An in-game screenshot showing Ze posing with a smile at the front, saying "Always brush your teeth kids," as Gum looks on in abject disapproval and Marshall absolutely loses his mind behind them.

An in-game screenshot showing all five of their sprites dressed in their sleep clothes up in the attic while Marshall shoots up in the middle, shouting "Awoooo, werewolves in London!"

An in-game screenshot of a CG showing the five of them engaged in a raucous pillow fight in the attic, with Marshall in the middle looking like a rabies-infested werewolf. The text says "This continues for a good ten minutes."

An in-game screenshot showing Berek and Gum at the forefront, with Berek angrily gripping Gum's head while Ze leans heavily on his shoulder, slyly letting out a drag from his cigarette and saying "I'm always here."

We had issues submitting last night (it turns out you can't submit a game to a jam whose page you don't own...) but we're finally in! Thanks robobarbie! I'll write proper promo stuff later. #VeloxFabula3
