Shrunken At Home - Available For Play ❤️

“Shrunken At Home” Alpha Release here we goooo 🥳🥳🥳

Months of work finally see daylight as dozens of you are already playing the game ❤️

So far the feedback is overwhelmingly amazing and I keep getting compliments, thanks everyone! So happy you are having fun!

—————

All eligible patrons got a private message with an invitation to play!

Did I miss you? Send me a private message ASAP, although I went over the list more than once verifying that everyone with an account had access.

Don’t have an account yet? Go now and open one, then message me to unlock the game for you, considering you have 30$+ lifetime support here on Patreon.

Tips:

• Draw yourself a map, it’s easy to get lost as some paths can have more than 20 steps.
• Although you can play in any way you want, my personal recommendation is not to leave the apartment too soon.
• Out of 53 endings, 5 are very special and relatively tricky to unlock, one is a secret ending and the rest are the best endings, one for each character of the story including the protagonist.
• Only one path has random consequences, try to understand which one it is on your own :)
• Once all endings are unlocked, your next run will have a special feature available.

To those asking for access for free

I keep getting those messages, sometimes bluntly, sometimes politely. At first I responded but I stopped, and I want to address all of you here.

TL;DR - NO

Longer and more polite version:

I’ve spent few thousand dollars on making this game:

• More than 200 customs from DakotaFade.
• Paid approval from others to use content from their social media for the game.
• Server, Data storage, domain license.
• Photoshop yearly license.
• Midjourney monthly plan (some of the steps have AI generated images, for environments mainly)

I did this with all of the support money my amazing patrons donated along the way, and I’ve even added some from my own pocket, knowing that I might not even get the investment back from this game, but I still continued - because this is something I want to do for years.

All that - without mentioning the infinite hours of work I’ve put into this, literally months, since I first announced starting working on it back in January, I worked on it almost daily.

Planning, implementing, writing, making collages, testing and more. I had amazing help with the testing part, but all else I did on my own.

And some of you are literally asking to get free access, this is amazing but sadly not surprising.

I’m not asking for sympathy in any way - I enjoyed creating it and I hope to be able to create more. This is my hobby and you are more than welcome to support it,  but you don’t have to, just don’t expect to get my work for free.

And if you think it’s easy to make, as someone sent me a few days ago when I refused to give him access for free, go make a game for yourself, what do you need me for? 🤷‍♂️

The game won’t be given to anyone for free, and it will never be free.

Even the price of 20$ is unbelievably cheap in my honest opinion, but I chose this price tag mainly because I want to make it available for as many as possible and still be able to have funds for more projects. I believe that no matter where you are in the world, if you have access to the internet, you can spare 20$ to enjoy something you love.

Once the beta is out tickets on the website will be available at this price, currently - the only way to participate is by having at least 30$ paid here.
