GRAVE REGRETS — A Psychological Horror Visual Novel Gather evidence, navigate relationships, and hold onto your sanity. Every choice matters. Will you do the right thing?

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 🐛

Makes sense, and I'll definitely consider changing it. Appreciate the sharp eye either way!

I looked into this and seems like there's a couple ways to mark copyright. Can either put today's year or, like in this case, year it was published. Both ways are correct :)

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.

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
