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: 983536806Read full article on Community Announcements (MYSTERY CROWN)AnnouncementsOfficial
Release Announcement: [Mute]
Dear brothers who have been following our studio and new friends we've recently met,Our latest fan-made interactive video game, \, has been officially launched on January 10th.We sincerely thank all our brothers for your long-term attention and support.This is a rather short and unique fan-made project. It is adapted from a small-scale film and could be seen as being packaged with some additional gameplay elements to be released as an interactive video game.Brothers who might mind this are advised to consider skipping it. From a personal perspective, purely from a viewing angle, the film itself is okay. Friends who enjoy suspenseful movies can treat it as a short film to watch.Currently, the studio can only rely on taking on similar projects to maintain our most basic survival, thereby accumulating more opportunities for future original projects.This year, the studio is determined to persevere, including an original horror-themed project already in preparation. For more updates, please keep an eye on our official announcements or join our sole official QQ group: \.Once again, thank you all for your companionship and support over the past two years.Thank you, everyone!Read full article on Community Announcements (MYSTERY CROWN)AnnouncementsOfficial
Release Announcement for "Mute" on January 10th
To all our long-time followers and friends of our studio,Our latest fan-based creation, "Mute" , will be released ahead of schedule on January 10th."Mute" is a game adapted from the film of the same name. As such, the core experience remains centered around watching the film. We do not recommend it for those looking for multiple branching paths or varied endings.The reasons for developing this product are twofold: first, to cover our customization costs and keep the lights on, and second, if it turns a profit, to help fund the production of new installments in the 《Back》series.Additionally, this is a film that, due to certain circumstances, could not be publicly released. After watching it myself, I still believe it’s worth a look—though to some folks, it might still come across as a bit of a hot mess.But, in my opinion, among the many messes out there, this one carries a unique significance.Alright, that’s all for now. Catch you online soon!If you’d like to learn more, feel free to join our only official QQ group: 983536806.Thank you all once again!Read full article on Community Announcements (MYSTERY CROWN)
