The Sauvage Family

Image
Presenting the characters at the heart of the HAUNTIBLES storyline: the Sauvage Family. For generations, these gardeners have expertly tended a prestigious Conservatory and Botanical Gardens. Now evil is about to descend on their quiet botanical paradise, and they must draw upon an ancient family secret to survive. First up is Kathryn Sauvage, a skilled gardener who lovingly raises both plants and a daughter. She has endless reserves of patience, kindness, and a quick wit that guides the family through numerous storms. Kathryn also tends to worry, and lately, her daughter's strange behavior has given her reason. Felix Sauvage believes in hard work, careful planning, and keeping a tight schedule. He has little time for flights of fantasy and wishes his daughter would get her head out of the clouds. This stern countenance disguises a tender heart, however, and despite his seemingly gruff exterior, he's been known to crack a smile from time to time.

The (new) Official Launch Trailer!

A new Hauntibles trailer has launched! This short film took a long while to make as it involved sourcing and dressing the set with antiques, lighting them to simulate the glow of vintage Edison bulbs, using my home-made dolly to get smooth shots, and then editing the footage down to roughly a minute. Phew! I'm very happy with how it turned out, and feel it better reflects the vintage mood of the game. Thanks to @papersofthepast for lending me the scrapbooks and @orchestralis for their perfectly ethereal music.

A Million Different Ways...

A haunting tale...told a million different ways. What does that mean? A million different ways? Well, that's what makes the story in HAUNTIBLES so unique. Everyone who plays the game will piece together a different scrapbook, one drawn from a curated archive of scraps that I've assembled. The amount of variety is staggering. There are literally millions of combinations. So, the scrapbook you see will be unlike anyone else's. Don't worry about missing out, though. Everyone will still get certain scraps to make sure major plot points come across. But there may be clues and insights hidden in scraps that you, and only you find!
