  Scary Shadow Spot - All In

  Some games are made to be finished. And then there are others that are meant to be lived. Scary Shadow Spot – ALL IN clearly belongs to the second category. This project has been with me for almost two years. Two years of rewritten ideas, systems thrown away and rebuilt, nights spent wondering whether what I was building truly made sense. Today I can finally say it: ALL IN is real. And it’s available in Early Access. What is Scary Shadow Spot – ALL IN ALL IN is a loop-based psychological horror set in a 1950s advertising agency. Neatly arranged desks. Reassuring slogans. Televisions always on. An environment that feels stable, safe, almost comforting. Until it isn’t. ALL IN was born from a very simple question: is it possible to create an anomaly game you can’t memorize? In traditional anomaly games, after a while, the same thing always happens: you learn what to look at, what to ignore, what to expect. Tension turns into a checklist. ALL IN tries to do the opposite. It’s not just about observing In ALL IN, you don’t just notice if something has changed. The game also observes how you play. During a run you may encounter: psychological questions hidden in computers, walls, and unlikely places seemingly harmless choices the game does not forget visual and perceptual tests advertising cases where you decide whether to invest résumés to analyze, people to hire… or to fire As you play, ALL IN builds a profile. At the end, it gives it back to you. And no: it’s not just a final screen. It affects what you experience, what you will see… and what you will never see. No two playthroughs are the same Already now, in Early Access, ALL IN includes: numerous different endings events that combine in unpredictable ways situations that depend on who you are and how you play One run can feel almost calm. The next may slowly become suffocating. And often you won’t immediately understand why. Why Early Access ALL IN isn’t a game meant to be “completed and shelved.” It’s a living proje...

  Update 1.0.2.0

  Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all the players experiencing Ramona. Reading your comments, your reviews, and your emotions is something that, for a solo developer, means more than anything else. Ramona was born from years of work, fear, care, and obsession for every detail… and knowing that it’s truly reaching you is wonderful. In this update we tackled one of the problems that frustrated you the most: heavy lag and sudden stutters on some PCs. After many nights of testing, we discovered the issue came from how certain GPUs handled DirectX12. To ensure stability for everyone, starting today **Ramona always launches in DirectX11**, the safest and most compatible version. The result? Significantly better performance and no more shadow glitches. At last, Ramona should now be smooth and stable on every configuration. We also added a new option in the menu: **“Artificial Intelligence”**. Over the past few days many asked how much AI influenced the game. For this reason, I chose to explain it openly: AI was used only for the multilingual voice-over and for some paintings, to make the experience accessible even to those who don’t speak Italian. But everything else – the story, gameplay, artistic direction, programming, puzzles, atmosphere – was created entirely by me. I hope this new section brings clarity and allows everyone to enjoy Ramona with peace of mind. What’s new in Update 1.0.2.0? Added the "Artificial Intelligence" option to the main menu. Lag issues resolved. Graphics adapted for DirectX11. Overall game stability improved. Warning This is a major game update. If you had an ongoing playthrough, your saves are not compatible. If you don’t want to start over, go to the game’s properties on Steam, select the "Beta" tab, and in the dropdown menu choose "Old Version". You will be able to continue the previous version of Ramona with your working saves. Thanks to you, the journey continues! Doesn't Matter Games Studio

  RAMONA IS FINALLY OUT

  RAMONA IS FINALLY OUT {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45729006/723851008c213bf20e18d4c2c822aa43953cae62.jpg After years of visions, ideas and obsessions, Ramona is finally available on Steam. This is not just a game. It’s an experiment in love, fear, and rage. The rage of Ramona — the one that boils beneath the surface, that explodes when no one listens — has become real. Everything you’ll see, hear, and feel in this story comes from there. 👁️ WHAT IS RAMONA {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45729006/85d61fa44213cff85e3866510ddecb0b2bd4a89d.jpg Ramona is a psychological horror set in the 1970s, where colors seem faded by time and fear comes from within, not from outside. Every room tells a story. Every sound hides a memory. And the deeper you dig, the clearer it becomes that it’s not just the house that’s alive, but what moves within its silence. 🔦 WHAT MAKES RAMONA UNIQUE We built every detail with one goal in mind: to make you feel fear as a human emotion, not as a special effect. • 💡 Dynamic lighting that reacts to your emotional state. • 📷 Polaroid-style footage, like fragments of a lost photo album. • 💥 Rage crises, sudden moments where reality shatters and everything becomes uncontrollable. • 🎵 Original soundtrack that follows every breath, step, and mistake. 🩸 THE REAL FEAR {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45729006/088e3f04e723077344d893644735e7b7bbccdf0a.jpg Ramona is not just a ghost story. It’s a journey into the mind, into memories, into the fear of losing oneself. A story that changes with whoever lives it, and that leaves something behind even when the screen goes dark. 💬 A PERSONAL THANK YOU I don’t know if Ramona will please everyone. But it’s a game that speaks honestly — about rage, about love, and about everything that keeps us awake at night. I hope that, by playing it, you can feel at least a fragment of what we wanted to express. 🎮 PLAY NOW ON STEAM 🎮 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/45729006/e6508ce84d132d8127ba4e1946c9569b06c45ee2.jpg
