What is HorrorVale about?
The main character is Alice, a skeleton witch from the town of Horrorvale, where only the undead and monsters live. When her beloved zombie dog Scruffy is kidnapped by creepy creatures called Creepy, she is sent into the Underworld - a journey that turns out to be longer and more dangerous than she thought.
In game:
- four act plot plus educational prologue and epilogue;
- more than 50 hours of completion;
- Over 30 recruitable companions with shared experiences and personal storylines;
- about 60 side quests;
- turn-based battles in the spirit of classic Japanese RPGs.
What does Deadluxe Edition add?
The console edition received improved graphics, performance optimization and new combat content. HorrorVale was originally created in RPG Maker VX Ace: in 2016, the artist and musician made a bet - if the first one made his own RPG, the second one would write a soundtrack for it. Eight years and thousands of hours later, the game is out on PC and has a dedicated community: a recent Make Your Monster competition, where fans created monsters for the game, received more than 400 entries.
