Lemurs! We have more previews of our NPCs!
It's been really exciting to see early character concepts turn into fleshed out characters with their own backgrounds, motivations, desires and now even their own in-game music! Check it out!

Lemurs, hear our tiny voices!
We're still hard at work on WTDL, and today we're sharing a little teaser of one of our NPCs along with music that will be accompanying them! We're eager to show off more of these, so stay tuned!

We're really touched by the outpouring of support for our shift in strategies as we work to bring Monsterhearts: Welcome to Drowned Lake to life. It means the world to us, and we're absurdly grateful! It's really reinforced for us why we want to make it happen so stay tuned for updates!

Well it's finally happened, our ads have attracted the attention of folks telling us we're going to hell. As queer TTRPG/ videogame enthusiasts that lived through the satanic panic making a game for other Queer TTRPG/video game enthusiasts set during late stage Satanic panic, it's a badge of honor.

Hey all you lovely Lemurs! (Also Raccoons, Marmosets, and at least one Marsupial.)
As our Kickstarter approaches, we wanted to introduce you all to some of the NPCs of Drowned Lake. The town holds many secrets, and so too do the residents. You'll need their help to unravel the mysteries.

Today we bring forth the Queen, long may they reign. Will they do so with benevolence, boosting those around them and making them truly better? Or will they rule with intrigue, gossip and tyranny? Only the Queen can know for sure.
