I Went into the Swamp and Came Back with a Demo (Nearly)

Hello friends and travelers, I’ve been swamp-deep working on the playable demo for Everybody’s Stranger, and I’m super excited to share some progress with you. The demo is now fully playable from start to finish(es), with the opening moments of the Inn experience feeling underway and polished enough to let people explore and interact with characters in meaningful ways. It's not ready just yet, but you can sign up to be notified below.

You can now:

• Start and complete 15+ fully-developed quests

• Run the Inn, cooking for and feeding guests, and rearranging the furniture

• Meet and interact with 23 fully-voiced NPCs, all with unique storylines, routines, preferences, and quirks

• Craft a ton of items, from desserts to rapiers

• Catch fish to the beat of 6 original tracks

• Plant and grow a bunch of seasonal (Spring) crops

• Listen to 19 original tracks of music

There’s still work to do on testing, visual polish, and recording voices for a few more characters, however the core feel of the game and its cast of cozy, strange NPCs is beginning to shine.

Huge thanks to everyone who’s followed along so far. Stay tuned for demo dates, and if you want to follow the game’s progress, check it out on TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram.

Wishlists and feedback are fuel to my little swamp soul, and I’m grateful for every bit of it.
