What do you do when a cryptic floppy disk arrives in the mail for a job you never applied for? Who is Henry Combs? Does he speak in prophecies or fever dreams? What does he want, and what did he lose?

Great Gold Bird, Great Dark Yawn is a first person magical realist adventure game exploring the mythologies we build around people, liminal spaces, and the uncanny.

Our story is set in Austin, TX: home of mom and pop roadside museums, extreme yard art, and “keeping it weird.” Aesthetically, we're layering textures of 2D and 3D evironments, found footage of home movies, and hand-painted watercolor cutscenes to create a surreal, dreamlike environment.

We hit 5,000 followers today! Thank you so much for all the love. It's really encouraging and motivates us to keep going. Here's how this game got started, and also a picture of Shawn and I dressed as Ellie and Joel from The Last of Us for Halloween.

What's your most vivid memory of your childhood home?

The attic was connected to my bedroom, and I never once went up there. Probably because my dad told me they chained my twin sister up there, and fed her fish heads. Who can say?

Here's a dreamy little teaser with new art by Derek Van Gieson! Every time we get new art in from him, it's feels like Christmas for Katie and me! Oh... and we're really feeling a Fall release for this, you guys!

Hey! So you might have noticed we're using several different art styles and are wondering why. Well, we have playable dreams, flashback cutscenes, alternate realities, and real-time gameplay that we need to delineate​ somehow. : )
