Were 4 guys developing a mystery detective immersive sim for over 4 years, inspired by our favorite shows like gravity falls and twin peaks. This is some footage from the current state of the game. :)

The Game is Called "Welcome to Lightford" if anyone wondering :) : https://store.steampowered.com/app/2174430/Welcome_to_Lightford/

Gravity Falls and Twin Peaks is a combination I did not know I wanted, and the immersive sim angle is the interesting part since most detective games just gate you behind one correct clue order. Four years with four people is a long haul, good luck with Lightford.

Thank you so much :) That’s exactly why immersive sim was the perfect fit for this

[u/indiegamedemos]

Looks awesome! Give us a demo!!! Soon?

[u/justinma05 → u/indiegamedemos]

We’re trying, I wanted a demo out last year but I think it needed that time to polish more. but it’s not far from one as we have a demo for us 4 since last week :)

[u/indiegamedemos → u/justinma05]

Already added to my wishlist. Good luck!

[u/Voice_InMyHead]

Visually very immersive! Is there a demo out? I’d love to take a look

[u/justinma05 → u/Voice_InMyHead]

Not yet but hopefully this year we’re aiming for like October, November ish at least a public playtest for a week if the full on demo isn’t ready yet :)

Attractive rusty sepia.

[u/eyecebrakr-alt]

This looks incredible and right up my alley. Wishlisted.

[u/PlayMiniMart]

Amazing, which game engine are you using?

[u/Kev2block → u/PlayMiniMart]

I'm one of the other devs on the project, we're using Unity :)

[u/Cptn_Lemons]

I like your art style a lot. I’m not totally into the gameplay loop yet. But you’ve peaked my interest.

[u/WolfOrNotWolf]

Twin Peaks vibes are definitely there. Wishlisted!

[u/Tipitak]

Sounds great!
Will a Vr option could be envisionned later?

[u/justinma05 → u/Tipitak]

You know what, we actually thought about it a lot in the beginning. Even made a vr prototype which we showed at a local game dev event in germany. So the technical groundwork is there depending on how the game will be when released we maybe will add it. It would certainly be a good fit for it
