Dear Paranormal Investigators,
Last year, Joure and I (Joe) were thrilled to announce "Paranormal Tales" (PT) to all of you. Your enthusiasm took us by surprise, turning PT into a viral sensation during the Halloween season. This overwhelming support caught the attention of Digital Cybercherries, who graciously offered to both publish and co-develop the game.
With this partnership, PT has benefitted and will continue to benefit from additional funding and the technical capabilities and expertise that Digital Cybercherries bring to the table, such as custom assets, animations and sound. This collaboration allows us to implement features that were previously out of our reach. However, while it offers immense potential, it also means that some of PT's development depends on Digital Cybercherries' timeline. As they are in the final stages of their project, Hypercharge: Unboxed, many of their talented developers are currently occupied. This means certain aspects of PT's development, which require expertise Joure and I lack, are temporarily on hold.
We apologize for not updating you as frequently as we would have liked. This journey has been a new experience for both Joure and me. Please know that both of us, along with Digital Cybercherries, are fully committed to refining PT. Our focus ranges from optimizing it in Unreal Engine 5, writing stories for each episode, testing gameplay mechanics, designing levels, to figuring out what works and what doesn't. Given the attention PT received, we want to offer players the best possible experience, even if it means spending more time refining it.
However, amidst PT's development constraints and evolving landscape, Joure and I wanted to offer something unique and playable for you by this Halloween. Outside of the hard work we're already investing in PT, we've dedicated our spare hours to designing a horror experience titled DON'T SCREAM. It's an Unreal Engine 5 horror adventure where you explore a mysterious forest for 18 minutes. But there's a catch: if you scream, you restart! You can watch the trailer below.

Important Update: Our collaboration with Joure's Patreon has ended. Patreon is now exclusively used for Joure's personal projects and is not associated with Digital Cybercherries.
Past Paterons of Paranormal Tales and DON'T SCREAM will still receive:
- Your name will remain in PT's credits.
- A free copy of PT and DS on Steam is still yours.
We hope you understand our journey and decisions. While PT needs more time to perfect, we're excited to serve up a thrilling Halloween experience with DON’T SCREAM.
Warm regards,
Joe & Joure
