The demo for our #SpooktoberVNJam game, "Little Red Mushroom Head", is live!

Follow a young girl whose reality is turned upside down by tragedy, and suddenly finds herself face-to-face with a house made of rotting flesh. A witch happily welcomes her inside, but can she be trusted?

Penelope:
"I'd be disobeying Mother if I do, but..."

Mother:
"... I am not worrying too much, Penelope. The last time you went out on your own... Why, I still have nightmares about it."

"She sat in front of my * * * * * * * she was waiting for an opportunity to *
As expected, * cannot be reasoned with.
She * again today. She made * * * * and handed me this drawing. She claimed to * the flowers * my home. * had never seen something so *"

Amanita:
"Please, Penelope. I worked so hard to prepare it just right. It is all for you."

Thanks for 420+ downloads of the demo for Where the Day Springs Red! (Ze would be so proud...)

I can't wait to laugh, weep, and share more about these characters as I work on parts 1 and 2 of the full game. They've burrowed their ways into my heart so quickly (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) ♡

An autumn diptych of the Where the Day Springs Red characters with their younger selves on the top and their older selves on the bottom. In both sets, Gum is looking straight forward at the camera. The words "You needn't fear. I would not harm you, Lorghum Limmerich" are superimposed on top.
