It's been a while, but we wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Remember to stay safe out there. Stick with your friends, break the candy before biting it, carry at least a flashlight, and let someone else know your location in case of emergencies.

Still a good bit of edge case testing to go - but joining a game that's already in progress is technically working!! #kyoukai #indiegamedev #godot

Big swath of icons today - rooms now show their status clearly, and a toggle to allow watchers in your room has been added too! If a no-watchers room has two players seated, it disappears from the room list. #kyoukai #indiegamedev

A watcher in Kyoukai shows a full understandable game state by just receiving packets with minimal allowed inputs. How did I not realize that very watcher mode is simply all a replay needs to be? Holy crap I think kyoukai's problem list is CLEARED!

Our studio aims to make cozy games and horror/thriller twists with a certain vibe we call "baffling whimsy!" After seeing so many games with emotional impact—lots of love, sadness, anger—we want to be the space in between those games, the downtime for players to recharge and laugh at absurdity.
