Branching dialogue! Hard choices! A cemetery's worth of phantoms, wraiths, and poltergeists lookin' for love in all the blight places.
Hi incredible [i]Speed Dating for Ghosts[/i] fans and well wishers! Ben here.
I figured you might be interested in what I'm making next!
It's called [i]Slumber Clause[/i].
The game is a throwback to classic text adventures, with modern choice and narrative mechanics piled on top. And it's extremely, totally, absolutely focused on story.
If you liked [i]Speed Dating for Ghosts[/i], you're probably going to like the heck out of this too. I'm going for a similar weird, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes spooky vibe, though this one will lean a little more spooky than even Spooky Peter.
Play as a recently-widowed paramedic mom battling a mean case of sleep paralysis. When you're not trying to hold your waking life together, you're navigating surreal dreams of unspeakable beauty and endless possibilities that always seem to end in tragedy.
All the while, a hooded figure stalks you. Collect clues to discover who they are and what they want.
You can read more about the game and demo the prologue for free here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/883240/Slumber_Clause/
If you are interested, please consider wishlisting the game. I'll be releasing it episodically using Steam's Early Access feature, so early supporters will get the best deal. <3
Thank you for your support with my ghost conversation sim. It's encouraged me to make more weird games that aren't like anything else out there, because I now know there's an audience of rad people who might want to play them.
👁❤️👻,
Ben
