What if the monsters working in a haunted house weren't just wearing a costume...?

Were|House is a short VN with three short character-focused mini-routes.

Dori (nameable MC with changeable pronouns) stumbles by accident upon the secret behind the popular local haunted house - and gets roped into working alongside them on Halloween night!


Concept art by @inkymaw: protagonist Dori (renameable, choosable pronouns), feisty kelpie Morag (she/her), cheerful werewolf Cormac (he/him), & roguish gorgon, Esseth (they/them)


Team:
Madi @timepatches (project lead, writing, UI)
Jane Titor @parttimestorier (writing)
ClarionGlass (writing)
Devin @inkymaw (character design, sprites)
Shar @_yapsharlene (CGs)


I'm so excited to work with these amazing peeps. Wish us luck!
Stay tuned for updates through September! >:3c

Update time!
A week into the jam, our writing doc is sitting at around ~11k words - we've written some of the common route, and each of us have gotten started on our individual character routes as well!
(This is gonna go way over the word count estimate *°▽°* )


I've also done a lot of work on the UI and it's basically finished, barring a few extra bells and whistles I wanna add if I have time near the end.

Aaand our artists have been busy too!
We currently have 2 out of our 4 character sprites done (already!) and sketches for our main 3 CGs.
Sneak peeks only for now ;3c


Be sure to follow on Twitter for more updates!

Quick update!!

The jam deadline is well and truly looming but we're well on our way to being done!
All our sprites are complete, most CGs just need colour, and coding is about halfway.

Follow on Twitter for more regular updates in the final stretch!
