FAQ - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I LOVE THE GAME'S SOUNDTRACK! WHERE CAN I GET IT?
The game's soundtrack has a lot of different royalty free themes that can be downloaded for free while others have to be bought in order to access them (mostly through a Storyblocks license).
Once the game's full version is released, I'll make a list of the themes I used just like I did with Where Winter Crows Go.
⁂
WHY HAS KILLER TRAIT'S ART STYLE CHANGED?
The art style changed because the sprites I used in the old demo were stock sprites. Stock sprites are sprites that can be used by anyone who buys them from the artist who created them. These sprites also have a limited number of expressions and, usually, only one outfit; so, if I happened to need something very specific for the story, it would have been difficult to add.
The other reason is that, by using stock sprites, I felt like the characters wouldn't have been 100% my own. Sure, I still gave them their storyline and personality, but the design (which is people's first impression of a character) wouldn't have been my own and other people could still buy the same sprite and use it in their own projects. Not to mention, if I ever wanted to make merch of the characters, that just wouldn't have been possible because the stock sprite design isn't mine.
That's why I decided to commission a new artist to make new designs for Oz, Arthur and Aslan. Carl and Fawna never had stock sprites to begin with, so their designs were never changed; they were just made from scratch.
While I'm aware that many people were disappointed with the change in art, I hope you understand and respect my reasons as well as respect the artist who worked super hard to make the art.
It's completely fine to prefer the old art style over the new one; people have their own preferences and that's completely valid. What's not okay is constantly coming into my comments/social media spaces to harass me about it and/or call me names when I'm setting a boundary.
Oz's, Arthur's and Aslan's new designs are a whole lot more fitting to their personalities, their essence, their backgrounds and the story that I want to tell about them. If you find that you can absolutely not play the game because of this decision of mine, I kindly ask you to play a different game that is more attuned with what you're looking for.
I am incredibly grateful to those who have given me their support and kindness with the new release of Killer Trait. I've had immense joy watching everyone's playthroughs, seeing your comments and reactions. Thank you so much for your time. But unfortunately, the harassment has severely affected my mental health, therefore I wanted to clearly explain the importance of the creative choices I made.
This will be the last time I will address this matter.
Thank you for understanding.

I'M BROKE! PLEASE MAKE THE FULL GAME FREE!
No.
⁂
WHEN WILL THE FULL GAME BE RELEASED?
Sometime around 2026-2027. Since I have a full-time job, it takes quite a while for me to make games. Please, be patient with me 🙏
Thank you for understanding!
⁂
WILL THE GAME HAVE AN ANDROID PORT?
Most probably yes! But not right away since these take a bit of time and I'd need to hire people to help me (like I did with WWCG).
⁂
WILL THE GAME BE ON STEAM?
There aren't any plans for that, at the moment, sorry. As a creator from Argentina, my sales from Steam would be in Argentine Pesos and, honestly, the economy in my country is so bad right now that I can't really bear the cost of having sales in pesos. Especially considering that many of the people I hire for art, voice acting and other things are from overseas and I have to pay them in USD as well.
This might change if I move to another country some day (which is actually a big possibility given the horrendous economy in Argentina along with other personal reasons) but for now, I really can't. Sorry.
HOWEVER, it's very possible that the game will be on Ko-Fi just like Where Winter Crows Go for those who don't have PayPal!
⁂
NSFW CONTENT?
I am NOT comfortable nor approve my characters/works being used in a NSFW/sexual/suggestive way. NSFW content is something very private for me and I don't like other people sexualizing my characters and/or making NSFW content surrounding them. Please, don't create NSFW of my games/characters nor share them publicly (especially not on social media). This also includes excessive gore.
If you still wish to make NSFW fanart/fanfiction or discuss NSFW topics regarding them, please do so in your own private circles. Don't share them publicly in a place where I can see them, don't tag me nor use the tags of my games for this type of content.
⁂
CAN I MAKE FANART?
Of course! Just be sure to look at my fanart rules for the characters:
CAN I MAKE FANFICTION OR MEMES?
Of course! As long as it's not NSFW, feel free!
⁂
CAN I COSPLAY AS YOUR CHARACTERS?
By all means! I'd love to see it!
⁂
CAN I COMMISSION SOMEONE TO DRAW ART OF KILLER TRAIT?
For sure! As long as it's not NSFW and you follow the fanart rules, feel free!
⁂
CAN I STREAM YOUR GAME/MAKE A GAMEPLAY OF IT?
Yes, be my guest! The only thing I ask of you is that you keep the warnings and disclaimers on the video AND that the video has your commentary on it (either written in the form of subtitles or voiced.)
Basically, I'm against playthroughs that don't have ANY kind of transformative content. That's akin to re-uploading my games and I'm absolutely NOT okay with that.
