“THERE IS NO NIGHTMARE IN DAYBREAK. THE CITY IS ABSOLUTELY FINE. PLEASE FORGET THAT IT EVER EXISTED.”
Weird and unfortunate things are happening in the city of Daybreak. To the rest of the world, the city seems to have simply vanished, but inside, it has become a playground for mysterious beings who see humans only as hosts for their own amusement.
Alicia’s a bit strange. She still likes to wear her old baseball jersey, even though her team disbanded over a year ago. She can see otherworldly creatures that no one else seems to notice. She also has weird powers that she keeps hidden from the rest of the world. But when she receives a call for help from her niece in Daybreak, she’ll do anything to save her.
Caught up in the struggle along with Alicia are Miriam, a secretary and gun aficionado who only wants to escape the city, Lamar, an overworked middle school English teacher, and Dottie, Alicia’s niece, who has been captured for some nefarious purpose.
Explore what’s left of the ravaged city and find your way through surreal otherworldly areas that connect the broken urban shell. Encounter any other citizens who have survived and make contact with the strange entities that now inhabit this realm. Survive. Or be swallowed up by the city and forgotten forever.
Controller Support: If you'd like to play this game with a controller rather than the keyboard, then press F1 while the game is running and select the "Gamepad" option. From there it should allow you to remap the controls to your controller.
I know not every controller works with RPG Maker but I've gotten both a wired XBox One controller and the wireless 8BitDo controller to work with it, just from my own experience.
Window Size: You can double the window size by pressing F6, or go fullscreen by pressing F5.
Warnings: Game contains flashing lights and swearing.
Content Warnings: *sorta-spoilers?*

NOW ON STEAM! Weird and Unfortunate RELEASE!
unity
Click here to see Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening's STEAM PAGE!!!!
I finally pushed that big shiny launch button over on Steam, and now Weird and Unfortunate is up there and available to play, still for free!
I go by Sapphire Dream games over on Steam as a bit of rebranding, as I've been struggling for a while with the fact that "unity" is easily confused with the game making engine and I couldn't think of a way to remix it to sound unique.
This is my first game on Steam so I'm hoping I did everything right, but all my testing with the achievements and everything seemed to work, so fingers' crossed!
Huge thank you to everyone who wishlisted the game and promoted it on Twitter and itch and elsewhere! I really appreciate it!
Would you like to see any other of my games on Steam? I've already started tweaking Luxaren Allure for a possible Steam release, but we'll see how that goes.
Thanks again everyone!!! :DDDDDDDDDD

CloseI DID THE SAME THING ON TRANSCEND DO U GUYS REMEMBER? i feel better now
Yes!
I DID THE SAME THING ON REMNANTS OF ISOLATION DO U GUYS REMEMBER?
No. lol
(Technically I can review Transcend though :P)
I was wondering if something weird and unfortunate was happening with that download link. I was actually excited. :P

Sorry about that XD You'll have to wait a little while longer (it'll hopefully be worth it, tho! :DDDDD )

Sorry, I do not remember that at all! I'm not sure when I subscribed to it, though.

...Possibly? It's a very vague memory.
*Edit: Ratty, that is the best joke for this situation.

Hmm... Well, I already downloaded the demo anyway, but I can't seem to access the download now even though I'm a tester...
EDIT: Nvm, I can still access the download link via the PM you sent me, unity, but it's strange that I can't find any download in the Downloads tab of this page...

I just realized that I think making me a tester on the on the 'staff' knocked me out of being an artist in the Others section. o;

It's weird how that works. You'd think that testers could access the Testers Only download without having to be given a direct link, but for some reason that's not the case.

I have reinstated you as "Artist." Yeah, it doesn't seem to let people be both ^^;;

This website underestimates my abilities ;D
Hehe, totally. :D
Interestingly, "Tester" and "Other" give the same share of Makerscore, it seems.

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

This seems like something for the Site Bugs thread or something.
Just got through the demo.
This was definitely weird, but I was fortunate to get a hold of this! /badjokes
This game is great overall. I almost felt like Alicia and the Miriam kind of blended in together, since they both have very casual, swear-heavy dialogue minus the fact that Miriam has a bit more survival instincts, otherwise I like where the story is going at this point.
Aside from that, why did the encounter bar change from red to yellow sometime before the first actual boss fight? Was it supposed to affect something?
All in all, I enjoyed it! I wonder what the special code I got will be useful for. :D

It changes from red to yellow after you've won a bunch of fights in an area. When this happens, monsters get afraid of you and are reluctant to attack.

Thanks! I need to work harder on making distinct characters in the future. I meant for them to be pretty different, but they ended up being more similar than I meant. Alicia's a big old goofball in normal life, but with Dottie on the line she became a lot more serious (and swear-y, as she's not happy at all about the situation) and that puts her and Miriam into feeling less distinct. Hopefully things with improve when Lamar is added to the mix, and I'll try to get better at making characters that stand out from each other.

Yeah, like piano said, after you fight enough in an area, the enemies are wary of you, the encounter bar turns yellow, and the encounter rate decreases dramatically. That way backtracking won't be too much of a pain even if you've used all the wisps of light in an area.

I'm glad! ^_^ The title you get at the end of the game depends on how many secrets you found.
Either I didn't notice this at all during my playtesting, but, I think I found a bit of an Easter Egg with this demo.
There's a wall in Daybreak that has writing on it that starts out with "Has anyone seen", followed by, presumably, someone in the credits, then a "?". So far, I've seen Red_Nova, Ratty, LockeZ, Geoff, and... Marrend.
I'm not sure how many variations there are on this, but, it's both cute and a great way to do a shout-outeven if I completely missed it the first time.

Hehe! :D
Yep, Easter Egg found! There are the names of nine different people on there that can show up at random! I will be making another set as a shout-out to testers and anyone else I missed on the first one who has helped with the project ^_^

I think on my playthrough it said Ratty! Interesting to know that it's randomized in that one spot. I thought maybe names here hidden elsewhere and I missed them.
'Pop goes the World' remians my favourite of all the graffiti though~!

I'll be repeating that event in a few spots later in the game so there'll be more chances for shout-outs :D I may make some unchanging graffiti as shout-outs, too, in the future :DDDDD
Wait wait wut!? I didn't notice the Easter egg thing, nor that I was mentioned somewhere. D:
BTW That's an interesting thing you mentioned about the Special Title. I got "ACE SPECIAL HUNTER." What does that mean?

I'll take a screencap of it and PM it to you :)

That's the best title. It means you found all the big secrets and that you are awesome :D
