When I revealed the cover for Void Beckoning, the chapbook my horror story “The Rings of Khal’Uth” will be published in, I mentioned that the publisher would be holding a Kickstarter campaign in the near future.

Well, Gehenna & Hinnom’s 2019 Kickstarter campaign is now live.

This campaign will cover the costs for their 2019 lineup, which includes a series of novelettes, the three chapbooks, and their magazine.

If you’re a horror fan and want to help out these publications, check out the Kickstarter and spread the word.

Now, since it’s February, I’d planned on starting up a new “Celebrating All Things Romantic” event to focus on romance-themed games and visual novels, like my horror-themed “Celebrating All Things Spooky” event in October. However, with how things worked out, I never got a good enough start to make it possible for this year.

But it’s still possible for next year, so let me know if you would be interested in that for the future!

Meanwhile, NIS has released more details about Murder Detective: Jack the Ripper, which really sounds interesting. My main question now is if there’s a middle ground between the “Detective” and “Murderer” routes, or if you’re always pushed to one extreme.

I’m really hoping this gets localized.

Don’t forget to check out the Gehenna & Hinnom Kickstarter campaign, and let me know your thoughts on that, my idea for a romance-themed event, and Murder Detective in the comments!

Celebrating All Things Spooky: The Darkside Detective

Today’s post isn’t quite a review, because I already reviewed The Darkside Detective for Nintendo Chit Chat.

But in keeping with the season, I’d like to celebrate this humorous point-and-click adventure game. It follows a detective who investigates supernatural cases, and it won me over with its humor.

Yes, while it’s definitely spooky, it’s not scary. If you prefer the more lighthearted side of Halloween, check it out!

The Darkside Detective features 6 cases, plus 3 bonus cases that were added for free after the game’s launch. Each is a mini investigation into some sort of supernatural event, usually full of parodies, references, and wacky dialogue.

Right now, the developers are running a Kickstarter campaign for a sequel, which will be released on the PC/Mac/Linux and Nintendo Switch. The sequel will also have 6 cases.

They met their main Kickstarter goal, and now they’re aiming for their first stretch goal: an anthology case focused on other characters. There’s just under 48 hours left in the campaign.

Anyway, although we focus a lot on horror for Celebrating All Things Spooky, we do take some time for comedies that fit the theme, so I had to highlight The Darkside Detective. I enjoyed the original game and its bonus cases a lot, and I’m looking forward to the sequel.

“Enchanter: Rhea’s Quest” is a Short Story in the World of Destiny Chronicles

Our Kickstarter campaign for Destiny Chronicles is still ongoing, and I recently wrote a tie-in story about one of the supporting characters.

Titled “Enchanter: Rhea’s Quest,” it is a short fantasy story.

Rhea, whom we introduced in this campaign, will appear in the game as a side character who can enchant your gear to give it special bonuses.

Before the events of the game, however, Rhea dreamed of becoming a combat mage. This story focuses on her backstory.

It’s just a short glimpse into the world of Destiny Chronicles, but I thought it was a nice touch to give this side character more of an introduction, as well as to show more of the story and world in general.

You can find it here, as a PDF file included in our latest update. I hope you enjoy it!

And if you enjoy “Enchanter: Rhea’s Quest” and also like JRPGs, please consider supporting Destiny Chronicles on Kickstarter and spreading the word.
