Hello, everybody. I hope you are all doing very well.
I wanted to let you all know that my latest horror Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow at 10am PST / 11am Mountain time.
Is Simon There? will be slightly different from some of my more recent releases (i.e. Within Skerry and Inside Depth 6) in that it will focus primarily on creating an atmosphere for the player to dive into.
Is Simon There? will have fewer required puzzles (excluding optional puzzles) and fewer "aimless, eventless wandering". My goal is to tell a story while keeping you on the edge of your seat, while anticipating the next event to happen.
Of course, like my previous games, Is Simon There? will include 3 endings and 1 Easter Egg/ special ending. I've toned the difficulty of these optional puzzles down a little so that the vast majority of players can experience all the game has to offer without relying on too many guides.
AND finally, no more getting knocked-out black screens. Nothing but silky smooth progression, a dark story, a neat little Easter Egg, and a hand full of intuitive puzzles to keep you thinking, throughout the 40 minute long journey.
Once again, Is Simon There? will be releasing tomorrow (May 06, 2022). And as always, if you play the game, please leave an honest review. I would love to know what you enjoyed and disliked about the game.
Once Is Simon There? has been published, I will be spending some time researching new mechanics / systems to implement into new games (i.e. controller support, advanced AI, potential VR, etc)
Cheers, everybody!
Stan. T
