Update will feature a new language, touched up visuals, new sound effects, cleaned up code... Whatever I feel needs fixing, really ;w; I don't have a specific date in mind, esp since I'll be busy finishing up LRMH.

For now though, here's a sneak peek of an updated CG !

"Little Red Mushroom Head" was first conceptualized back in August 2023! And Penelope's design has only had minor adjustments in that time...

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."

i heard that girl likes centipedes.
isn't that weird? how could a girl like centipedes?
they're so gross. they're slimy and poisonous.
they don't have hearts. they don't even have brains.
they may as well be parasites. i can't stand looking at them.
how could a girl love centipedes?
sure, maybe there are some centipedes that aren't really poisonous... but they're still gross no matter what!
i hate centipedes. i hate her! how could a girl love centipedes?
i bet she keeps them in her bag. i bet she lets them sleep in her bed.
i bet she feeds them her lunch and brings them to school with her.
i bet she doesn't even know how gross she really is.
i hate centipedes. i hate her.
doesn't she know they'd eat her corpse if given the chance?
why doesn't she react when we say anything?

she'll learn one day.
and when that day comes, we'll laugh and say,
"We told you so!"

don't they know words hurt?
what did i do to deserve this?
i've never meant any harm.
i'm sorry for being like this.

A redraw of a frame from the music video for "Retry Now" (いますぐ輪廻) by Nakiso. It depicts the character Nakamura Mimiko standing in front of a dark blue sky and body of water. She is turned at the camera with a smile on her face and a cut on her right cheek. There is a text box underneath her that reads:
"「 ... ... ... ...」"
Along with that, there is a "quickmenu" at the top, featuring buttons for "Save", "Load", "Skip", "Log", and "Menu". There is also a date in the top left corner, reading "20xx年2月14日(x)", or in other English, "14th of February, 20xx (unspecified day)".

A redraw of a frame from the music video for "Retry Now" (いますぐ輪廻) by Nakiso. It depicts the character "???" standing in front of a dark blue sky and body of water, now illuminated by white lights and stars. She holds a staff in her hands and smiles at the camera. Where the text box once was reads:
"「大正解、おめでとう！」"
Which officially translates to:
"Correct, Congratulations!"
The quickmenu and date present in the previous image is now gone.
