MÆRE II releases next week

Posted by Chris - 2 hours ago

MÆRE II is almost finished. I'm aiming to release it at end of next week and I can't wait for you to experience it. It is a sequel to last year's MÆRE and addresses the most common feedback from the first game - mainly that you couldn’t lose and that a single playthrough was enough to see all that it had to offer.


Here is a link to the original game if you never played it:


MÆRE II is far more complex, with each playthrough offering unique events, adding substantial replay value. In addition to that the ghosts can kill you this go around, which really heightens the tension and stakes. All in all, this is shaping up to be a much better game than the first.


If all goes to plan this will be the first of two games I release during this year’s Halloween Spooktacular, which as a huge fan of the horror genre is my favorite Newgrounds event. In 2023 the original MÆRE game placed 4th in the games category, and I’m hopeful that MÆRE II will receive an even warmer reception from the community when it launches.


I haven't got much to share about my other project at this stage, but it will be a different style of game and potentially be even scarier than this one. Or at least it has the potential to be.

i need Politics: China Edition

@BoiledMilkz Chris once said in the P-Bot's Daily Picks:
Politics USA is highly likely to be my last game about politicians but it certainly will not be my last game about farts lol.

Ok i have wondered how MÆRE is pronounced. Æ is a letter in the norwegian alphabeth (and it happens that this is my native language lol). So i am curius if the Æ is pronounced or its pronounced like "MAERE" or smth.

Its the Old English spelling of Mare, which is a creature from Germanic folklore that sits on people’s chests as they sleep and cause nightmares.

Theres one in this painting: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare

This painting was one of the original things that inspired the game. Perhaps I should do a post soon about the other things that had some influence the game.
