why would they release ON halloween, I don't play horror games in November lmao
Well, most people- especially those who are already fans of the game- probably don't have the same super strict, self imposed rule where they refuse to play a whole genre of games outside the month of October lmao.
Though honestly, horror is more of a tone that VotV carries as opposed to it's base genre. It's a lot more of an "immersive sim" with some horror theming than a straight horror game. So good news, you CAN still enjoy it the rest of the year too!!
?? ..Idol? I don't...know them? At all? I just think the game is really neat...you don't find a lot of openform imsim-adjacent horror games. It's neat, to me. Not really idolizing the team responsible
Regardless! I wasn't being hostile- passive aggressively or otherwise. Mostly just kind of amused, attempting to poke a little humor- not taking this as a serious matter or w/e. Just noting that it seemed silly, to me, and that it doesn't really have to keep you from playing the next build, if you're really that excited about it! Like a 'haha, good news- its *technically* more like this than that, so you totally *could* still play it!' ..not like, a vicious personal attack.. lol oops
I mean, I guess the genre bit wasn't mean to be humorous? That was legitimately supposed to provide some clarification, because I know it's kind of one of those lesser-known 'weirdo' genres that most people don't know or talk about a lot, but it's a genre that I (a weirdo) really enjoy. Sorry that didn't come through, apparently. If I knew it was going to cause this much offense, I wouldnt have bothered lol. Soo My bad, I hope things get better soon!
I assume it’s so that they have most time to get the update into a state they are happy with before release, while also still leaving the players with enough time to experience the Halloween event in the newer version.
I’m pretty sure the last Halloween update was very rushed to get it out on time, so the least they could do is try to get this one out on time without rushing it.
