Studio Grail × Grave Regrets

Thrilled to announce GRAVE REGRETS - a psychological horror & mystery visual novel. 🪦👁️ Play as a haunted detective. Gather evidence, navigate fragile relationships, and hold onto your sanity. Every choice matters. Will you do the right thing? store.steampowered.com/app/3161540/ Please repost 🖤

Point being, I'm sorry for taking such a criminally long hiatus without saying anything. We did a huge cross-province move and it took the best of me. But I'm finally starting to be settled into a new city and home now 🫶

You know when life gets busy and you disappear from social media for a bit, thinking you'll be back the next day so there's not much of a point announcing it. And then your timeline extends by a week, then another... and suddenly it's been months

Something I've forgotten to mention: The website for Grave Regrets is up! studiograil.com I haven't coded a website since Neopets so please let me know what you think and if you come across any bugs 🐛

Some Reddit comments assumed the Grave Regrets trailer contains AI animation, so I want to point out: there's zero AI, and every frame is hand-drawn. If anything I almost wish it was AI-assisted with how long it took to animate a simple head turn. Will be sharing more progress shots in the future.

Last week there was on an error on the Grave Regrets steam page claiming that the game isn't compatible with macOS or Linux. It should be fixed now.

Thank you, Denfaminico Gamer for covering Grave Regrets. 🖤 The outpouring of support from Japan has been extremely meaningful.

I'm realizing now it probably wasn't the smartest move to start our announcement trailer with a black screen since videos don't autoplay on the bsky browser. #indiegame So to those who are too lazy to click, here's the summary:

Our game announcement got picked up by Denfamico Gamer 😱 I guess Japanese localization just went from "would be nice" to a priority...

After years of working on the same project, I can't believe it's about to finally be announced and "out there". I aim to keep the momentum going, which means the real work begins tomorrow. Let's look forward to it together 💪 #indiegamedev

The countdown is almost over. We announce our game in 24 HOURS 🔔 Here’s the last teaser… Can you make out what it is?
