Seeing these reviews continue to come in from players is so humbling and gratifying. To send a signal out and hear back that people are not only receiving it, but RESONATING so strongly with the game and its story is self-actualizing. Thank you so much to all who have played!

"A hell of a debut title." A heartwarming review of The Haunting of Joni Evers going into the winter holidays!

#indiegames
A screenshot from the game The Haunting of Joni Evers featuring key items including a sketch of sisters embracing, an empty firefly jar, a journal, a book, and a postcard from Plain, Ohio. The screenshot is overlaid with text from a Steam player review from December 9, 2025: "If you liked games such as Gone Home and What Remains of Edith Finch, I can pretty much guarantee you'll like The Haunting of Joni Evers. Good story, good voice acting, *really* good writing, immersive spooky vibe that doesn't rely at all on cheap jump scares, absolutely my sort of horror game. I really hope the developer has more games in the hopper cause this was a hell of a debut title."

As our Art Director, @brijenkins.bsky.social is the reason "Joni" is as striking as it is! Here are some of her thoughts on lighting for the different player experiences we tried to create:
brijenkins.bsky.social Brianna Jenkins | Causeway Studios @brijenkins.bsky.social · 26d
Yesterday I mentioned how I am a multidisciplinary game artist - one discipline that I really enjoy, and spent a lot of time on for The Haunting of Joni Evers was lighting.

Today, I'm sharing some examples that I think illustrate the moods of Joni well, and how lighting contributed.

Specifically the interaction with the cultural fund destroys trust: with players, with government orgs, with communities, and partners. Trust like that isn’t easily rebuilt. If you farm out a cultural touchstone to machines, what are you saying about the people who play your games?
futterish.fsquared.biz Mike Futter 🔜 Peace and Quiet @futterish.fsquared.biz · Nov 16
Vote with your wallet. Send the message that this is simply unacceptable. And I hope the German government rakes them over the coals for taking 6M Euros from a cultural fund and then using AI localization.

It’s one Eff You after another to players and now cultural institutions.
