Hello!

Greetings, a random user on the Internet who may have stumbled upon this random Cookie Run fan made content for another fangame that was once able to be searched up publicly on this site's search engine:

I figured I'd be putting several things and make it as a possible Frequently Asked Questions section upon this mod's creation, because I'd hope some people may have questions for certain topics. Here is the list of things that will most likely come up first, then I'll go in-depth into what I've changed in another devlog post.

Connections

No, I do not have any connections with the developer directly or have contact them at all prior to this article. This is just something I did during my "I made a mod for a Cookie Run Visual Novel Fangame in 7 days" thing for enjoyment purposes. I was hoping the creator would discover this game by that method instead of directly contacting them, although I would be fine too if they decide that what I'm doing is not okay for them, and I'll be happy to take this game page down.

Why mod when you could just make your own?

Enjoyment purposes. I find the story with a lot of potential to be fulfilled, and compatibility between this and what I already have on top of my head, although the lacking features contain some writing complexity and the natural flow of the story progression, with some generalization of the lore. The game by itself does a great job at it already, but it could still be improved upon. I'm no expert at writing, but I can allow using this as an excuse to improve my writing skills for future projects.

Why now?

The developer of the game has made it clear that they are canceling the sequel to OVENGLITCH, which is Cataclysm, to pursue other projects. It is unfortunate to me to discover this news, because I was hoping for some updates regarding the game. Sure, that I have never made any contributions to it, content creation wise (the only instance I did was Livestreaming this said game during April 2025, but that by itself is already lost media), which it doesn't mean that I don't check up how the game has been doing at all, because I do sometimes.

Both the original Overhaul and the original OVENGLITCH has been labelled as "canceled" on GameJolt, so I wanted to use this as a way to make sure that I can still work with this code, and the game itself has codes that can be accessed and edit inside of it. I'm aware that the game is still available outside of GameJolt, but this page is a way for users that don't rely on off-site searches to still discover it, because I still do link the original inside the description, and make it so you are required to get the original first.

Media mentions and comical shenanigans

As for why I decide to include some rants, references, and fourth wall breaks into the mod more often than others, is simply due to the fact that I'd want to express myself when it comes to unserious writing and making people aware that this isn't official. Sure, I do include some ridiculous things I've seen while editing the script and outright "put" them as an actual dialogue in-game, but that was only a part of the fun. I do not mean any negativity towards it, and solely because it's fun to include something stupid for quick laughs. It is still a horror experience after all, but even so, a quick break can energize some players, even if the stuff I wrote can be cringeworthy, but still acceptable.

Goals:

My goal for this modification is for people to experience the game as if the official Overhaul for the game has been released (we know the answer to that already on the Why now? section). Sure, you could argue you don't need the mod to enjoy the game fully, which I will be agreeing to that. But this is another choice if people want to reexperience it again with some additional features and storylines. I tried to keep it as close as to how the developer intended it to flow as possible, while improving the dialogues progression towards other chapters, but I am not perfect. I can also use this to come up with how the story progresses after the official game's ending, since the cancellation of it never truly reveals some parts of the game, which hopefully I will be able to fill that gap. There will be 2 builds that I hoped I'm able to get it out: The Improved package, and the Improved + Expanded package. As to the differences between the two, that will be on the future devlog post.

That should be my assumption of what will the frequently asked questions section will contain during the page creation. But to sum it up as a "Too long, didn't read", I'll be putting it as follows:
"I enjoy the game, and I want to make the game better than it already is, while still keeping the game and all the credit to the original fangame's developer themself". I'd like to apologize this to the developer of the original OVENGLITCH if this comes up as a sudden thing and not informing you beforehand. If you're not a fan of this modification or if you want me to cease development to it, feel free to reach out to me anywhere on my available socials, and I will take this page down.

Thank you for reading. I hope I will receive positive news before writing the next devlog soon.
