Some news & "Scream Fest IV"
I'm excited to announce that my cozy psychological horror game, Overcome Your Fears - Caretaker, is now part of the "Scream Fest IV" with a 15% discount!This is my first project that I developed almost entirely on my own, and I'm incredibly happy that my first game was so warmly received. I see a lot of videos and stream compilations about it - it's incredibly motivating. Already in late December or early January, I'm starting active development on the second episode. It will have twice as much gameplay, as well as a new interesting location that hasn't been used in any "psychological cozy horror" game before.
