Description

"The founders of [redacted]" the fourth installment in a series of pixel-art point & click adventures. You play as Ines, a 19-year-old aspiring writer. Hoping to find peace and inspiration for her second novel, she's about to spend a few weeks in [redacted], her uncle Lee's hometown. On her arrival she finds a mysteriously empty town, and her book-writing plans are derailed as she is recruited to save [redacted] from a paranormal infestation.

History

"The founders of [redacted]" is the first work of Relatively Painless Game that was not planned as a game jam submission. The team started working on it in August 2023 with the working title "Halloleen" with the plan of releasing in October, but it quickly became clear that, due to the larger scope of the game, more time would be needed. After almost exactly one year of production, the game is set to release in August 2024.
