More information about Date Time❤️!

What is Date Time❤️?  

Date Time is a Trilogy of games, which includes Enhanced versions of both Melissa❤️ & Morris❤️ with additional endings, new secrets & enhanced cutscenes! 

As... well as one last additional chapter... Anna❤️.

Anna❤️ will be a very large game that surrounds around the 3rd & final "date" of the Date Time series.  

But not just that, Melissa & Morris will return in this newest chapter, to finish their arcs, to finally meet each other again, and the three will converge to yet ANOTHER LUCKY PLAYER at the Library.

YOU CAN ADD IT TO YOUR WISHLIST ON STEAM HERE!

What will you do with the older itch.io titles?

The original Melissa❤️ & Morris❤️ will continue to exist for free on itch.io.  More information will be coming in as this develops.

There will still be updates to the CLASSIC VERSIONS of these Date Time chapters, stay tuned!

Where will Date Time❤️ be available?

Date Time❤️ will be available on both Steam & Itch.io.  An Itch.io page will be created as soon as the Demo is released.

What will be in the Date Time❤️ demo?

The Date Time❤️ Demo will contain Melissa❤️ Enhanced, as well as the first part of Anna.  

There is a special ending in the new Melissa❤️ Enhanced for people who have already played through the Classic story.  Stay tuned!

When will the demo be released?

I hope to get it released by Mid-May.

What Platforms will Date Time❤️ be available for?

At this time, Date Time❤️ will be available for Windows, as well as Linux & Mac.  An Android version may be developed shortly after release on desktop.

What Platforms will the Demo be on?

Most definitely Windows, but I will try to export Mac & Linux versions shortly after.

Why won't there be a Web Version of the Demo for Date Time❤️?

After quite a few months testing and consulting with other game developers, I found that the new rendering system I will be implementing necessary for the higher quality (and far more optimized) animation for Date Time❤️ is simply not compatible with a web version.  

I apologize for the inconvenience.

When Will Date Time❤️, the full game be released?

I hope to get you a general release date sometime soon.  

PLEASE KEEP IN CONTACT!

While I will try to post more on these devlogs, I also will be posting on Tumblr & Twitter whenever new information comes out about the game.  

Please keep in contact, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on these platforms!

Calling all horror enthusiasts and fans of retro gaming! Brace yourselves for a chilling experience as Dementium: The Ward, the critically acclaimed first-person horror title, prepares to invade PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles on April 19th, 2024. Developed by indie studio Atooi, Dementium: The Ward offers a unique blend of suspenseful atmosphere, psychological horror, and classic survival horror gameplay, all wrapped in a nostalgic retro aesthetic. A Legacy of Terror: Dementium's Journey from DS to Modern Consoles Dementium: The Ward first arrived on the scene in 2007, captivating players on the Nintendo DS with its innovative blend of touchscreen mechanics and unsettling horror themes. The game quickly garnered a cult following for its immersive world-building, chilling atmosphere, and challenging gameplay. Retro Horror to a New Audience This success story didn't end there. In 2015, Dementium: The Ward received an updated version for the Nintendo 3DS, allowing a new generation of gamers to experience its unique brand of horror. Then, in 2023, the game made its way to the Nintendo Switch, further expanding its reach. Now, with its upcoming PlayStation release, Dementium: The Ward is poised to introduce its disturbing world and thrilling gameplay to an entirely new audience. A Descent into Madness: Waking Up in a Nightmare Dementium: The Ward throws players headfirst into a terrifying scenario. You awaken disoriented and amnesiac within the dilapidated halls of an abandoned hospital. With no memory of who you are or how you arrived in this desolate place, your only objective becomes survival. As you navigate the hospital's decaying corridors, a chilling reality unfolds. You're not alone. The once-sterile environment is now overrun by grotesque creatures born from the twisted psyche of the protagonist. Grotesque mannequins come to life, spectral figures lurk in the shadows, and unsettling whispers fill the air. Dementium: The Ward expertly utilizes psychological horror, blurring the lines between reality and nightmare to create a truly unsettling experience. More Than Just Retro: A Modern Take on Survival Horror While Dementium: The Ward embraces a nostalgic visual style reminiscent of classic first-person shooters, it doesn't simply rely on retro charm. The gameplay offers a thrilling blend of exploration, puzzle-solving, and resource management. Players must scavenge for weapons and ammunition, utilize environmental objects for strategic advantage, and solve puzzles to unlock new areas of the hospital. The combat mechanics in Dementium: The Ward are tense and deliberate. Ammo is scarce, and each encounter with the game's nightmarish creatures requires careful planning and resourcefulness. This focus on survival adds another layer of tension to the already terrifying atmosphere. A PlayStation Debut with Enhanced Features The PlayStation port of Dementium: The Ward promises to be the definitive version of the game. Players can expect a variety of enhancements, including: Smooth 60 FPS Gameplay: Experience the horror at a silky smooth frame rate for a more responsive and immersive experience. DualShock 4 and DualSense Controller Support: Utilize the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers of the DualSense controller (on PS5) for enhanced immersion. Multiple Display Modes: Choose between a classic retro look or a more modern HD graphical style, allowing players to experience the game in a way that suits their preferences. With these improvements, Dementium: The Ward aims to deliver a terrifying and unforgettable experience for both seasoned horror fans and newcomers to the franchise. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What is the story of Dementium: The Ward? A: The story focuses on a character who wakes up with amnesia in a creepy abandoned hospital. The player must navigate the environment and piece together the protagonist's memories while evading nightmarish creatures. Q: Is Dementium: The Ward a difficult game? A: Dementium: The Ward offers a challenging and suspenseful experience. Limited ammo and resources require careful planning and strategizing to survive. Q: What are the differences between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions? A: Both versions offer the same core experience. However, the PS5 version is expected to benefit from the DualSense controller's haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, potentially enhancing immersion during gameplay.

I HAVE HAD A REALIZATION!

So as we know the person who is the voice actor for the voice mail is Alex kister (creator of Mandela catalouge) so far when you call the phone number from the missing poster nothing happens… HOWEVER this is where may 3rd comes into play! What if we have to wait until may 3rd for the phone call to work?! It is a possibility! If not that then perhaps something else will happen on may 3rd!

Happy hunting gen losers!

Oh also here’s another fun Easter egg! The person who composed the soundtrack for generation loss is the same person who made the dialtown OST!

Date Time❤️: Melissa❤️, Morris❤️, Anna❤️

Have you heard?  They just bought a hi-tech 8-BIT COMPUTER at the library!

Not just that, they installed one of those computer games.  What are they called?  

I think they call it a "Dating Simulation!"

ADD IT ON YOUR WISHLIST ON STEAM!!!

Date Time❤️ is a trilogy of three chapters, each bigger than the last: 

Melissa❤️, she's a sweetheart of a girl! A smart woman into science and art! You may be surprised how DEEP her knowledge GOES!

Morris❤️, a pouty mechanic who is secretly into poetry. Get close enough, you may find out where his TRUE TASTES lie!

It contains ENHANCED versions of Melissa❤️ and Morris❤️ with new visuals, endings and secrets.

But also, it will contain one final date...

Meet Anna❤️, she's a sporty, popular, go-getter of a girl.  She's done it all.  Kickboxing, Tennis, mountain climbing... but there's one thing she's never been able to take on and that is... Love!

Don't get TOO excited though, she's not just looking for ANYBODY!  If you wanna keep up with her, you got to show how ACTIVE and ENERGETIC you are.  Play your cards right, and you'll be part of her plan... ❤️OF SMOOCHING❤️ I mean.

Anna❤️ won't be alone in this journey.  Melissa❤️ and Morris❤️ will be making a return in the Anna❤️ chapter.  So if you've been missing your faves, don't worry!

The game is still under development.  This will be an incredibly large project to bring to conclusion this retro-horror dating sim... celebrating the era of early personal computing.

I want to thank everyone for the support and encouragement these last few months during the development and release of the original Melissa❤️ & Morris❤️.  I hope you stick around for this larger project.  

Feel free to wishlist it on Steam if you haven't.  

And please let me know if there's anything you are hoping to happen in this definitive version of the series!
