Game design + Progress update
Hey there! It's been a while since the last update, but here I am now :D
This was originally going to be posted on my itch.io but since its acting up again, I'm posting here. At this rate, spacehey might become my main TT
Before I start, here are some things you should check out

You guys should really do this one 🙏 Knowing your thoughts on my project would help!
Alright, now the actual update:
Word count (all across script): ~18,671 words
Previously: ~12,761
Day 2 progress:
Did some refinements of the script like tweaking and adding more to the MC's narration cut some scenes and moved them to other in-game days
Adaliah's DM + video call scene is in the works
Added more things to Sera's video call scene
Upcoming Features
I think it's about time I start talking about the in-game features that are most likely coming.
Also if you're curious — there's already a playable version, but it's in veerryy..... alpha stage. It's on hold for now though, since I shifted focus to finishing the script and characters first. Better to lock those down now than have to redo everything later
Anyway here's what I planned:
- Select what kind of killer you are, who you target, your signature weapon, and your moniker
There's already a screenshot shown on the game's main page! Depending on what you choose, it affects the story in a way, endings locked behind different types of killer, and gain different perks. For example, choosing your MC to be a vigilante your sanity loss would reduce.
"Oh but wouldn't it be smarter to go random?" yes, and that's exactly why I'm saving that option for later in the game. Going random will unlock even bigger story changes, so I want to make sure it's done right.
- Sanity meter
The classic one. Your sanity meter changes based on what you do, how many victims you've killed, how you choose your MC to think because that's when they're being their true self.
There'll also be consequences on having a low sanity meter:
The UI shifts (or in other words, it'll look different)
Dialogue options that look normal but then it comes out quite creepy
The LIs would get concerned once you're visibly insane
You might also accidentally expose yourself... 👀
- Access to the dark web
This feature might be your new best friend if you're choosing to be a hitman
There's a social media for other serial killers to post and that means you can do it as well
Pay for dark web services such as tracking someone, get others personal information, blow up routers... and probably more
An online shop that sells... lethal stuff
Some "special" websites that can only be accessed depending on what kind of serial killer you are
There's actually a LOT more in my list but that's all I'm sharing for now! (There's literally like 1,953 words)
What was your favorite so far? I'd like to know!
