have to shout of GESTALT: The Fifth Day, a criminally underrated horror visual novel with multiple (randomised) scenarios to play through over five (ish) days, and a really unique visual style. figure out how to survive the things haunting your house, and maybe- just maybe- get through the fifth day

Does a CRPG dating sim need impact frames? No.

Did I put them in the game anyways? Yes.

I'm a little surprised, but it looks like both GESTALT: The Fifth Day and the Complete edition both still show up in the Itch search results! 🎉

It's sad to see a lotta games leave and get hit unfairly, so make sure to find your favorite games on the site and see if they've been affected!

Been going through the process of scaling down the rest of the art for my game into pixel art. A more painful process than you'd think, but the sprites look fantastic so far!

WE'VE DONE IT🎉

Keepers of the Keep is OFFICIALLY Woke™, because you get to be nonbinary if you want (also you can change your pronouns at any time in the game)

We're sorry for pissing off this curator, it will happen again 😞🤙✨
