Thanks again and heres to a great 2024!

Since releasing Woolley Mountain over four years ago, we've seen very lucky to get lots of fans and love for our very first commercial game. But, we really haven't had very many reviews! and we need more, and here's a breakdown of why...

Did you know...
...most new players come through suggestions made by Steam within their own platform?Steam's algorithm takes the number of reviews to dictate how often (and how prominently) each game is shown to new potential players as they browse and play.

...the first algorithm milestone is 10 reviews.
This is Steam's way of making sure that a game isn't a total stinker.

...next is at 50-reviews.
This is where a game can earn itsVery Positiverating, depending on the positivity of the reviews.

...the next milestone is a massive 500 reviews!
If we were to reach this it would give Woolley anOverwhelmingly Positiverating and a top spot in the Steam algorithm. We're a long way off, butevery single review is includedand increases our chances of being seen by new point & click fans.

How can you help?
It's simple, easy and quick! If you have enjoyed playing Woolley Mountain, please, please, please spare a few seconds to write a short review and help us on our journey to reach thatseminal 500 reviews!

I promise that it will truly have a vast impact and help us to create more games in the future.

Thanks again folks!

James

Imagine a version of Life On Mars where instead of waking up in the 70s, our protagonist awakes in The Magic Roundabout.

Sleepytime Village is the story of a neglectful, workaholic father who becomes trapped in a childrens storybook reality, haunted by the residents of the Village, its formless narrator and visions of his childhood.

What is The Village and what does it want from him?

Well why not find out and check out the demo on our Steam page?

We think you will enjoy it! And if you do, why not help us out by signing up to our pre Kickstarter page here?



You will be the first to get hold of limited rewards, and help us reach our goal - you will be part of the game as your input will help mould the game into the best it can be!


We hope you enjoy and look forward to your support to make our new game the best it can be!

Thanks

James Lightfoot

To celebrate a year since Woolley Mountain was released, we've unleashed an ace art book and soundtrack!

The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain was released a year ago last week! Happy birthday to us, happy birthday to us, happy birthday dear Woolley, happy birthday to us! ! What a crazy achievement! I remember the day fondly, & realised Id forgotten to hit publish on Steam for 2 hours after it was supposed to be released! Doh!



Weve learnt so much over the year of release, and cant wait to implement all these learnings into our next game (thats coming along nicely!) so stay tuned for more updates on that.



But, to celebrate weve finished the Art Book and soundtrack, now available one. the Woolley Mountain Steam page!! Go get 'em champ!

Enjoy all the wonderful music from The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain in this rich and eclectic soundtrack from the game.

All songs written by David Lightfoot and Jonny Barnard.

The Helmholtz Resonators are a renegade group of psychedelic audio scientists who have been playing and writing music together since the turn of the century. They studied acoustic science and the work of Hermann Von Helmholtz, being particularly inspired by his book On the Wires of our Nerves, essential reading for anyone interested in the science of sound and sound synthesis. Heavily inspired by the ethos behind concept albums, the band have created a repertoire of songs that are as eccentric as their image, touching on influences as diverse as The Residents and The Kinks to LCD Soundsystem and Hieronymous Bosch.

Patch notes:

• Tiny bug fix in Prison scene with VanDamme.
  
• Tiny bug fix with audio dialogue of VanDamme in Prison scene
