Absolutely loved this game keep up the good and creepy work Yames your style is in a class of its own also here's my video with me failing to do a country accent horribly enjoy.
I think this, Water Womb World, and Discover My Body are your best works to date. You utterly NAIL the Lovecraftian sci-fi/supernatural combination, both in writing and in visuals/sound. I eagerly hope you make more games with a similar atmosphere- and even LONGER games :D
Played this and Growing my Grandpa (need to go through 2nd run yet though). Love them both but this one (probably since being a fan of lovecraft too) hit me incredibly. The bulbous pixelated masses match the sound design in such an unsettling and visceral fashion that makes you extremely immersed in the atmosphere trying to figure out whats on the screen (even if everything is distinguishable) literally drawing you inside the substance of the creepy palpable demonic presence in the game. The choice of what not to show is also very tasteful. It's an incredible experience worth every penny and more. Also kudos for the take on Lovecraftian aesthetic definetly not predictable and full of unsettling character (rare in lovecraft inspired media). big ups
When I noticed I could become a patreon that's the first thing I did, and you'll always be my first in that, Yames.
Nobody makes a game quite like Yames AND I love Lovecraft. A match made in heaven that works out perfectly in this medium. Can't wait to play the next secret game.
itch.io handles its transactions through either Stripe or Paypal and I don't have a Stripe account. You don't need to create an account for paypal in order to purchase tho, if that is your reason. If your reason is that you are bothered by using Paypal for ethical/moral reasons, at this time I don't have any other way I'm selling stuff, but I'm working on finding alternatives
yeah I'm sorry, I just don't want to use my card on a service i never used before, i hope you can come up with other ways for people to pay, thank you for your time :3
The objects and art looked like it was converted from an image rather than being drawn pixel by pixel, I was asking if you actually did use some sort of procedure to convert an image or if you just drew it as pixel art (which sounds like a painful process considering the amount of detail).
Oh yeah, definitely some of it was converted from images, a lot of the cutscenes were images that were edited and then color indexed so that they were converted into the two colors in the game (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indexed_color )most image editing software can do this but Aseprite can do it and also apply dithering patterns. then i go over and add details by hand

I see new Yames dropped, i dont feel right playing new Yames without playing old Yames.
Full Playthrough NO Commentary

fantastic job, very eerie & gives me lovecraftian vibes.
Nooo not the kitty :'(
Aside from that good stuff as always. I think ill become your patron. Cant wait to see what u come up with for a full-length 15/20-dollar game :)

Loved the art, can I ask how you were able to achieve that look?
thanks, but you're going to have to be more specific, the two programs I used the most in making the game are Aseprite and Blender
