The Groom of Gallagher Mansion — Development News 05/01/23

If you've been following our social media pages, you might have caught a whiff of another project we've been developing on the side...

"Even death won't do us part," Elias Gallagher — the ghost of a man you've just met — mutters. He's resigned to unhappiness, but perhaps you hold the key to breaking his curse... if you're so inclined.

In a bid to stop the Occult History and Sciences Investigation Club (that's the OHSIC, and don't you forget it!) from losing funding, President Taylor Potts and you, the Vice President, have got to find a way to attract new members somehow. And what better way to prove that the club still has value to the campus board than to prove that ghosts really do exist? Dressed in some exquisite wedding attire and armed with a rose and earpiece, you're marched right up to the old Gallagher Mansion, a site of some grisly murders circa early 1900s, to trick a dead man into thinking that you too were abandoned at the altar.

Will you find glory and fame, riches and spoils? Or perhaps this whole thing is a lot more than you bargained for and you'll actually fall in love with a ghost...

The Steam page for The Groom of Gallagher Mansion has gone public for wishlisting! We've been developing TGoGM while Biscuit and the rest of the main Something's Wrong With Sunny Day Jack team do their thing, and if you enjoy what the current SDJ demo has to offer, we're sure you'll enjoy this spooky romp of a romcom.

I am so exited, also the friend(who obviously likes MC) is a love interest!? He can not even begin to hope to compare to the greatness of Elias!

love your art and everything, can't wait till this comes out!

Can't wait to play this! :D

Whoops, sorry for the missing sentence! Our copypaste must have gotten eaten somewhere.

The post was originally supposed to say "the entire script is complete", and as of now it is in a playable state. Scene direction with more sprite expressions, music, SFX, and voice acting is being worked on now!

That is very cool to learn, I’m looking forward to seeing everything come together.

Howdy! hope this message finds you well

I´m writing becaues i seam to have som issues with the extended demo of something is wrong with sunny day jack. You see, it doesn´t allow me to save my progress and whenever i leave my computer i have to go through the entire thing, which while i do enjoy, i find it quite repetitive over time. I was wondering if it was because it was the demo or maybe its an actuall issue with the game. 

As always spectacular work and i can´t wait for the finished version. Send kisses to Jack ;) and i sure hope you have a spledid day or night.

Love, Wdseane.

Hi there WDseane,

We've been seeing all of the comments asking about how to save in the current TyranoBuilder demo, but due to that engine's instability, the save feature was removed. When the new Unity demo is released, these features will be added back into the game. We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience with us!
