Switching over to playing Kana.exe by @hatoge.itch.io ! A Y2K mystery horror game inspired by Yume Nikki and DDLC? Sounds like my dream game!

There are few things in this world I fear... but busses? THAT'S real horror!

Join me tonight for a shorter stream as I voice act and play through @hatoge.itch.io's Line 88 for the very first time! The game's art seems super pretty, and I'll always adore a good indie title~!

As much as I hate for things to come to this, I do not know what else to do. My cat is miserable with what seems to be a blockage and we cannot afford a vet visit on our own. Any help is appreciated.

(last jam game until I get at least one full release game out, not forever LOL Idk why I phrased it that dramatically...)

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 31

Also I know I've said this before, but I actually mean it this time: This will be my last jam game. I'm working on multiple full releases so they will get my full attention now 😣 (+ bachelor project is coming up soon yuck)

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 31

I know this is a terrible sales tactic, which is why I'm making a seperate post, but please don't expect a super deep or polished story from Fairy nook. This was a uni assignment that was originally more of an art installation than an actual game; but I thought people might still want to play it

(if you have arachnophobia and this would still trigger it, please let me know though!)

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 29

Also since I tend to make cute but scary games, this one is not. There is one scene that's a little scary if you're scared of spiders, but the game has a bugphobia mode that hopefully fixes that haha (This screenshot shows what the flies look like with bugphobia turned on, the spider looks similar)

A game screenshot. A book nook with 4 faries that's been swarmed by chibi flies.

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 29

This was originally a projection mapping assignment for my last winter semester, but I added some new content over the past week and polished it up so I can publish it for trans rep jam :D

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 29

See you on Sunday :) (or Monday, if I find more (unintentional) bugs on Sunday.) More info in replies! #indiedev #transrepjam

Screenshot from a game of 2 faries in a book nook. In a textbox it says: "When Celest awoke, they were in an unfamiliar environment."

Since this is the internet and people love to interprete things in bad faith, I've put problematic in quotations, not because I don't think they are, but because I think calling something problematic without exploring how and why is stupid and exactly at the center of this whole dilemma.

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 23

What makes this even worse is that Misfiction is a SFW *parody* of these "problematic" tropes that are being pursued right now. Hot take, but I don't think censoring any kind of discussion of a topic, no matter the context, is healthy actually.

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 23

Misfiction has been delisted. Because of a kidnapping and stalking content warning (I'm guessing). There's no sexual content in it, hell, it hardly even classifies as a horror game, that's how tame it is. Meanwhile I have listed games with torture and cannibalism in them. (Which is mentioned in CW)

i feel in love with mistrick every since the game's release, and while it stuck with me the longest, all of hatoge's works have greatly inspired me as an artist for the past few years, as it's become pretty much an yearly tradition for me to draw john and chase.

Hatoge @hatoge.itch.io · Aug 22

Aaaa this is awesome! I love the composition and pose 👏 Also omg you're the one who drew the mistrick barbie prison meme! Thank you for all the support over the years and all those gorgeous drawings of my boys 🥺 Can't believe it's been 3 years since Mistrick birth already, time passes so fast...

Played Reouija Sleepover by @hatoge.itch.io

I LOVE this game. A mysterious apartment complex, an ever-changing landscape, ghosts, timed puzzles, AND trans representation! It also looks gorgeous and scared me at a couple points.
