  MysteryCrown wishes you all the best in the Chinese new year

  MysteryCrown FMV Studio would like to express our deepest gratitude for your long-term companionship and support. It has been over two years since the launch of our first FVM, 'Try and love', on January 25, 2024.As a small-budget studio, our productions cannot compete with million-dollar projects in terms of scale or polish. However, over these two years, we have remained committed to our horror roots with titles like 'Back'，'UndeadReal:Ego'，‘Back2’,‘Back 3', while also daring to explore new genres (Worthy or not) and innovative gameplay mechanics (Pact between us). Regardless of the outcomes, we are truly thankful for your tolerance and support for all our products.In the past year, to ensure the studio's survival, we ventured into secondary creations (such as 'Mouringwood Lodge' series and 'Invisible us') and even developed adaptations based on film and television content ('Mute'). Looking ahead to the coming year, we will continue to adapt more AI-generated content to keep the lights on. We consider it a great privilege to have walked this path with you, and we thank you for your understanding.As a humble game developer, I possess no extraordinary talents. My greatest strength, perhaps, is honesty. Thank you for embracing that honesty.As we step into the new year, we wish each and every one of you good health and success in all your endeavors.To all new friends who haven't joined yet, we warmly invite you to our official QQ group to connect and share your thoughts.Official QQ Group ID: 983536806

  Announcement the Release of "The invisible Us"

  Dear bros who have long supported our studio, our new adapted product, "The invisible Us," releasedSimilarly, as an adapted product, it does not have a branching structure or a true multiple-ending setup. Bros who are concerned about this should consider carefully before purchasing.The pacing of this product is also relatively slow, focusing mainly on storytelling. There are no jump scares or horror elements, so those who are drawn to our studio for its horror FMV should also think twice before buying.However, because it deals with a relatively uncommon theme, my experience while playing it felt quite different. Let me share some specific feelings.As a piece of content addressing anti-school bullying, it felt quite heavy at times, and occasionally even stirred up some anger. It’s not exactly a joyful gaming experience, which makes me wonder—does this contradict the fundamental purpose of games, which is to bring happiness? I’m not sure, but after playing this game, it did evoke some memories, including various news reports about school bullying. Since I have a child, after finishing the game, I told them that if they ever encounter any form of bullying at school, they must inform their teacher and me immediately. This includes speaking up if they see other students being bullied. I believe this might be the very significance of this game’s existence—to raise awareness among players and alert them to similar incidents around them, thereby preventing even one real-life case of school bullying. That, in itself, would be an incredibly meaningful achievement.Additionally, the game touches on issues related to dysfunctional families. While it may come across as somewhat preachy—perhaps not executed in the most subtle way—it is true that many bullies’ behavioral roots can be traced back to their family environments. After playing the game, I reflected on my own child’s family background (which, of course, involves me) and whether it might have a negative impact on them. It...

  "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" Release Announcement

  Hello to all our longtime supporters and friends of our studio, "Back"! Our second fan-creation project, "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" is now officially released.Before you purchase and play, I’d like to clarify a few things."Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" was developed based on pre-existing video footage, so if you’re looking for multiple branching storylines, this might not be the game for you. Additionally, the deductive reasoning process in this game bears some resemblance to another mystery game released last week—purely coincidental. After reviewing feedback from players, I’ve further simplified the puzzles. However, the game still contains some jump scares (at the very least, our QA testers were startled multiple times, though fear is subjective, of course). For any shortcomings, I appreciate your understanding.To be honest, creating FMV (full-motion video) games comes with a lot of pressure. Much of this pressure stems from other studios operating with huge budgets and significant losses, while our ultra-low-budget projects fall short in both scale and quality. Since our first FMV game, if there’s one thing we’ve consistently done well, it’s being objective about our work and communicating openly with everyone. With just three people on the team, there’s no reason to hold back.This leads to many questions. Last month, a high-budget FMV game was priced at just 9 yuan? I genuinely don’t understand how they plan to recoup costs without a hit—are they running a charity? It’s unclear. If we were to price our series based on that game’s scale, ours would be worth no more than 1 yuan. At that rate, small teams simply couldn’t survive. From our first project to now, I’ve kept the price consistent—a level that, with average sales, would allow us to break even and fund the next project. So, when it comes to pricing, I honestly can’t follow the lead of other studios.The same logic applies to quality and gameplay. Coming from a background in traditional game dev...

  ​​"Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice" - Release Date Announcement: October 25th​​

  Hey bros who've been following our interactive movie game series from 《Back》! Our brand new fan-creation project, ​​"Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice", is set for an ​​early release on October 25th (this Saturday)​​.​​"Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice" from the Beyondtells a story that happens beforethe events of ​​"Mourningwood Lodge". In FBH1, Wang Hui ultimately met his end as a sacrifice, but long before that, he was already involved in other paranormal incidents.Furthermore, this prequel will secretly contain hints related to a future installment in the Mourningwood Lodge series (let's temporarily call it Mourningwood Lodge 3).As a fan-creation product, we've been able to optimize some of the issues players raised regarding FBH1. However, the lack of significant branching paths is something that's genuinely tricky to address. Just as I explained in a previous announcement, this product was developed by creating the fixed video content first, and then building the game around it. It wasn't filmed following the traditional interactive movie game approach of designing for multiple branches and endings from the start. So, for those of you who place particular importance on extensive branching narratives, please be advised and consider this before playing. That said, the game doesfeature multiple endings.Additionally, some gameplay mechanics in this title coincidentally share a high-level design similarity with another product that launched last week.This game contains horror segments. As for how scary it is, that really varies from person to person.Finally, thank you all for your ongoing support. Whether it's the fan-creation products we're currently developing or potential future adaptation projects, our goal is singular: to raise funds for the production of 《Back4》. The script for 《Back4》 is already complete, but production cannot start yet as we are currently in the fundraising stage. But this is something I am definitely committed to making happen.See you this ...
