New Gameplay trailer is out!
Daylight never felt this unsettling.

Every thought is tallied. Every smile is a lie.

Now my adrenaline is still up, and before my introverted side shows up.
It just feels everything’s so magical ever since I worked full time on this game. (Not like we secured a publisher or anything, still striving hard on this)
There’re so many great moments I wouldn’t have experienced w/o it ✨
So glad to be sharing with other talented folks at @animenyc @play.nyc.official today! 
We share how NAME OF THE WILL has been heavily influenced by anime. 

NAME OF THE WILL Demo in OCT!

People say you have to catch the attention in under 5 seconds. So the opening scene must be straightforward, ideally showing the heroine in danger, waiting to be rescued.

But why must a woman always be the one waiting to be saved?

The only person who can truly rescue you, is yourself. (1/2)
Made two drafts for the hands for the cutscene. How'd you like it?

Demo out in Oct, wishlist to stay tuned

We updated our demo after GDC! 🎮
✅ Clearer tutorials
💬 A revamped dialogue UI to match the story’s vibe
🧩 Easier puzzles because too many players got stuck 😆. Keeping the story immersive is key!

Such a honor to connect with young game devs and share our growth. Narratives are potent, and I’m just amazed by how video games could bridge the cultural barriers with immersive storytelling.
Honored to share our pitching experience to college students in Marist University. First time seeing our gameplay in such a big projection 📽️

So our game is about escaping an euphoric cult by jumping between the past and present. 

It's so hard to pronounce CULT in American accent as non-native speakers, our tongues are now stuck in the tonsil 🤣 Meet us at GDC to see if we're saying it right?

2 months after shifting to full time game dev. Yes things are tough out there, but game devs circle is probably the most generous field I’ve ever been.

Just feeling extremely grateful for all the help and kindness I received so far, and hope one day I can have the resources to help others out.

All individuals who create works about their roots while living away from their homeland are brave souls.

You’re breaking through the gap of others’ misunderstandings, misinterpretation, stereotypes and building a bridge to connect this divide.

Behind the uniformed smiles, every puzzle hides a darker secret. Sneak, solve, adapt or escape this eerie world.

Down the road, foggy memories flicker; a mysterious girl appears, and they all matter to the truth.
