Question about the Steam-limited Halloween-Event:
Why not just built it into the Game and have it available during Halloween Day(s)? So, it could only be unlocked during Halloween-Days and you wouldn't need to care about up-loading and then removing it all over again?

It would have added days to the development time to try to force something that would work on Itch.  Maybe next year.

Alright, I was just thinking about a way to de-couple it from Steam and putting it in as a timed event with a trigger from system-time seemed relatively easy.

Well, now you'll have almost a whole year time to do so anyway. I love the Game already as it is so far, but - you know - extra "treats"/"eye-candy" is always wel(l)cum ;oP

Do you know if that's something you can do on Ren'Py?  (I'm not the programmer, so my knowledge is limited.)

It seems possible with the use of Python - according to the answers in this Ren'Py-Reddit:

And here on stack-overflow it's even written out a little more precisely already (haven't tried it myself though, but shouldn't be too much of a problem)

Cheers and hope that helps
