Small update for the coming month - and some news regarding DEMO!


Hello everyone!

Here's a short update on what we are planning for the coming month. We're finishing the demo of Life is Beautiful, and you will soon be able to play it yourself. English localization is almost done; just a few tricky places are left to tackle. We also need to give the game a round of QA tests to ensure it runs smoothly before giving it to you.

That said, we have some exciting news for you:

We are planning to release a demo of Wait! Life is Beautiful! mid-June.

In the W!LiB! demo you will:

  • Live through one day of Will’s life after he decides that he needs something more from his life.

  • Talk to those that visit the suicide bridge. Sometimes Will manages to talk them out, and sometimes he doesn't.

  • Get introduced to the main characters of the story.

  • And in the end, you will see the results of your decisions.

But before you can get your hands on W!LiB!, there will be some more news from us next week.

We have some exciting things to share with you, so stay tuned!

Wait! Life is Beautiful! is released! A message from the developer is attached to the post. Unfortunately, we had some problems with the payment via GameJolt, so the release here will happen later, but we are already out on Steam with a 10% discount!

You can't save everyone... We're finishing our new animated trailer. Stay tuned for the full version, it's coming out on Tuesday :)

The more people that Will helps, the more his psyche will gradually suffer. This will gradually manifest itself as vivid dreams. Here is the first one, what do you think is going on here?

Here's a screenshot from the beginning of the game that you'll be able to see only after the whole game is out. For now if you play the demo you'll start on the Suicide Bridge right away. #ScreenshotSaturday #WLIB #SuicidePrevention

Here is another haunting dream that Will will eventually have. All of the dreams have a specific meaning, what do you think is the meaning of this dream? #WLIB #SuicidePrevention

What words can stop a person that has nothing to lose?

Though we focus more on dialogue and text to tell the story of our game, the scenes also play a big role. What sort of interactions do you think Will will have when he comes here?

Core to our game is gradually experiencing how Will (who set out to help others) gradually becomes the one that needs help as his mental state slowly slips. One of the ways that we show this is through the dreams that he has. #SuicideAwareness #PixelArt

One of the characters that you will eventually encounter in #WLIB is the Puppet Man. He doesn't know anymore if he's a human or a puppet. Most importantly, he doesn't like kids. He never did. #ScreenshotSaturday #PixelArt
