When Winter and Giles arrive at an old, abandoned house in the middle of the frozen woods, hungry eyes stare them down.
At that time, going in seemed like the only option
The horrors of winter reveal the true nature of mankind, you're not alone, you're abandoned.

Wintertwined will be a narrative focussed, puzzle horror game.
You take control of Winter, a stubborn, people shy young adult, who's struggling to stay alive during an apocalypse. With the aid of Giles, Winter's parental guardian, they must work together to survive the night in the cabin.

In order to make it out alive, you'll have to solve puzzles and explore dangerous locations.

I'm only able to work on the game once a week, which is why progress might appear slow. This is my very first RPG-Maker Project and all the spritework for the game is original too, hence the slow progress.
I promise to update as much as possible!

Note: The game might be sold commercially later down the line, IF I deem the final product worthwhile. Unfortunately, I cannot make promises about that as of now.

Hi ya'll!
Fist of all, I want to thank all of you for cheking out the page, over 5000 pageviews! I can't believe it!

Here's a screenshot of Giles, You'll be able to play as him in certain parts of Wintertwined.
(He's holding a lighter to light up the dark and dirty room, This is a bit more obvious in-game I promise)

Some of you might know I teased a Demo in December, I have some bad news.
I'm postponing it, until I'm satisfied with game. So far, there have just been too many little bugs and audio issues that I have yet to resolve, and I'm afraid that opinions of Winertwined might be negative if these issues weren't resolved beforehand.
I also decided that the first playable build won't be made public for those reasons, I hope you'll understand.

I've been having a hard time lately getting the motivation to work hard on Wintertwined... And most creative stuff too.

When I do get around to doing something, like the Klonoa plush doll I made (See my twitter feed) I get so few comments or likes, it kinda feels as if nobody cares, which makes it so hard to then start working on something else.

The thing I hate the most, are these constant thoughts running through my head, that I must monetize everything I do, or else it's not worth all the time and effort it takes. And I know I shouldn't, Wintertwined is my passion project, I pour so much of myself into it, and I'm kinda scared it might not be all that great.

I guess it's the current extended lockdown, which hangs over us like a curtain of dread as well. Not being able to work my regular job, which I both love and miss, takes a massive toll on both my mental and financial stability.

I know I'm not the only one struggling with these feelings, which makes it a lot easier for me to accept it as is.

I just hope I get to keep making Wintertwined, with the love and passion I usually have.
Cause I'm not giving up, All the kind comments have pushed me to keep going, so once again:

Thank you all so, so much.
