I agree with Cassiebsg, I didn't see the character when I looked at the portrait, I just saw Mads Mikkelsen. Plus there is always a risk with copy-right issues and such when using real people as references.

Otherwise, it's a good-looking game that sounds like it could be a nice murder-mystery.

Lovecraft fans can forgive humour at the expense of the characters, but they will not forgive any cheap-shots at the mythos itself...

Weird, since Lovecraft himself made fun of his usual tropes with indescribable horrors in this short story.
I'm of the opinion that things can be funny while also being scary, it's just hard to pull off right.

It will be very interesting to see how this game turns out!

[1st place]

Sorry for the delay, but here are the results:


1st place, and the golden double-edged sword goes to Roccinator.


2nd place is shared by kconan and funnyboy044.


And 3rd place goes to DBoyWheeler.

I like the new tracks, even if the Ninja Game Intro felt more like something with a jungle theme to me.

Very slick intro cinematic, it felt like watching an animated movie!

Thank you so much for your votes everyone, and congratulations to Roccinator!

I remember the recent debacle of the YA book Handbook for Mortals, which was heavily criticized for tracing the cover image from a work by the artist Gill Del Mace without giving credit. Giving credit to where credit is due is very important and I hope you can get a permission from the artist of the 3D render. As someone making digital art and graphics myself I would be upset if someone used my artwork commercially without asking for permission or giving me credit.

I agree with Slasher in using original art.
In the future I would suggest seeking permission to use pictures and looking up copyright rules before using them as references, and try to use public domain works or photos you have taken yourselves as much as possible. With photos of people, unless you use photos of public figures or public domain photos, you should either ask the people depicted for permission to use their likeness, or as others have mentioned, change the clothes and faces enough that they aren't immediately recognizable.

It's fantastic to see how well the animation and dialogue flow together, it looks awesome!
Also, is the couple an American Gothic reference?

A prison escape? How exciting!

The characters and artstyle is nice and simple, but I think it would look better with a little more contrast between the colors, especially with the skin and hair on the first character.

I just bought Neofeud off Steam, it will be exciting to finally play it after following the development for so long!

Thank you so much for your votes everyone!
It's funny that my entry won when I deliberately set out to do the most tacky 90s design imaginable.

Congratulations, great to see you made it!

Very nice new tracks!

Congratulations, how adorable!

Looks scary, but intriguing!

The latest GIF looks cool!
Plus I immediately came to think about this scene from the Simpsons!

So, Anne Boleyn is replaced by a robot? Sounds fun!

I'm currently working on my entry with Creamy, but there isn't much to show yet.

One other thing which breaks my immersion is when you see someone die, and the camera cuts to their tombstone standing just outside their estate. Instead of being sad I just can't help but think about all the bureaucracy and paperwork their loved ones have to go through to get a permit to bury someone outside of a graveyard or dedicated crypt.

Not to mention that for hundreds of years, being buried in soil that wan't blessed by the church was considered a horrible fate among Christians, (criminals were often punished after their death by not being allowed to be buried in a cemetery), so this is extra weird when you see this in movies set in a historical period. But it's not just in Christianity, nearly all cultures that aren't nomads have special burial grounds so that you have all dead relatives gathered in one place to bring flowers and offerings and so forth. Then there is the fact that if you bury a body in the wrong place you risk having it polluting the groundwater, so there are many practical reasons that you can't just bury a dead loved one wherever you want. (Both my parents work in the archaeological field, so they've pointed this out to me a few times.)
