About this game
Fix up a haunted ghost town!
Befriend terrifying monsters!
Solve lots of puzzles!
Listen to over 30 ridiculous original songs to learn crafting recipes!
Get your fortune told by a sandwich!
Mayor May Knott is a “creepy-cozy” 3D adventure game about a shy girl who accidentally becomes mayor of a haunted ghost town.
Initially, May runs in fear from the monsters lurking about! But as she explores the town, solves puzzles, plays minigames, and fixes up houses and buildings, she becomes more confident, overcomes her fears, and discovers that the monsters are actually all very friendly and would love to help May around town!
Eventually, with the help of her newfound friends, May turns the abandoned ghost town into a thriving community, filled with a variety of delightfully creepy creatures.
Over 30 Unique Characters!
Repair machines with Grandfather Clock, the clockwork retired rapper. Join Reel McKoi in fishing junk out of the polluted lake. Get your fortune read by the mysterious, sandwich-headed Madame Pastrami. And get insulted by Dick Tater, tyrannical owner of Glitzberg, the seedy apartment complex next door.
And that's just in the first 5 minutes!
Over 30 Ridiculous, Original, Professionally-Produced Songs!
Throughout the game, you'll find "records" to play on the Edjukebox in the Hall of Records. Those records teach you new recipes by playing original, professionally-produced songs spanning a huge range of genres -- from rap to rock, country to punk, girl-band to boy-band, and beyond!
Talk To Ghosts!
Early in the game, May finds and fixes up a device for talking to ghosts. An “Ectophone” if you will. With the Ectophone, May can talk to the many ghosts haunting the houses around town, and try to help them remember their names.
Listen to Records on the Edjukebox!
Once May knows a ghost’s name, she can find their “record” in the Hall of Records, a combination record store and city archives. The Hall of Records is also home to the “Edjukebox”, a machine used to play the original, professionally-produced song on each record!
By listening to a new record, May learns a new crafting or cooking recipe! This is called “Edjuke-ation”.
Cook and Craft!
Armed with the recipes from the Edjukebox, May can cook and craft exactly what each ghost needs to move on, leaving behind the key to their house!
Invite Monsters to Live in Your Town!
The game cycles between day and night, and monsters have their own schedules of things to do. Sometimes the secret to making a new friend is to catch them at the right time, meet them in the right place, or build up the courage to talk to them!
By getting house keys from ghosts, and giving them to the monsters you meet, you can make them permanent residents of your town! Each new resident helps out around the town in some way, and as you add them to your town you gain new options and opportunities to meet new ghosts and monsters, solve puzzles, play minigames, and explore new areas!
Solve Puzzles!
Mayor May Knott is brimming with puzzles and minigames, whether it’s a puzzle to deduce the name of a ghost, a quest to find ingredients for a tricky recipe, or a minigame to befriend a new monster.
There’s even a spooky abandoned mine / bowling alley, a haunted mansion full of puzzles, and a creepy endless hallway stalked by a terrifying creature!
Build a Thriving Community!
As you unlock new areas, repair houses and buildings, and move new residents to your town, you breathe new life into your abandoned ghost town, turning it into a happy thriving community.
Perhaps eventually you can convince all of the monsters to live in your town… even the tyrannical Dick Tater!

feature test 1.3.1 needs your testing!
Feature Test 1.3.1 is up!!It would be a huge help if you'd play through this test build, and I'd love to get some thumbs ups or thumbs downs before I flip the switch on making it the public build. Behind the scenes, this is a big change because I've updated the whole project from Unity 2021.3 to Unity 6.5. There are a few new things in the game, but this test is mostly about making sure that that migration didn't break anything.This build is on the "feature-test" branch of Mayor May Knott, so you'll have to switch over to that to play it.Here are instructions on how to switch between branches of a steam game, if you need them:Even if you're not very familiar with the game, I'd appreciate it if you took a look! On the one hand you might be less likely to notice bugs and performance changes, but on the other hand you're probably more likely to try weird things that might uncover bugs if you don't know the "perfect path" through the game. And you're welcome to extend this playtest invitation to friends outside of this discord as well! ...although they WILL need a copy of the game (or be set up as a family member with someone who owns the game so they can play it via family sharing). Here's what to test: tell me if you find any bugs!tell me if performance is better or worse than the "live" version of the game!Note that there's a Discord icon on the title screen which will bring you to the 🧪-feature-tests channel on the Mayor May Knott discord server for discussion. If you have any problems connecting to the 🧪-feature-tests channel, let me know and I'll hook you up! Thank you so much for all the help!Read full article on Community Announcements (luvcraft)AnnouncementsOfficial
