Thank you!!

Correct! We don't want to spoil things right before the release!

Congratulations!! We just uploaded our build to Steam for review as well! Launch is coming right up!

@calyps0art.bsky.social made an excellent video theorizing about the lore of #theislandofdoctormorse ! We can't confirm or deny the theories just yet, but if you're interested in theorycrafting about the game, this is for you! Fantastic effort!

This is such a cool watch! Great work! We loved hearing your theories about the lore!

Lots of snacks!

Nessie would like to remind everyone that she's very excited to eat, er, meet you on May 15!

Mwahahahahahaha

Yes and no.

So like...what WAS the deal with this place, anyway? It's kinda unrelated to anything else on the island, huh?

He gets easily spooked, lol

Yes! The digital version is the default, and a physical edition is not actually planned at this time, though we'd like to make one some day!

One thing about the art for the game being done is that now, we can draw the characters in whatever style we want! This is Howard, drawn in the game director's natural art style. You can see more fun art like this in the art book, but we figured we'd throw you all a bone early!

This is horrifying. I love it!

Do not worry, Meyio. We fixed it so you can't get infinite rocks anymore lol

A blue cat in a strange room talks to a man in a brown hat and jacket. His words rhyme. He is saying "Oh, don't be silly, kid! I'm on your side! Now what's say we make like the sea, and change tide"

Uh oh....looks like Howard's asked Knowhere about something he shouldn't have... Knowhere seems nice enough about it, though!

Basically an item duplication glitch. But instead of "duplicating" it made the items infinite. They never stop existing.

Oh don't worry I've gotten it to happen with dangerous things, too! There's an enemy you haven't seen yet whose spawn rate was set to 1 spawn every 0.01 seconds by mistake....That was a bad day to be Howard.

He's discovered the item duplication glitch, that's for sure

This is what a very big problem looks like, in case you were wondering.

Only true fans will remember the pink dot lol. It's an exclusive club now

Oh hey! Look at that! No pink dot!

I got creative and made Howard just before he fully reforms after he respawns from the save flower

6 weeks to launch...

We don't expect anybody to get a good ending their first time through, frankly. You'll definitely have to play it multiple times to get the full experience! There are definitely some bad things that can happen, but you can prevent them if you keep trying!

The voice acting is only applied to the cutscenes at the beginning and the end of the game, so one of my close friends, who studied acting for a while, was chosen for the role, while I did the narration myself. There are thematic reasons for this too but we will explain those AFTER the game launches

I have now seen (and more importantly, heard) the finished visuals and cutscenes for all 4 endings, fully scored. We ended up deciding on only two voices, a narrator, and a voice for Howard. I really think you'll enjoy these endings. Some of them are quite moving, I think.

Here's your first look at the digital art book! We've compiled all the art from across the development of the game to make this book happen, so you'll get to see tons and tons and tons of behind the scenes work! There's even new lore tidbits and insights from all of the devs! Look forward to it!

It's really fun to be at the point in development we're at, because I can just play through the entire game right now, but we haven't turned off the dev testing stuff yet, so some rooms will just have egregious spoilers infinitely repeating on loop, and multiple Nessies just sitting around
