Thank you! All the music in the game is from audionautix! The person who runs the site is super talented kind to offer free music.

I'm not sure when the game will be complete, but the second chapter will release this year! And I plan for the game to be free :)

Thanks for sharing the nice song!
A message from my StrawPage that says "hii, amazing person!! I've recently started playing Invite Me In.. and let me tell you.. IM IN LOVE WITH THE SONG AT THE START SCREEN!! Also when is the game done? I'm really REALLY enjoying it!! And if it already is out and I just haven't noticed that you need to pay.. -_-" They also attached a song to the message. Parlor by kent
