What kind of game is this?
It's a puzzle adventure game with horror elements to it. There will be no battles in it, however there will be sequences where you have to flee from something.

So it's like Ao Oni?
In a sense, yes. I won't pretend there isn't inspiration from Ao Oni in this. However, there will be key differences between the two, mostly in regards to the story.

What kind of horror is this exactly?
It's going for a surreal kind of horror. There is some strange imagery to it but I'd say most of the horror actually comes from the audio design. Let's just say I've been having a lot of fun playing around with sounds in Goldwave and Audacity >;D Over all though, I'd liken it more to having the feeling of a strange nightmare, rather than it being a creature feature of sorts.

Is there a reason for the visual style or are you just trying to be artsy and pretentious?
There is a reason for it. I won't say what though :3

What is the story of this game?
As I've said before I don't want to reveal a lot about the story. I will reveal that it takes place in a person's mind, and in case your wondering no this will not be a rip off of Inception, so there won't be any kind of limbo. It is going to be fairly ambiguous though and open to interpretation. I do have a "correct interpretation", but what I really want is something that people can come to their own conclusions on, and when they do I'd absolutely love to see what people come up with :D

How long will this game be?
Way too early to tell now, but like any puzzle game it mostly depends on how quickly you figure out the puzzles. I'm sure it will be quite possible to finish the game in around 10-15 minutes if you know exactly what to do.

How hard will the puzzles be?
I'm trying to not make the puzzles too difficult. To this end I've been beta testing quite a bit and watching how well people are able to figure it out, and will continue to do so as I move along in development.

When will this be released?
Sometime in late July is what I'd guess, but any number of factors can change that.

When will you make the profile page look better?
When I remember CSS more D:
