I believe it was just one of us with a distorted voice.
Сould an adventure game (point and click) be fun if the main character were a maniac?
Sure, and there's been a few examples already! Max in Sam & Max comes to mind :)
Any easter eggs in serena?
There are a few, such as the reference to Asylum (drawing), the magazine and several book titles, including one written by Michael Arthate from Scratches!
Name one thing you’ll always find in your fridge!
Human remains.
Good morning!
I've always liked in games to collect a certain number of different items and in the end to get interesting secrets. Is there still time to do this? Аnd it would be nice to get a bonus game (or something else) after you finish Asylum 100% :)
By the way, I am a big fan of scratches
YES! Asylum is full of interesting things you can collect and secrets not required to complete the game. We dedicated much time to this feature! And there might more content after you're done with the main story 😃
will there be references to your future projects in asylum?
Interesting question! While we do have a concept for the next project on paper, there won't be references to it in Asylum. You *might* find references to Scratches, though 😉
Will the game be released this year? I WANT ASYLUM. I WANT TO BE INSIDE. I WANT TO GO INSANE 😭😭😂🤣
We know, and we're super sorry about the delay! We went insane ourselves while developing the game 🤪
We're not sure if it's releasing this year, but we can already see the light at the end of the tunnel!
have you ever watched supernatural season 1 episode 10?
As a matter of fact, I did. It's been a while and I don't remember much. The name of course rings a bell :D
What is your favorite thing about scratches, Serena and asylum?
1) The story. 2) The story. 3) Hhhmmm... the story!
Is there any connection between scratches and asylum?
Not really, these are two completely independent stories. However, you will plenty of easter eggs and references for fans of Scratches in ASYLUM :)
What was cool when you were a child but isn’t cool now?
Handheld electronic games like Game Watch.
Have you ever thought that people and all living things are bacteria of some organism?
Love when our questions get this weird. And yes, thinking about this every day.
What would you do if you woke up without arms and legs in a mental hospital and the year would be 1930.
Try to wake up ASAP. But also try and have a few words with Howard Philips.
Very nice to hear that you will include the affirmation 💪🏻😍 🎧
Yay! 🙌
I really like that song and i want it in Asylum :)
Very happy to hear you like The Affirmation! We'll definitely try to include an easter egg from the band :)
Plus you could in the game listen to The Lost Boys by the affirmation through the radio. Good idea? :) :)
THAT is also something we discussed. We *may* hide a thing or two in that radio ;)
What if you could in the game ASYLUM find a cassette as a secret and listen to 70s rock music through the car radio, bands like ac/dc - highway to hell, Kansas - carry on my wayward son, etc? Guys!! Seriously, that would be a fantastic idea!!
Err, it's a nice idea, but there are two issues: one, that we need to acquire the rights of such popular songs and that would be *expensive*. And two, that it would ruin a bit the mood of the game, even as a secret :-/
What year Scratches and Scratches: Last Visit was set in? And what year Asylum will be set in
Scratches was set in the early 70s and The Last Visit around the same time, but the exact date was never specifically mentioned. Just as well, the precise moment in time won't be disclosed in ASYLUM, but it takes place the late 70s.
Will you give brief information about the next project after ASYLUM!? Or is it currently a secret project!? 🤐
We discussed this a bit in Discord: it will be an adventure that *sort of* completes a trilogy with Scratches and ASYLUM. It will feature a sprawling location with many exteriors and also "um". There are plans for a shorter side project too.
Why Serena is a short game?
No reason in particular, it was originally devised as a short story that didn't extend well to a long game. This is why it's free as well :)
What does Dolhom look like for you? I would love to know
An interesting question as we never did a concept of Dolhom for Scratches, but *something* was outlined for an eventual prequel that never was (or will be). Imagine a lion-like creature that's being held captive by the Dhalmaar — however, you can't really tell if it's an actual lion or something else.
