Reviews

Awarded “Host’s Choice” for the 💀 SCREAM JAM 2020 💀!

Rave reviews by other jam developers:

Very interesting and very unsettling game. I came in with few questions and I came out with more. I need more. 5/5 – srg

This game is perfect. Honestly there’s not a single thing to dock points for. The art is absolutely on point. – makegamergirls

This is extremely good considering the time you had to make it in, and one thing I certainly wasn’t expecting to find was a horror parody of one of my favorite [Humongous Games] series. – Attica Kish

Development

Developed specifically for the 💀 SCREAM JAM 2020 💀 game jam on itch.io. Co-developed with the same friend who I also worked on Horai with together!

Built with Godot, using the Escoria 2.0 point-and-click adventure game framework.

Music

I also wrote the soundtrack!

End:

To get those classic mid-90’s synthesized instrument sounds, I emulated the Yamaha YMF262 chip (utilized in multiple sound cards in the day) using the ADLplug chip synthesizer.

While I was playing around with that synthesizer, I discovered quite a few instruments I recognized from some early Humongous Entertainment games (Putt-Putt, Fatty Bear’s Birthday Surprise), especially the soundtracks produced by Tom McMail. I might later write a blog post dissecting each game’s music and what synth instruments were used, a-la Reverb Machine!
