Secret Agendas. . .

Secret Agent Wizard Boy was a normal Wizard Boy on his way to his first year at Wizard School until he received a message from MI6. "Wizard Boy," it said. "We've received intel that the headmaster of Wizard School, Grumblemort, is the leader of a criminal organization named S.P.I.D.E.R. We need you to investigate!" And so Wizard Boy started his first year at Wizard School, trying to uncover the mysteries that lay before him.

Secret Agent Wizard Boy is a sandbox wizard sim that can be played alone or in cooperative(?) multiplayer. Explore (blow up) the castle, find secrets, solve puzzles, and discover the mystery hidden deep in the castle.

A multitude of spells to learn and inflict on others
Physics-based mayhem

New Game Released! Exiled - Ancient Puzzle Thriller

A New Game: Exiled

Charlotte is missing. A note has been left on her desk talking of "the ancient evil" and "banishment to a different realm." The eldritch tome and an untranslated scrap she had been studying act as the only clues to her disappearance. Use clues found in the book to translate an ancient language, evade the lurking horrors, and solve the mystery of the strange objects around you!

This is a compact, detailed puzzle thriller similar to The Room and Myst. The player can inspect items, use clues, and slowly crack the mystery of the Great Library.

Solve ancient puzzles, decode an eldritch language, and avoid the lurking horror all while sitting at a single desk
Tense and foreboding atmosphere where the stillness of the library can be shattered at any moment High level of interactivity
Multiple endings
Good for a single play session
Voiceover by Tom Schalk

Go check it out! It would really mean a lot to me! :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/2741620/Exiled/

Kyle is COMPLETE

Hey everyone!

It's a BIG day for Kyle. You see, Kyle is now... COMPLETE

[previewyoutube=6oi9ParvI8g;full][/previewyoutube] Back in 2019 when Ducky released Kyle is Famous as a fun, free project here on Steam, he had no idea how popular it would get and how much people would love Kyle. So he came to us at New Blood and said... do you want to make Kyle... Complete? And we said... YES OF COURSE WHATEVER THAT MEANS WE'RE 100% IN. BEHOLD...

The COMPLETE Edition of Kyle is Famous now includes:

More than 117 endings + All the original Kyle DLC (You're a hot dog!)
Over 2000+ lines of voice acted dialogue by Gianni (He's funny!)
A custom story editor with Steam Workshop (Oh boy, mods!)
Twitch Integration (Twitch plays Kyle?!)
Tons of new visuals, sounds, and more! (Shazam!)

But wait... there's more! Everyone who had the original FREE version of Kyle has now been UPGRADED to the Kyle is Famous: Free Edition. It's kinda the same... but different! And better! This version of the game has all the content of the old version but looks and plays like the Complete Edition! But no new endings, voice acting or fancy new features. You gotta pay for that! However you can now play all the original Kyle DLC! UPGRADE

Speaking of those of you who want to UPGRADE to the COMPLETE EDITION of Kyle, know that Steam might give you this warning about that - but rest assured you can mash your face into the PURCHASE button and it will indeed give you the shiny new version of Kyle. We promise.

Thank you so much for supporting Kyle, Ducky and New Blood as we made Kyle... Complete. If you love Kyle as much as we love Kyle, be sure to tell a friend, family member, or your favorite loud mouthed internet celebrity, Kyle would love that. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1186740/Kyle_is_Famous_Complete_Edition/

My Next Game: My Friendly Neighborhood

Survival Horror, but with Puppets

Hey guys! I am super happy to report that I finally have a brand new project to share. Ever wonder what your favorite children's TV shows would look like with a dash of survival horror? MFN is the marriage of survival horror and puppets, giving you an open world to fight through and explore, big mysteries to solve, puzzles out the whazoo, and a ton more. So what sort of things should you expect to find in My Friendly Neighborhood?

Non-linear, first person survival horror gameplay
A colorful cast of puppet friends turned adversaries (and maybe turned friends again!)
An array of puzzles in the vein of the survival horror greats.
A multitude of diverse environments, from the "BTS" Ray's Workshop to cardboard crayon halls
A grid-based real-time inventory, cause that's just way better
And a lot more. . . but I'll let you find that out for yourself

Also, just a note - it might be a horror game, but expect the same sort of playful, humorous take on things that you might have found in my other games. It's spooky, but I think you'll find a lot of smiles along the way. :) I'm really happy to report that this is by far the biggest project I've ever worked on. I have a TON of great stuff planned that I can't wait for you all to experience. . . but I'll let you find all of that for yourselves.

Could You do me a Favor?

If you're interested, could you drop a wishlist on the Steam page? That's by far the best way to support the game, and by extension me too! :) Thanks for reading! Hope to see you. . . IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1574260/My_Friendly_Neighborhood/

New Endings: Ghostly Edition

Hey guys! New endings have been added to Kyle is Famous!

I've added in a new set of endings relating to withering away while in bed. I've always thought that part of the game was a little lacking, and now it's been fleshed out to give some extra dimension to that choice. :)

This is set #2 of gradual updates to the game that I've been making! I think I might add some more endings to the ghost track later down the line depending on how people enjoy them. If you missed it before, I also recently added in a new set of endings inside of the interview where Kyle decides that he's going to become. . . Rachel May herself.

Hope you guys like the new content! Keep posted for more! - John Twitter Discord Patreon

Kyle is Hotdog - RELEASED TO THE WORLD!!!

Kyle is Hotdog has RELEASED!!!

Kyle has woken up today and realized something incredibly important. Kyle is bored, and is ready for something new and exciting to enter his life. Kyle decides to pursue his childhood passion of hotdog sales, preparing instead for a day on the streets instead of an interview with Rachel. 22 New Endings. . . Kyle is Hotdog expands Kyle's pre-existing world to include 22 new endings, including the eating of the entire leprechaun pit, moving Tyler around from inside of himself to boost hotdog sales, traveling to foreign dimensions, writing love letters to old high-school crushes. . . and maybe, if you look hard enough, a little look into Kyle's character himself. . . (but you didn't hear that from me).

Available Now!!! Kyle is Hotdog is available to play now for roughly the price of a hotdog. This was something I made from a love of the project and the characters, and I am SO excited for you all to crawl through and find all the secrets I've hidden around. :) Go give it a look! :) I love each and every one of you! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1263080/Kyle_is_Hotdog/

Kyle is Hotdog - semi-sequel to Kyle is Famous

More Kyle is here, in a big expansion! -------------------- Kyle is Hotdog is a new set of adventures for Kyle to go on where he seeks to pursue his childhood passion of hotdog sales. Kyle decides to not do an interview with Rachel that night, instead needing to spend his time preparing for his day of selling hotdogs. Or stopping the slug invasion. Or re-uniting with his high-school crush. Or letting loose a wave or orphans upon the world.
New Endings! -------------------- Kyle is Hotdog contains 22 new endings, with one ending that wraps the whole story up. Some are straightforwards to find. . . but some are very, very well hidden and are going to require some searching and thinking to discover. And beware of Techno Jim.

Re-Explore the World. . . -------------------- Like Kyle is Santa, Kyle is Hotdog takes place in the same world as Kyle is Famous and starts each morning in the same way. But, on any given day, if you choose to become a hotdog salesman, you find yourself selling hotdogs at the end of the day instead of at an interview with Rachel. The world seems to have also changed in many ways. . . I wonder if that can help you sell hotdogs well? Wishlist NOW!!! -------------------- Kyle is Hotdog it live to be wishlisted and will be releasing soon! Take a look at the link below and let me know what you think! :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1263080/Kyle_is_Hotdog/

New Endings Added, and Something Mysterious. . .

IT'S A COOL UPDATE!!! -------------------- I've been meaning to do this for QUITE a while, but today marks the first of hopefully many additions to the endings in Kyle is Famous that aren't linked to any DLC.
-------------------- NEW ENDINGS: This update gives a set of additional endings tied to. . . something (you'll figure it out quick). You can start finding them by going through a normal interview, but clicking "Become Rachel May" before you would normally read the questions. I'm planning on continuing to add endings to the base game here and there, so this SHOULD be the first of several updates to see like this. I'm going to be saving some endings for DLC, 'cause I want to make those tell a new part of the story in themselves. These are DEFINITELY worth checking out and are meant to flow into the 21 original endings pretty seamlessly.
-------------------- SPEAKING of DLC. . . . . .what's that button on the homepage doing there. . .? Is there something that's gonna' be announced soon. . .? (MAKE SURE TO GIVE IT A CLICK!!) Love you all! -John

Kyle is Low Quality and Wants to Win Things

. . .and Kyle is humbling asking for you to poke at the Steam awards for him. --------------------------------------------

Hey guys! John here!

First of all, thank you all SO much for the incredibly warm welcome onto Steam this past week! I really wasn't expecting for the incredibly loving and positive response you all have given Kyle is Famous. And I don't intend to let you all down! I hope to have something cool to announce sometime not TOO far down the line. :) BUT, here's the shill - if you like Kyle, would you consider voting for him in the Steam awards, particularly the Story Rich category?
