Dev Log #5: Extended Demo OUT NOW!

My Alien Roommate
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

1. Extended Demo 
2. Rebranding to Purple Herring Games
3. TikTok
4. Trailer

Extended Demo

The Extended Demo is out NOW on both itch.io and Steam! Finish the rest of Chapter One with an extra 1-2 hours of gameplay (again, dependent on reading speed).

This will be the last publicly released content for My Alien Roommate until the full game comes out. To keep playing My Alien Roommate until then, you'll have to back the Beta Tester tier on Kickstarter or above to be able to play beta updates for the game as it's being worked on (and have the ability to give feedback for it!).

The Extended Demo also comes with new updates, such as:

  • added ability to customize Riley's pronouns
  • added a CG gallery and Achievements screen
  • disabled the SFX when characters speak (I may bring this back if I can create a separate option to disable it for those who don't like it)

The 4 main characters (except Enoch) also have birthdays now! 

Can you guess who each birthday belongs to? (The answer is in the Extended Demo, if you can find it...)

Rebranding

I've decided to rebrand from WholesomeWraith to Purple Herring Games. It's a name that I've sat on for a while now and I think it's a good option moving forward with the Kickstarter. My dev name will still be Wraith tho :3

Check out the logo designed for me by Bakjwi Namja!

You can contact me at either wholesomewraith@gmail.com or purpleherringgames@gmail.com. The name change is also reflected in my social media.

TikTok
