Really enjoyed playing this! lots of scary moments and really good pixel art that was super creepy! I just saw the announcement for a sequel cannot wait gonna be good if this is anything to go off of! Best of Luck! Also I missed getting my tongue cut out lol rip but seeing all the other endings and puzzles was pretty good!
The sequel is about 75% done, and it's absolutely insane, I can't wait to release it! I'll probably share a few preview screenshots soon. But everyone is back with new designs, new death animations, new creepy situations and many surprises
I wouldn't have a problem with that, I welcome all translations. However, you should keep in mind the following:
1) you would do it for free? Or are you offering localization services?
2) this game is made in Rpg Maker Mz. The files are encrypted and I don't share the project with anyone. I would have to send you a text file with all the text in the game, then you would send it back to me, I'd put your translated text in the game and upload the Turkish translation crediting you as the translator
This is exactly what I am talking about. Here are your answers:
1) Yes. Completely for free. We will be translating your game into Turkish for free. We are 5 people.
2) Yes. We only want the text file nothing more. Additionally, if it is possible, we want to see our names in Credits. This is because some LPS companies want to check if our CV and the game's Credits sections are consistent.
Also, we would kindly ask how many words are there in the game? This will be decide the time because we have another project we have to make.
We can discuss further details via e-mail: info@thetaloc.com
Yes, I would obviously put your names in the credits, that's a given.
I don't really know the number of words because I have to write everything in a text file (directly from the game into the text file) , and it might take a while because I'm quite busy with the sequel and other non videogame related projects. But once I have news, I'll let you know
hello, I'm playing your game now, it's pretty simple English, but I would like to translate the game into Russian, I'll be glad if you send the text file to me too
Was very fun to play! And knowing this is a homage to old 80's B-movies makes a lot of the "creative liberties" make more sense. I'd like to see what else you come up with in the future. :)
Watched kubz scouts play! Enjoyed the maze-like aspect and overall diversity of scenery! SOUNDTRACK WAS DANK! Will look forward to more games by you! Boo on the other comments, loved the design of Alesa, wheres the NSFW booty patch hahaha! -Til Next Time
I knew Greta's ending wouldn't be a happy one thanks to her other side, but I still wish there was one ending where you can escape with her and live... you just kinda gotta feel bad for the abused and lonely gal who's murderous against her own will.
Gratuitous fanservice aside, though, this game's pretty neat. I love the variety of options, especially being able to go the whole game without a tongue. Twins feel kinda underused though tbh, they basically just exist to be an instant kill option.
If you revisit the concept, my recommendation would be to leave Mr. Bob dead. Run with the idea that Mr. Bob spends a lot of time out of the house (the Wife says as much), and therefore this wasn't his only family. There's probably nightmare houses like this scattered in multiple places, and I doubt all of them (or their inhabitants) were destroyed when Mr. Bob went down.
Also, unless I'm mishearing it, the 'good' ending has a knock at the door while Alesa is in the gratuitous shower (heh, the showering thing gets me chuckling). We fade to black before we see who's there. I'd like to think that it's not the usual "SHIA SURPRISE! HE'S NOT DEAD!" swerve, but somebody showing up (like the FBI) to let her know that she's not crazy and they do believe her. Let the girl have some closure, she's earned it.
Hello! Unfortunately, I can't leave Mr. Bob dead (at least for now) because he's the driving force behind the plot. But I really like your suggestion about other families! Although I initially wanted the good ending to be open, I've determined that the knock at the door was actually Jack who was checking up on Alesa to see if everything was okay. And there's a reason why: I'm already working on a sequel, where Alesa will get real closure and I'll tie up loose ends.
This game is absolutely amazing! I love everything about it! From the sound effects to the story! Literally everything about it and I played it for like, 2 hours trying to get all the endings! Can't wait for more (possible) content from you!
I am enjoying this game, I haven't gotten into more than ending a and b yet. I love it already. Can't wait to play more! MY main issue was not paying attention to where the save places were! haha. Great game.
What I liked about this game: very unique art style for RPG Maker, a scary house full of murderous weirdos that recalls both the SNES Clock Tower game and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Was full of some good scares too with the eccentric cast of characters.
What I didn't like: I wish that the body horror didn't feel so male-gazey and fetishized though. Alesa is forcibly stripped with gratuitous body shots, multiple shower scenes, and much of the horror she is subjected to feels like a kink (e.g.: ero guro). I know it's just a fictional horror game, but also what kind of social worker would take a shower with someone she just rescued from a nightmare housing situation?
Thanks for your feedback! Clock Tower and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre were some of my main inspirations!
I've already addressed the partial nudity issue in a comment/blog post, so feel free to read it.
Regarding the question of what kind of social worker takes a shower with a creepy deformed 22 year old tongueless woman she just met in a house full of horrors after experiencing nightmarish events at the hands of a demonic entity with reality warping powers and his freaky family....the answer is quite simple: the best social worker in the world!

Hell yeah the best social worker in the world indeed! Of course she had to take a shower after all that blood.
Okay, time to address the elephant in the room: partial nudity and sexualization.
I just wanted to represent how over the top the 80's horror films were because, as you can probably tell, this is supposed to be a homage to 80's B-horror films (and they certaintly had a good amount of unnecessary showers, lack of clothing, etc). But I also wanted to show that, despite being humilliated and how vulnerable she might have looked, Alesa was a very strong person determined to overcome all these obstacles and escape (that's why she gets a shotgun and kills her tormentors).
It seems some people feel offended by these issues. If that's the case, or if Alesa's sprites ruined your experience/made you feel uncomfortable, I apologize for that. Perhaps I should have added a SFW mode, a censorship option, a different costume option or something like that. I'll definitely keep that in mind for my future games. However, I also understand that everyone is entitled to their oppinion and their preferences and that it's impossible to please everyone. So I guess in the end it boils down to: if this is not (or you believe it might not be) your cup of tea, you shouldn't play it. And always pay attention to the content warnings. On the other hand, if this is the type of content you expected and you enjoyed it...that' great and I'm happy for that!
Also, this game wasn't supposed to be taken seriously. I had a lot of laughs while I made it (it's too damn cheesy and some events don't make sense at all. And Alesa's legs look like chicken legs)
بعد انتهائي من المذاكرة فتحت يوتيوب واكتشفت لعبتك!مثيرة جدًا واعتبرت اكتشافها مثل مكافأة لي لأني استمتعت بها وأحببتها، بعض النهايات غير متوقعة بالنسبة لي
I really enjoyed your game, it's very well done! The OST and the design of the sprites of the characters also gave me Lisa vibes, in a positive sense xD
Wow! I feel honored! Thank you so much! I wouldn't say it's a 10/10 though, hahaha. I still have a lot to learn as a dev, and I definitely should have done more with the family members (and I feel Mr. Bob was underused). But still, it makes me really happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you! And great video! :)
trusted greta too many times... i dont know if its intetional, maybe im reading too much, but she kinda resembles alesa, killing her sounds like a methaphor for alesa leave her trauma behind, not getting stuck to a shadow of her past
anyway loved the game, the graphics are very unique, cant wait to see the next works!
Another great piece of grotesque and surreal horror by A. V. Dossow, you are truly getting better with each game, this one actually got me scared for a hot second there.
The story is really good as usual and the fact that is pseudo grounded on things that COULD happen makes it more unnerving. The main character this time around was really likable which ended up making things...worse, specially with the abundance of choices we can make and the consequences...(I loved the multiple endings and choices!)
Ending E: get the shotgun, kill the twins, kill the mother, kill Greta. Go to the second floor, to the stairs near the family pictures. It should take you to Mr. Bob's room
Ending F: get the shotgun, kill the family, but also have the ball and the holy candle in your inventory, and watch the videotape in the studio room (one of the rooms in the hallway where you were captured by the mother). Then go to Mr. Bob's room
When you watch the video tape, little Alesa says: "I want a new family, I want a new house". Mr. Bob was the one who recorded that video and wanted to grant Alesa her wish: a new house/family for Alesa.
I would say he's a demonic entity with limited reality warping powers who is obssesed with Alesa. His ultimate goal seems to be to turn Alesa into an amorphous blob and be with her forever...or at least until he gets bored of her and looks for another victim.
The inside of the house is actually in a different plane, that's why the police can't find anything.
I'm not sure myself though. And Mr. Bob might return in some of my next projects, who knows...

Hello Alex, is there any way where I can communicate with you? I wanna ask you something.
What is it about?
I want to translate the game into Turkish voluntarily if this is not a problem for you. Just for my CV.
I wouldn't have a problem with that, I welcome all translations. However, you should keep in mind the following:

Sure, I wouldn't have a problem with that! I can send it to you too once I have it ready. Just leave an email so I can send it to you
This game was INCREDIBLE. I had so much fun with it! I can't wait to get the other three endings and I am so excited for the sequel! Greta for life!
Wow thank you so much! Loved your playthrough! : D
Greta is going to have a more prominent role in the sequel and she might finally find happiness!
holy shit this game is so freaky but in a good way
Haha thank you!
Was very fun to play! And knowing this is a homage to old 80's B-movies makes a lot of the "creative liberties" make more sense. I'd like to see what else you come up with in the future. :)
Thank yo so much! : D I have a lot of games planned for the future
Watched kubz scouts play! Enjoyed the maze-like aspect and overall diversity of scenery! SOUNDTRACK WAS DANK! Will look forward to more games by you! Boo on the other comments, loved the design of Alesa, wheres the NSFW booty patch hahaha! -Til Next Time
Thank you so much!I honestly never thought people would like the soundtrack since it was so strange hahaha.
If you loved Alesa's design, wait till you see her new design in the sequel hahaha
Thank you so much for playing and the video! Great playthrough, it was really fun to watch! : D
I'm already working on a sequel!

Thank you so much! : D
Yes, I agree. The family was underused, especially the twins, but that'll be fixed in the upcoming sequel! And Greta might finally get a happy ending
A sequel?! :O Hype

I made a video if anyone would like to see:
Thank you so much for playing and for your comments! Great video! : D
Watched somebody play through the entire game (Manlybadasshero), my first thought the next day when I remembered it was: "Oh yeah, that lewd game?" 💀
hahahhaha
Finally, a game for all the fellow guro enthusiasts. God bless you for making a game that contained half my f-list. Godspeed
You're welcome!

Thank you! Cool video, really funny!
I really enjoyed your game, it's very well done!
The OST and the design of the sprites of the characters also gave me Lisa vibes, in a positive sense xD
Thank you so much!
I love Lisa: the Painful, so I guess I was partly inspired by it
Oh my god, ending E must be my favorite. The developer took "don't let them know your next move" to another level. Loved the game!!
Thank you so much! :D
Nevermind it said in the intro :)
Hey you guys are there any jumpscares? Just wondering
Is there anywhere i can listen to the soundtrack alone? I really like the main hallway music and the eerie feeling it gives
Hello! I just uploaded the soundtrack. The main hallway music is called "Humanitarian" (track 5)
oh you are so amazing. thank you so much!
Great playthrough! Thank you so much! : D
🤍AMAZING GAME🖤
I cannot express how much I enjoyed playing it. I love the art style, the characters, and the story! 10/10! This game is so criminally underrated.Wow! I feel honored! Thank you so much! I wouldn't say it's a 10/10 though, hahaha. I still have a lot to learn as a dev, and I definitely should have done more with the family members (and I feel Mr. Bob was underused). But still, it makes me really happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you! And great video! :)
never mess with a social worker
trusted greta too many times... i dont know if its intetional, maybe im reading too much, but she kinda resembles alesa, killing her sounds like a methaphor for alesa leave her trauma behind, not getting stuck to a shadow of her past
anyway loved the game, the graphics are very unique, cant wait to see the next works!
Wow that's an amazing interpretation! I hadn't thought of that! But it actually makes a lot of sense. Nice!
Thank you! : D
This game could blow up and lore could def be abundant.
In hindsight, I think the family is underused, specially Mr. Bob. But I could bring back the family (or just Mr. Bob) in another game, who knows!
Excellent game! Had an issue with the piano not picking up the combination but otherwise amazing!
Thank you so much!
I hope you still managed to complete the puzzle despite the problem with the piano keys
yep! we got all 6 endings. Rec'ed to my other streamer friends. Can't wait to see what you make in the future.
Thank you so much! : )
The story is really good as usual and the fact that is pseudo grounded on things that COULD happen makes it more unnerving. The main character this time around was really likable which ended up making things...worse, specially with the abundance of choices we can make and the consequences...(I loved the multiple endings and choices!)
And that message after Game Over...it hurts.
Keep up the good work!
Hikiyami Moriko, thank you so much for your feedback and your support! Your playthroughs with commentaries are not only awesome but also very helpful!
Macabre aesthetics and interesting history!
One of the coolest and most fun RPG maker horror games I've ever played!
Woow! Thank you so much for your words! Great playthrough! : D
hes back with another good game
les go
Very good game
Thank you so much! Great playthrough!
My pleasure
Yeah! I got all endings!
Awesome! :D
scary game
Thank you for playing! : )
***The game has been updated. Fixed some typos and now you don't need to watch the video tape to get ending F.
I must say, when I see how fast you're making your games - it's so inspiring!
Thank you so much! : D
I got endings from A to D, how to get other 2?
I found password, but what is it for? TvT
******SPOILERS*******
Ending E: get the shotgun, kill the twins, kill the mother, kill Greta. Go to the second floor, to the stairs near the family pictures. It should take you to Mr. Bob's room
Ending F: get the shotgun, kill the family, but also have the ball and the holy candle in your inventory, and watch the videotape in the studio room (one of the rooms in the hallway where you were captured by the mother). Then go to Mr. Bob's room
********************************************
Ok
Now I got all endings, but still don't understand - who's mister Bob? What's his connection with Alesa? And a lot more:>
When you watch the video tape, little Alesa says: "I want a new family, I want a new house". Mr. Bob was the one who recorded that video and wanted to grant Alesa her wish: a new house/family for Alesa.
I would say he's a demonic entity with limited reality warping powers who is obssesed with Alesa. His ultimate goal seems to be to turn Alesa into an amorphous blob and be with her forever...or at least until he gets bored of her and looks for another victim.
The inside of the house is actually in a different plane, that's why the police can't find anything.
I'm not sure myself though. And Mr. Bob might return in some of my next projects, who knows...
Oh, that's more or less what I suspected:) But why was he waiting 18 years?
again??!!! what the fI mean - new game, yeaahhhh!!!
