Hey, Manly! If you have night-time allergies, you could be allergic to a local night-blooming plant. Try checking out what grows in your area, or which ornamental species your neighbors might have. This is actually the first time I've heard of nightly allergies, so make sure to run this by your doctor. Maybe they have a specified skin test for this variety! ;)

This game is exactly what I wanted but I need game devs to know that having your text MOVE AS IT IS BEING TYPED OUT is an extremely bad idea and makes it unnecessarily harder to read, especially when the text is going down onto a new line. There's a reason why old point and click adventure games would have the text appear in an area oriented to the left instead of centered on a point.

Love the aesthetic of this, the Clock Tower influence is obvious right down to how the protag is basically a carbon copy of Jennifer.

@Aster_Iris Ай бұрын

I'm not sure if it's intentional but there's also definitely a rabbithole here: Clock Tower was inspired by a number of movies but predominantly is a mashup of Suspiria and Phenomena, having the more supernatural/occult atmosphere of the former and the character designs of the latter, extending to the main lead Jennifer, who fun fact the main lead in Phenomena was also named Jennifer. What's interesting is that the girl who played her the very next year was Sarah in Labyrinth. A story that also starts with a girl babysitting before the plot hits the fan and someone kidnaps the kid(s) she's babysitting and also wacky creepy dream shenanigans.

@MokohiChan Ай бұрын

Yeah, I was slightly confused because the protagonist is literally the EXACT same design as Jennifer, just with a different personality AND it mentions the Boyd manor. I was thinking it might be a fan sequel until the protagonist was named as Sarah.
