I found out about the conference two weeks before, so I worked from the moment I woke up until I went to bed in order to get it ready on time. But that means it still has a few issues and is missing a few things I'd really like to include.

Hidden Magical Creatures

Oh, and my girlfriend joined me at the conference, as she's making her first-ever game. I know it's a completely different genre, but if you need something to calm down after playing horror games, you can Wishlist or try the Demo of her cozy hidden object game: Hidden Magical Creatures.

Thank you all! -Darko
