This bug's going to become a feature. Some people offer you their seat, others don't.

Too funny not to record before I fix this bug 😂

"So busy I'm seeing doubles"

I updated the cursor to better fit the theme "following your heart".

Playtest is Live on Steam!

What if you could go back in time - to that crossroad where the possibilities seemed endless, and the choice was all yours?

Moving in the city exterior map felt too boring, so I added an electric hoverboard! And no you can't use it on stairs

Made a level up animation for the game dev passion path.

I'll be entering @BlueOcean_Games Rising Tide Challenge 2! It's an opportunity for indie developers to get funding at early stage (with just a trailer or even an idea). Here's the link for anyone interested in voting: https://t.co/SAx9sMjuqj

Finally, the NPC and the player character will stop sitting on top of each other...

Improving the water... Just added player reflection to make the water look more realistic :)

I added some support to the maze! It seems both from my own experience and feedback I got that it's conveying horror without any support, and this is a cozy game, so... I'm adding a minimap and a get help button to teleport the players out!

[Simulated Being | Back to 21 @simulated_B_dev]

ok this underground maze is harder than I thought. Me getting lost there for a bit just trying to get out. Maybe I should have a get help button in case anyone gets stuck in there?

Made a simple calendar system so you won't forget the events you've subscribed to!

Gave the city exterior scene a simple map system.

@iamkayzeez Thank you for your kind words! At this stage my main focus is still the develop the game and get it done. I'll keep this in mind when the time for more marketing comes later :)

[Simulated Being | Back to 21 @simulated_B_dev]

I'm having way too much fun designing this narrative
