FAMISHED -  (Early Access Demo)

Please let it be known this is Early Access and therefore will have a few (minor) bugs that will be ironed out.  See known bugs at the bottom before reporting. Not wanting to make excuses but I wanted to push this game out before going on a month-long trip, so it was a tiny bit rushed. Literally catching a plane five hours from now!
Final patch coming at the end of June! 

ABOUT THE GAME

Embark on a spine-chilling horror adventure as you follow the story of an abused Kansas young man called ‘Oatmeal’ - a friendless imbecile, despised for his low IQ by his family and destined for nothingness. His mundane existence takes a sinister turn when an insatiable hunger awakens within him, consuming not just his daily routine but also his sanity. and Initially, it seems like a mere appetite evolves into a malevolent force, pushing Oatmeal to perform unspeakable horrors in order to sate it. 

As the macabre narrative unravels, another horrific revelation emerges – Oatmeal may not be the solitary architect of these monstrous deeds. His unearthly desires emanate from something far more sinister and otherworldly, lurking in the shadows. In this tale of terror, darkness encircles not just Oatmeal but all who dare to witness the grotesque puppetry of the supernatural.

DEMO

Of course, this is not the game itself but a playable demo. At roughly 50% of the game, it’s a sizable one, so enjoy! 

 WHERE DID “FAMISHED” COME FROM? 

It’s the first in a line of a grand scheme to make a further six games with a highly cinematic feel and horror theme. Here’s a few more details about what’s to come. 

Feast of The Maggotoid - wipe out a mall via an alien creepy crawler from outer space that can dominate the minds of its host and inflict carnage. But these pesky earthlings will eventually find their balls and start coordinating ways to survive your onslaught and turn the terror back on you.     

Reef - a gripping underwater survival adventure inspired by Aquarius, a real-life undersea laboratory. You play as a marine-biologist that is struggling to discover what happened to his wife and crew after a mysterious explosion caused him to be separated from their research lab. Exploration, engaging puzzles, survival mechanics and of course, an element of extraterrestrial involvement. This is one you’ll be ‘gasping’ for when you see it.  

The Insanity 1 & 2 & 3 - the first two are already freely available to play online, the third one is a conclusion to the story, which is one part Saw, one part Human Centipede (though my game came first lol). I happen to believe these are some of the best ‘n’ scariest Point n Click games you’ll ever play so old or not go dl the Newgrounds player and have at it. 

Echoes of Itoshima - In a remote mountain range of Itoshima, a man that murdered his family and escaped from the authorities finds himself trapped and isolated. As night falls, the boundary between reality and nightmare blurs, and he must confront his deepest fears. Haunted by eerie echoes of his life and hunted by mythological monsters from Japanese folklore, he must unravel the mysteries of the mountain to escape its malevolent grasp. A survival/story game featuring research + ref recreation of an existing region (helps that I live there).  

Any $$$ granted will be used to fund the progress of these releases! There will be a Patreon page forthcoming!

GOALS

Current sections of the demo will be revisited and upgraded with more expansive designs. There will be further scenes included with the final game. The second half is where the story ramps up and things start to get truly macabre. 

Planned full release date - December 2024. 
Final price will be $20 on Steam. Watch this space for links.
