Sure!

Good news!There will be a demo this Halloween!

These screenshots belong to the third act of the game. A folk horror loosely based on "The Black Stone" by Robert E. Howard.
And the following to the fourth act where we can control Arthur Conan Doyle himself.

The Demo of An English Haunting is out now! Enjoy it!

newwaveburritos · Wed 01/11/2023 00:58:14

Just played through it and had a nice time doing so. Can't wait to finish it!

AndreasBlack · Wed 01/11/2023 14:37:07

Just played the demo, liked it. However i think i saw a grammar error it said "one our later". I think it was mean't to say "one hour later" probably? Apart from that it was interesting. I so wished for voices tho. Can't you use AI for voices? I'm doing that for my game, alltho it will double the amount of work for sure, but i would gladly do a voice or two if you need one! Some high quality Swe-English delivery

Postmodern Adventures · Wed 01/11/2023 16:38:58

@newwaveburritos I appreciate that you liked it!

@AndreasBlack Yes, I wrote "hour" without an H. I don't I don't know what I was thinking! It's fixed now. Thanks!
There are no plans to add voices with or without IA. Maybe one day!

SarahLiz · Thu 25/01/2024 21:34:37

I know I said something about it on the Steam page, but I'll reiterate it here: this game is amazing. Loved the demo--and looking forward (an understatement, really) to playing the full release in a few months!!

heltenjon · Sun 18/02/2024 21:33:49

The demo does the job - I was totally immersed in the setting and the story immediately. You really have a grip on the cinematics of the storytelling, and so far, all the characters have their own voices seen through their choice of words. Really impressive and a great demo.

Update the main post with the new trailer:

And mark your calendars to May 15th. The game will be released that day on Steam and Itch!
