Playing the Steam release of Apparatus: Exanimus by @figglewatts.materiality.link and I'm having a grand time with it but also just got my pants spooked off me and I think I need to put it down for a moment the game is already creepy without being active about it, the tension buildup got me bad...

In retrospect kinda crazy how much of the final game was in place just 3 days into development. The real apparatus heads will clock the coeptus here

FOOLISHLY tried writing up my thoughts on mobile and so had to rewrite basically from scratch but i managed to get one of the basic endings with a friend this morning and keep thinking about it and want to dive back in so i wrote about it :0) backloggd.com/u/whysobald/...

still very pleased with the goopy slime render I made for one of my game's loading screens

I genuinely think I have crafted a maze that drives streamers mad... haven't seen a single stream or VOD that didn't get nutty at some point

played this with a friend this morning for a few hours & absolutely recommend that if the exact pitch of this game sounds like your jam, it will be your jam.

Hey folks. Apparatus is out! I'm already installing 👀

I made real physical packaging for my ARG-inspired game

My game about getting lost in unsettling corridors is out now on Steam for like 6 bucks in case you missed it

good luck to anyone trying to piece this shit together lmfao

Impulse adding a bunch more secrets to the game less than 2 days before launch :^)

I've seen a few people refer to Apparatus: Exanimus as 'analog horror' which is interesting to me as it wasn't necessarily what I had in mind when making it. Maybe it's fitting, there are definitely elements of it in there (I am partially inspired by Petscop, after all)

3 days until the apparatus is exposed to you

If Apparatus does well I have a bunch of ideas for a potential content update or DLC - would love to be able to make this Going along with the late 90s PC game vibe, it would be fun to do an 'expansion pack'

only 4 days...

drew this lil fella today for something

it's the box room!!!

only 5 short days until my atmospheric exploration game is released on steam

running away...

only 6 days until you can explore my apparatus...

just 7 days until you can explore Apparatus: Exanimus for yourself

I do not wish to drink someone else's juice I am distilling my own from first principles based on rules that don't exist that I have made up

Wider playtesting for Apparatus: Exanimus is under way - a release build has been sent to a few friends 🧪

The 6th annual LSDJAM starts in just 3 hours We have 184 participants signed up but there's still plenty of time for you to join Make your own dream emulator over 4 months to celebrate LSD: Dream Emulator's release

I got too busy fixing bugs... mid week now, I promise!

I'm really pleased with how Apparatus has turned out and I'm looking forward to seeing however few people play it. I think it's a pretty niche experience and definitely not for everyone, but it really did turn out exactly how I wanted it to.

Apparatus is now feature complete - look out for a release date announcement this weekend ;)

Throwback to when I accidentally added climbing to my game
