The 4th story is now live and ready for play!

If you've finished Misty Mournings, this story is available now!

We hope you enjoy it~

Greetings all!
House Haunting will be the 4th story to be added to the game.

This story features Marcus who is in the market for a house, and has Ripley helping check out suitable sites with him.



We are currently in the voice editing and asset creation phase, working on new backgrounds, new cgs, sprite updates and possibly even a little new music!

Hope everyone is having a great day,

Undercover Undead and Garage Reverie are now available to play in Perceptions of the Dead 2!
If you've finished the first story, Misty Mournings, you will now have 2 new options from the Play menu.



Happy ghost hunting, everybody!





Wishing everyone a fun and spooky Halloween.

Hey folks!
For this Halloween we'll be updating the game with two new episodes of spooky goodness! I managed to finish up a second story in time, and so you'll have access to an entire extra story! Undercover Undead and Garage Reverie are the two new episodes being added.



The stories were a lot of work and a lot of fun, and we hope that you'll enjoy them!

The plan is to release the 2nd story "Undercover Undead" for Halloween week for spooky goodness!

Undercover Undead is just about complete. I need to edit about 40 more lines and add music to the scenes before I send it out to get some beta testing.



It will have a bit of new music (unplanned, but I'm considering trying to get a new track each story~ ;D ) and a lot of fun little animated clips and videos, as I'm getting more used to After Effects and seeing narratives in my head more easily.



That being said, we're going to try our best to finish an extra little surprise, for release at the same time as well, but time will tell if we can pull that off.



And if you caught that little tidbit earlier, yes, we do have plans for additional stories for the game past Undercover Undead! We have a few ideas, in various states of development, and only time, inspiration and funds will ultimately decide how many stories will end up making it into the game. Almost certainly, at least a total of 4.

Hope everyone's having a great month!

Hey all!
We’ve been hard at work on the next Perceptions of the Dead 2 story over at Ithaqua Labs these past weeks.

In addition to new backgrounds and cgs, I spent a good chunk of time updating, optimizing, and expanding upon existing sprites. Jill’s sprite has received a new outfit and hairstyle, and, along with Owen, has been converted to new code for Ren’Py called Layered Images.



It’s super modular and forgiving, once you wrap your head around it, and makes updating and expanding sprites super easy (compared to the old style)!


Because of that Owen now has some extra expressions and arm variations to help liven up his sprite and get across his personality.



Tyrone’s sprite has been totally overhauled, as well. His initial sprite was pretty bare-bones since his role in the first story was so small. You’ll get to spend some more time with him in Undercover Undead!



We’ve also picked up a few amazing new voices for new characters, and will hopefully have names and samples to share with you soon.



Aside from that, we're 1 review away from having 10 that count! That means we'd have a better shot of up showing up in searches involving rating. Hopefully we see it before too long!

Until next time~

Voice auditions for extra characters for the second story are currently underway. We've received almost all voice lines for the major characters in the story, and have some of them plugged into the game.

Art has begun to move forward for the story!



In addition to that, the OST for the game, featuring 23 lovely tracks by the talented Johnathan Johnson, is available on Itch.io for anyone who was interested in the music.

Hey all! Progress on the 2nd story is well underway.


It's called Undercover Undead.

We're about to launch the auditions for some new voices, and the script has
been imported into the game and coding has begun.

Perceptions of the Dead 2 has been a lot of work, but also a lot of fun, and we're super stoked to share more adventures with you.



We've actually put up one of the songs onto Youtube with a fun little video of Jill on a day off. You can watch/listen here if you want!

Stay tuned for more info, and if you have a bit of spare time, please consider leaving a review, it would help us out a lot!

Hey all! We're in the process of sending out the script to our lovely voice actors for the second story of the game, "Undercover Undead"

Hey all! It appears there was a bug on the final release version that was stopping the game from launching. We have rolled back to a working version!

Sorry for the trouble! Even after a few weeks of successful Beta testing, a bug snuck in at the last second.

All should be working fine now, please let us know if you encounter any issues! Thanks.

Hey all!
The game has just been released on Steam and we're super excited to share a new story with you.

We hope you enjoy the mystery, the spooks, and the goofs!

We'll be keeping an eye out to see if anything is amiss, and we look forward to hearing from you!
