game publisher/dev Discord server and talk about how you pirated the game.

No idea. I was one of the folks made redundant so I’m not working on this game anymore.

I’ve been waiting for 5 years for folks to play this.

A screenshot of the Mysteries tab of the game menu. It shows the main mystery The Culprit, surrounded by 3 other mysteries that feed in to help solve who is responsible for the disappearance of Miss Deane.

Mysteries are abundant at Blake Manor and keeping track of the many threads of your investigation is very important.

This is where the Mysteries tab of the menu comes to the rescue. From here you can piece together the clues & information you have gathered & work towards solving this strange case.

We are nominated for 5 @official-aias.bsky.social #DICEAwards:
🔹Game of the Year
🔹Adventure Game of the Year
🔹Outstanding Achievement for an Independent Game
🔹Outstanding Achievement in Game Design
🔹Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction
Winners announced 12 Feb on IGN channels 8pm PT/11pm ET.

So REPLACED’s demo has finally hit Steam 5 years after we announced the game.

I’m so happy to see it finally out in the wild and want to congratulate everyone who got it across the line. The devs, Coatsink and everyone who was impacted by layoffs that didn’t get to see the project through. 🖤

Our latest patch is now available on Steam. This patch addresses a number of issues reported by the community.

I wish I could stop sneezing.

I have a full blown cold 🤧🤒 and I am so bored of this already.

The news about Catherine O’Hara has genuinely shocked and saddened me.

RIP. What an icon.

Great time to grab D*Fuzed GBC if you haven’t got our game already.

Screenshot of records section of the game menu. The tooltip reads: The records contains a catalogue of all the evidence Ward has gathered during this investigation. Some evidence can be Examined or Analysed for further information. You can Examine your Hiring Letter, for example.

A screenshot of the timetable section of the game menu. A text box over the menu reads: As you learn more information, the Timetable will be populated. Characters will appear on the map each hour if you know their schedule for that time slot. Reminders can also be set so events aren't missed.

During your time at Blake Manor you will need to interact with guests & staff. Knowing where they are planning to be & when is vital.

The Timetable section of the map helps you keep track. Discuss the suspects' weekend plans or find their schedules to learn about their movements.

I made a piece based on Romero's Day Of The Dead (My fave of the original trilogy). I kinda want to fill out some of the dead space, but then I also kinda wanted it to seem devoid of life at the same time... I also resisted the urge to add more colour, etc. Ah well, here it is... for now. #zombies

Feeling really bleugh out of nowhere.

The one day I actually decided to have lunch for a change.

Terry Pratchett. Carpe Jugulum

Book 6 of 2026.

I just learned it has some loose pages which made me very sad.
