At the moment of writing this, the game has "gone gold". All of the 15 main levels, the 17 point-and-click segments, the 3 bosses (yes, there are boss fights) and the final minigame are done. Only testing remains.

So, with all of this in mind, I have decided to just forget about being on the Next Fest. I had already tried being on one before with https://store.steampowered.com/app/2648260/PseudoHaunting/"" style="color:#bb86fc;text-decoration:none;">Pseudo-Haunting , and sadly it didn't help much, so I don't see any point in withholding a complete game's release for a faint hope of getting more attention.

There's also another factor in this decision: the game already got some traction on Gamejolt after it was promoted by Team Radiance . In case you don't know, they are the team behind the "Five Nights at Tresure Island" fangame remakes, and noticed Odiumfloreo by accident since it was tagged #fnaf in Gamejolt since the gameplay is heavily inspired by that series' "sit-n-survive" format.

Huge thanks for that, really. Good to know those past years I spent making failed attempts at screamy bear fangames did not go to waste. Heck, Odiumfloreo actually began with the dumb idea of a crossover between FNaF and Enviro Bear 2000.

The new release date is 03/10/2025. The game's price will probably be 5$. The soundtrack is also finished, with its Steam page currently on the works.
