Thanks so much for the kind comment, Zang! Glad you enjoyed. :)

Much appreciated, pamsdrabbles! Jett really did a fantastic job bringing “Chance” to life. Thanks for playing, and we’re glad you enjoyed!

Much appreciated, Walnut! Glad you enjoyed!

Howdy Snailsnip,

Thanks for the comment. Chance is not necessarily supposed to be a likeable character. Our intention was to let the player form their own opinion about him based on his--and the player's--actions in all four endings. As for him clonking the player over the head in 'every single scenario where you free him...' there is only one scenario where this happens. In a world of endless possibilities and player choice, who knows how it otherwise might play out? Unfortunately we only had 1k words to work with.

Anyway, we appreciate your input, and hope you'll keep an eye on our other projects. Thanks for playing!

Thank you so much, Lila! Glad you enjoyed. Jett really did a fantastic job bringing this pathetic rogue to life. :)

Thanks, Rainhet! Glad you enjoyed!

Much appreciated, cedes! Jett did a fantastic job giving this pathetic man a voice.

Thanks so much, aiainaine! We're aware of the issue, and it will be fixed in our upcoming patch. We're glad you enjoyed! Jett did an amazing job. :)

Much appreciated!! We're excited to be participating in the yaoi bundle. :)

Thanks so much for the kind comment, Cryptid. We hope you'll check out (and enjoy) some of our other works, as well. We've also got plenty upcoming, so keep an eye out!

Thank you so much!! We're glad you enjoyed. :)

Hello Zakaries,

Due to a number of reasons including personal events in the lives our small team, our current ongoing projects, and the difficulties we've had implementing steam achievements for games developed in Nanonovel, it is still a goal we'd like to accomplish at some point, but we have no projection for when we might be able to.

We're very sorry for the inconvenience... we understand steam achievements are important to a lot of our fans, and are still hopeful to achieve (ha) this in the future.

We also apologize for not responding via steam... there is currently no implementation for developers to receive notifications about comments, so it is rare for us to see them.

In the meantime, we hope you continue to enjoy our projects.

Thank you so much!! Our small team loves reading comments like this. We're thrilled you enjoyed. :)

Thanks lime/limeus! To get the good end (New Beginnings) you simply need to trust and be kind to the demon. Let us know if you're still having trouble!

Thank you so much! If you enjoyed TSBS, we definitely recommend checking out Nameless. It's a much longer investment, but well worth it!

Wow jynxxx101, thanks so much for the kind comment... it means a lot to our small team. We're thrilled you enjoyed!

Hello Millasperhour,

Thanks for your interest! No, neither Up All Night nor it's follow-ups (Daybreak, which is where this comment is, and Rumination) were inspired by Hannibal. Admittedly I don't think anyone on the team has even watched it, to be honest!

Wow, thank you so much Samantha, that really means a lot to our small team. We haven't given up on BoP, but with it's large production scale and our lack of financial backing we've opted to develop a few smaller visual novels in the meantime until we can find our footing. We deeply appreciate your support, and still hope to make BoP a reality in the not-too-distant future! In the meantime we hope you enjoy our other, smaller games. :)

Thank you so much for playing and sharing your experience, Cryptid! We're thrilled you enjoyed this short little 'story.'

An additional thank you for the kind comment and positive rating. We look forward to your thoughts on Nameless, as well... it's a very different game! ;)

Wow, thank you for the kind and heartfelt comment, kumori... we're thrilled our little tale had such an impact on you!

Thanks so much, Zang! We're glad you enjoyed. :)

Thank you so much for playing and enjoying, and for the kind comment. It really means a lot to our small team!

Thanks so much! We're glad you enjoyed. :)

Howdy Dragon_Queen,

We'd rate the game 16+. It contains some violent/gory written descriptions, but only blood is depicted visually.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Dilophosaurus, glad you enjoyed!

The email should just be fiendishfiction@gmail.com! If you're having trouble, you can also try emailing johan.faulstich@gmail.com (that's me!), or hitting me up on discord by friending/sending a message to me at username SexBomb. Let me know if you're still struggling!

Hi, DarkStarHades,

Thank you so much for the ongoing support! We're sorry you missed the free Up All Night day, but tell you what... why don't you shoot an email to fiendishfiction@gmail.com and we'll hook you up with a game code so you can own the itch.io version? You've been a long-time supporter of ours, so we feel you deserve it. :)

We're sorry about pushing Remnants of Dawn back... we're disappointed about it too, but it's not without reason, of course. We are still working hard to establish ourselves, and our hope is that Occult Mingle will generate more interest in our small studio, and the free release will get more eyes and enthusiasm on our games, including the upcoming RoD.

Occult Mingle is shaping up to be a lot of fun. Quite different from all of our games thus-far, but it will still have plenty of the supernatural/horror elements our studio is known for. And yes, it will be completely free! Hopefully we raise enough funds for full voice acting, but even if we don't we are confident Occult Mingle will be a quality game.

Thanks again!

Hi Ceri,

Thank you so much for your ongoing support in all our endeavours. You were one of our first followers, and it always brings a smile to our faces to see you comment on our projects.

We're hoping Occult Mingle will continue to bring attention and revenue to our studio (even though it will be free), so we can progress production on Remnants of Dawn. As it stands we are still working on RoD, but production has slowed, with most of our team holding full-time jobs or doing other freelance work. We're not sure what the new timeline for release looks like just yet, but we're definitely still working on it!

Thank you for another good selection of indie horror recommendations! Some of them we are familiar with, others we've never even heard of. Will definitely be checking thee out, and wishlisting plenty. Signalis and Killer Frequency have definitely been a few we want to check out... Will have to do more thorough research later this evening.

Thanks again!

Sorry you missed the discount, _Abaddon_. Please know that we discount of projects fairly often, with another discount starting tomorrow. It won't be 100% off, but it will be pretty steep. If you stick around long enough I'm sure you'll be able to grab UAN for free, eventually. In the meantime, we have plenty of other small-scale games available for free, with more in the works. Thanks for the follow!

It's available for download directly on the game page. Please let us know if you still have trouble!

Raw, emotional, and beautiful. A true work of art and literature.

Thanks as always, dogstarlite! :)

Thanks so much, Mado! Despite its small size, we really poured our hearts into this one. We're glad it paid off. <3

Thanks so much for playing and enjoying our short little tale! We're glad we were able you leave an impact on you in such a small amount of time.

Maybe the point isn't to figure out how it happened, instead to bask in the emotions of the situation

This is exactly what we're going for. We definitely wanted to leave the story and the relationship within ambiguous and open to interpretation.

Thanks again!

Howdy WitcherQueen,

UAN: Daybreak is already available on steam. You can find it here!

Glad you enjoyed. :')

Crafting a short story that leaves an impact on players is definitely a tough feat, so this compliment means a lot to us. Thank you!

Despite its small size, we really poured our hearts into this one. Glad it shows!

The music ain't half bad either. ;)

This game is so creepy and weird... we loved it!! Our team adores games that are able to utilize simple visuals to compliment a dark story, and this Josie's Rapture does a phenomenal job of that.  The unique visual direction really adds to the unsettling experience, and the audio definitely heightens the creep factor. Awesome work!
