I'm currently re-developing the demo for The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak (to be re-released), which will lead to a later full release date, but a (hopefully) much better game! Development will take a while, so here's a taster from the new prologue...

Carnival is 15% off for Steam Scream IV! And Abscission is 50% off! The Eldritch Horror double pack of both is a further 10% off! Together, that comes to an amount!

Following on from everything I've learned making Carnival and Snarl, I've started to gradually redesign/revamp The Tragic Loss of M. Slazak, ahead of re-releasing the demo at some point in the future with new visuals, UI, sound and music. Here's a sneak peak at Borys...

Thank you to everyone who has commented and recommended Carnival and Snarl, I'm very thankful for the support! Carnival could still use some reviews from players if you are feeling generous, it would be lovely to get to 50 by Halloween mwahahaaaaa!

If you've played Carnival, would you be able to leave this little guy a review on Steam? Look, he's all alone and the tunnel is dark and weird. He needs help.

I commissioned my 13 year old kid to make the Itch.io cover for my new game, and I'm sure you will agree they did a fantastic job x

SNARL will be another lighthearted, jolly game... or maybe not.😅
