That’s awesome to hear! Thank you so much for checking the game out and taking the time to leave such a nice comment :3 I really appreciate it! Especially when this one doesn’t get many views/downloads x3

So glad you had fun with the game :3 It’s one of my least played ones, so it always means a hell of a lot to find out someone has given it a go and enjoyed it!

It makes me super happy to hear you liked the music :3 I’ve been working hard for the last couple of years trying to learn how to make soundtracks for my projects, and while the one for this particular project was somewhat rushed, I was still fairly happy with how it turned out!

Thanks so much for playing and for taking the time to leave such a kind comment ^-^

Sorry x3 I was really short on time when I finished up this one, haha. I was an idiot for trying to make 2 games for 1 jam >.< and I will never be attempting that ever again, haha. I managed to ramble for DotD, but there was just no time left to do much for the extras of this one cos I finished it second x3

Woo :D Glad to hear it! Thanks so much for playing :3

Woo \^0^ So glad you had fun with it and that the twist worked :3 There were indeed little hints here and there :D but it's probably quite easy to miss them when you're playing through and you don't already know the twist x3

So happy you enjoyed it cos we worked crazy hard to get it done in time for the end of the jam ^-^ Thanks for playing!

Glad you think so! Thanks for checking it out :3

Glad to hear you enjoyed it :3 Thanks for checking it out <3

Woo! So glad you ended up liking this one too :3 Thanks so much for playing it!

Super glad you've been enjoying it :3 Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out and leave such a nice comment!

Hehe, yeah, they certainly do clash xD So glad you had fun with it :3 My brother wouldn't let up about how much he hates the twist, so it's nice to know that not everyone is of the same opinion that he is, haha. Thanks so much for checking it out ^-^

So glad you enjoyed it :D It was a lot of fun to make! I did kinda wish I hadn't included the option to pick character appearances when the jam deadline was looming cos it's so much extra work xD but it's worth it :3 I've tried really hard to include it where possible ever since I made Impostor!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check the game out and leave such a lovely comment ^-^

Woo! So glad you liked it :3 The whole of Spooktober Jam got me hyped for Halloween, haha. We worked our butts off to get the projects completed in time for the end of the jam, but I knew even if I accidentally made myself burn out, the spirit of Halloween would revive me in October :P

I don't think the beeping was even that intrusive :3 I just sorta wrote it off as general background noise, haha. That sucks your PC crashed with the blue screen of death though >.< that's never fun! Hopefully, your computer will be okay from now on so it doesn't happen again :3 I sure hope it wasn't the game, haha. I'd like to think not since I managed to test it fully on our family potato laptop and it was fine x3 but you never know with computers! Sometimes they seem to have a mind of their own >.<

Also, that Ella reference made me chuckle :P

Thanks so much for playing it and linking the video! I hope you're having a happy October and that you get to have a spooky Halloween :D

Halloween is life <3  hehe. Merry spooky season!! ^-^

Huzzah :D I did wonder if it was something that was actually gonna get people, or if it would just produce the same reaction it did in my brother of simply sighing and rolling his eyes xD

Also kinda worried about the build-up being too slow and people being like, uhm, this is tagged horror, soooo, when is the horror gonna happen? X3

As I've said in response to a couple of other comments, I can't take too much credit for the overall story with this one being an adaptation, but parts of it were my own original writing at least. It's one of the reasons I desperately wanted to try and make 2 games instead of 1 this year x3 cos I felt like I really wanted to try and make an adaptation of a No.9 script again, but I also wanted to make something else that was entirely original. So that's why I wound up making this and DotD, haha.

Glad you approve of the character choices ^-^ It's something I've tried really hard to implement in as many of my games as I can since I did it way back for Impostor. I often begin to regret it with how much extra work it creates x3 but it's worth it in the end :3 I just know how picky I am as a player these days and how many games I like the look of, but skip if I can't play as a fem character of some sort. I just figure it's more fun and inclusive if I can somehow give people a little flexibility with how they play.

Other than the voice acting, there isn't a whole lot of difference with who you pick for each character, but there are 1 or two tiiiiny bits of alternative dialogue when it comes to the riddles, haha.

Hooray, we are now auto companions xD And similarly to what you said, I'm glad to hear that auto works okay because I didn't actually get a chance to test it properly x3 The only thing I know is that if you change the text print speed in the settings, it can mess up some of the VA and SFX timings in certain scenes cos that's something one of the artists came across while testing, and something that's present in pretty much all of the games I've made with Nani because I have no idea how to fix it T_T

Dominic and Rebecca actually recorded a live session together for male Shearsmith and fem Volkham :D I feel like you can definitely tell that from the way they bounce off of each other :3 But I was also really surprised at how well all the VA came out in general with it being so dialogue-heavy. I kinda wondered if, for the pairings where they weren't recorded together, they might not flow quite as well, but they did! I don't know how everyone managed to pull that off while recording separately from different locations around the world, haha.

Yeah, if Eufasy hadn't drawn such a wonderful car interior background, I feel like the whole project would've fallen apart x3 The only free resource I could find for a car interior was not so great, haha. Same goes for all the CGs, because it would have been near impossible to portray those moments with sprites alone! I would have had to go to black screen and attempt to rely solely on sound or something, which wouldn't have been half as cool.

Yay for the music fitting too ^-^ That track I made for more casual moments and wound up calling fortunately/unfortunately ended up practically becoming my theme tune for the jam xD I listened to it a lot in the background while I was doing other stuff, haha. To the point that I started to find it extremely irritating x3

Thanks so much for playing and for being such a sweetheart <3 You always put a lot of thought into your comments, and I can't even tell you how much I appreciate it :3 You wonderful human, you!

Thanks so much for taking the time to play and leave such a lovely comment <3 So glad you had fun with it ^-^

Thank youuuu ^-^ You're always so kind <3 

Glad you had fun with it! You got the true ending, which is good because that's the ending I kinda tried to push people into getting on their first go through by purposefully making it harder to get the other 2 endings, hehe. 

Eufasy's art certainly is top tier :3 And I'm happy you ended up enjoying the voice acting! I've worked with Rebecca before, and she's pure awesome :D But everyone else in the cast I've never worked with previously. They were all awesome too :3 My voice is so bad, but I figured that Control is such a small part, it seemed silly to look for someone to play it when I could just do it myself and try to hide my voice with radio SFX xD

Thanks so much again for playing and I hope you have a super happy spooky season!!

Thank youuuu <3 You're always so sweet ^-^

Hehe, yeah, Rebecca with the curse of the pink-haired Spooktober characters :P Maybe I was just accidentally channeling Nyari when I settled on the sprite for fem Volkham x3 

I'm genuinely surprised that you liked the UI though! I felt like I went kinda lazy on the stuff I did for this x3 even if it was still a pain in the butt to get everything working right.  But I was trying to make it as simple and clean as possible while still matching the game so that it wasn't intruding too much on the scenes in the car. Oh, and I had to make multiple of the buttons twice because I was an idiot and forgot to make the text layers fill the canvas on some of em before adding the glow for hovering, so then the glow was cut off with straight lines from the tiny box surrounding the text >.<" It still is on some of the buttons that I didn't have a chance to go and fix, but hopefully it isn't too noticeable on the ones that got left behind x3

Thank you again for being your usual awesome self :3 

Thanks so much for playing and taking the time to leave such a sweet comment! I'm so glad you had fun with it ^-^

You're so sweet as always <3 Thanks for all your kind words ^-^

Though, I can't take too much credit for the writing in this one x3 I wrote all of Dawn of the Damned, but with The Graveyard Shift being more of an adaptation, the story was more a case of me following the original script, tweaking it here and there, and adding to it in order to turn it from a kinetic TV episode story into something interactive that has choices, different reactions depending on those, and then the different endings. The one that I refer to as the 'true' ending in the little guide I made is the true ending precisely because that's the way the original version of the story ends (although I did add to and edit some of the dialogue in it still! But what happens is essentially the same) :3 The other endings are entirely my additions, haha.

I just hope that my additions and edits aren't an insult to the original because that would be mortifying x3 I really loved the way it looked on TV and thought it may potentially make for a cool VN if I can adapt it somehow! There's no way I could have done that alone though because, for starters, the only car interior background asset I could find was kinda awful, so Eufasy drawing such a brilliant background for the car interior made a huge difference alone! Not to mention all the other amazing CGs that were created :3

It was a bit of a pain in the butt trying to find additional scenery backgrounds to use for what you can see through the car windows, haha. Cos I needed quite a few for when the car is actually on the move or it would've looked really odd having static scenery outside the car x3 And, being the nerd that I am, I had to edit most of them to try and make them look like it had been raining.

I knew I wanted to try and use more in the way of SFX with this though in an attempt to build some atmosphere without relying entirely on BGM tracks, so it makes me super happy that you approve of the audio direction ^-^ I edited a ridiculous number of SFX to get everything I needed, and a lot of the sounds weren't actually of what I used them for. Like the shaking of the teabags was actually someone shaking a can of spray paint x3 And the more metallic sounds for the car were things like bin lids and swords xD I had to edit and combine a lot of stuff to create the rain on the car roof and the thunder and such as well. It was really fun, haha. I always seem to get a lot of joy out of sound design, whether it be editing SFX or trying to make original music tracks :3 I still feel like such a noob because I don't really know what I'm doing from a technical standpoint, and have no education in any of it xD I just try my best and hope it turns out decently, haha.

And yeah, the voice actors all did such a fantastic job of bringing the characters to life :3 It wouldn't be the same without them!

Glad to hear the twist wasn't entirely predictable as well because in the first week of the jam when I mentioned it to my brother, he just looked at me with a sort of disgust and said, but that's one of the crappest twists ever xD And I was trying to defend it like, sure, it's not the very best, but it's still a fun one, damn it! x3

Anyways, I will shut up x3 Thank you so much for going through it and leaving such lovely feedback ^-^ If it weren't for my stupid headache, I'd be playing Panacea right now!! >.< At least I have it to look forward to tomorrow :3 Coffee + spooktober jam games? Yes please x3
