- Premise -

When Haru was 5 years old, she woke up in the middle of the woods. Without any previous memories, all alone. The only things she remembers are her first name and a song - a lullaby that's stuck in her head.

One night, 10 years later, she awakens to the sound of the familiar song being sung and follows it, into the town near the orphanage she lives in. But when she gets there, the town is... changed. Not like Haru remembers.

And when she tries to leave, she can't.

The main objective of this game is to get back to the orphanage and try to get Haru's memories back along the way.

You are born a blank canvas. Ready to be painted - and tainted. After all, memories make you who you are. You are born without opinions, fears, aspirations and dreams. Only living life, making memories forms you, molds you.
But... what if, one day... you lost them?
... Who are you then?

- Some Notes -


Lullaby is my very first try at making a horror game (Or, well, any game at all), using RPG Maker VX Ace.
I am a huge fan of many other RPG-Maker horror games - and I am determined to make a decent good one myself.

If you like my game(s), I would appreciate it a lot if you considered buying me coffee or buying the game on itch.io.

100+ Downloads on RMN! & I'm taking a small break

Hello everyone!

I can't believe it, Lullaby reached 100+ downloads here on rmn!
Thank you so so much for playing my game... I am honestly kind of speechless. It legit means the world to me!
To be honest, I never would have thought that so many people would download (and hopefully play!) my game.
It's a little hard to wrap my head around.

While Lulaby still is very much my baby and passion project, I have realized I have a lot to learn about game making still (which is to be expected, since this is my first attempt at making a game).
Everyone's feedback has been really helpful, and though it is still a little nerve-wracking, I appreciate your constructive criticism a lot.

I already know that I am going to be able to use a lot of the feedback given to me for any future projects!

Also, as far as I can tell, Lullaby is pretty well received(?) over on itch.io.

There, I have reached almost 80 downloads - which is amazing! - and there has been a lot of helpful feedback too.
(I even received two ratings, one of which came with a written review that made me tear up - in a positive way.)

I noticed that a lot of people (from what I've seen on itch.io at least) seem to have trouble with the font used in the game. So I decided to add in a little README text file and also put more details into the instructions that are shown before the intro, to avoid any confusion.
Hopfefully that will help.

I honestly can't thank you enough for all of your help and support!
I know I keep repeating myself, but it is true.

With that being said, I think I should take a step back and take a small break from the internet, at least when it concerns Lullaby.

Lullaby is a project that is deeply personal to me.
I always thought the best way for me to deal with past experiences is to channel them into creativity - which I did with my game.
So it makes me especially happy that Lullaby's story seems to resonate with a lot of people!

But I am noticing that I am starting to obsess over it.

I'm checking youtube, twitter, rmn and itch.io multiple times a day (which to some degree is probably normal when you publish a game) and it's always on my mind in some way, even if I am doing something unrelated.
I don't want it to get to the point of it affecting my mental health negatively, so I think I just need a little bit of distance for now.

It's not that big of a deal, but I just wanted to let you all know in case I miss something or don't answer messages.

And that's pretty much all I wanted to say.

Thanks for reading and as always, I hope you'll have an amaying day. Take care of yourselves.

Thank you so much! (I really love your nick name lmao)
OMG I just realized I forgot to give my artist credit on the page - and just mentioned her in a blog post. The art is actually by the wonderful niwa.

Well, she has amazing art and I hope she can deliver more amazing pieces for your little game! >_<)b
You will excuse me for being a messenger of bad omens, but I must tell you that you must change the name of your project, because there is already a Latin game that came out long ago with this name. put the name by google and you will notice.

You're magical to me.

There is no rule that two games can't have the same name. It happens a lot even in the professional world, and with a name as common as Lullaby, it's no surprise that this might happen.

I don't think any action is necessary at this point. If SoulsMindPalace really wants to differentiate, just adding a subtitle, like "Lullaby: Lost Memories" or something would be enough, but I don't think it's a real problem either way.

I wasn't aware of the fact!
Thanks for telling me, but (and I am sorry if that comes off as rude) I really don't like how you said I "must" change the name.
Tbh, I don't think it should be a problem, because as far as I can tell the other game is in Spanish and mine is in English. And beaides the name they have nothing in common..?
Like it's easy to tell them apart on language alone.

Thanks, unity. I will consider giving it a subtitle.

They told me I was mad when I said I was going to create a spidertable. Who’s laughing now!!!

Given that the other game is like seven years old and in another language, I feel like it's probably not that big a deal, and a subtitle is all that's needed.

Thank you, Sooz.
I'll think about adding a subtitle. As it is, the game is far from being finished anwyways - so I still have some time to decide.
