This was SO useful, thanks so much for the thoughtful response! I had been considering creating onboarding for first-time players and this confirmed how necessary that was, and helped me hone in on what to include.

I just uploaded a brand new build with a "How to Play" overlay when you first start the game (also accessible in the pause menu after it's dismissed). Hopefully this helps clear things up. Definitely let me know if there's anything that's still confusing! 

Thanks for playing! Great question. The goal for this demo was to create a kind of proof-of-concept sandbox to explore musical ideas and refine the gameplay. Currently taking lessons learned and building out more linear levels with goals, failstates, branching paths, all that good stuff.

love the art and vibes, nice job!

This is a super fun idea, feels like there's tons of potential for new types of items, attacks and enemies (ie bombs, arrows, stealth attacks). Really excited to see where you take this!

god bless your cursed soul thank you thank you

unfortunately this was so long ago I don't think I still have the files to update this game specifically, but newer iterations of werewolf house (1, 2, 3) have plenty more of the jank and jokes the people go nuts for

Haha I like that as an explanation, that's a more fun version of: every Halloween it reboots with some new wacky werewolf variation based on what kind of thing I wanna make. Could be fun to explore that concept more next time...

Believe it or not you hit on the sorta thing I'm looking to do next time I'm feeling ambitious! Could be soooooooon

Ah that’s a bug I didn’t encounter, good to know thank you! Hoping to get back in there and fix a few glitches soon 

I'm a writer by trade, but in celebration of the spooking season, I got the crazy idea to learn to code and create a comedy horror game for Halloween.

Using only the resources available to me online via Twine, Piskel, and countless coding blogs, I was able to create a game with what I think are some actually interesting mechanics and definitely a whole lot of bad jokes.

I just launched it and I'm very proud of how dumb it turned out. Play it free here! https://andything.itch.io/werewolf-house-synthincisor
