Gloomy Juncture Demo Available NOW!

Hello, dear inhabitants of this Gloomy Juncture!

NEW DEMO LAUNCH

I'm excited to announce that the new demo of Gloomy Juncture is officially live!

This version features numerous quality-of-life improvements based on the valuable feedback you guys provided from the first public demo. Please note that some features, like the much-requested Run feature and even more diegetic tips (narration), are still not included in this demo. For instance, running still needs tweaks as it's integrated into some more action-oriented puzzles.

I've also refined gameplay mechanics, enhanced puzzles, and made several visual upgrades to textures and assets.

NOTABLE IMPROVEMENTS IN THE DEMO

• Revised interaction system - tighter controls and smoother animations, providing a more responsive experience when interacting with items and the environment.

• New HUD showing multiple interaction tips.

• Multiple improvements to Inventory/Journal interface, experience, and general interactions.

• Refactored cleaning puzzle - now providing a sense of progression with incremental usage and new assets, giving a more immersive experience.

• A whole new Cretin! But don't worry, his old self will be forever immortalized in the office painting!

I'm looking forward to your feedback!

JAPANESE LOCALIZATION

In preparation for BitSummit Drift, Gloomy Juncture is now fully translated into Japanese! I'm thrilled to receive feedback about this weird work from a whole new audience across the seas.

BitSummit Drift

If you happen to be around Kyoto, pay a visit to booth H-08, where my friend Laura Teixeira will be representing Gloomy Juncture. Not only did Laura help with the Japanese translation, but this is also her first showcase event. Show her some support if you can!
