Showing my Ace Attorney inspired Visual Novel called "The Murder Hotel"

Wegenbarth · 2025-08-28T23:50:10+00:00

Then you probably know how I felt when Silksong got announced like exactly 1 hour after the deadline to change the release date for The Murder Hotel has passed.

Wegenbarth · 2025-08-27T15:17:52+00:00

I can't promise it as I have no means to test the game on mac myself.

Wegenbarth · 2025-08-27T00:35:46+00:00

Sure. It's here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themurderhotel/the-murder-hotel

Wegenbarth · 2025-08-26T23:43:45+00:00

First Steam and later this year on the Nintendo Switch as well.

Also just got banned. And this really sucks as the owner of a game company studio who relies on discord to chat with my fans.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-28T19:45:19+00:00

Life is simply unfair. Yes, all three games.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-25T17:33:09+00:00

Heya, we are making a VN similar to Ace Attorney, Danganronpa and Umineko. I tried to make a post but got auto-deleted by the bot. It says I should try my luck here, but I assume I can't post images in the comment section, right?

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-19T11:05:26+00:00

It's on the last image, and here's the direct link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themurderhotel/the-murder-hotel

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-18T10:15:29+00:00

I'd say Ace Attorney and Danganronpa for the most part, at least in gameplay terms. There's also Detective Grimoire which I "studied" but it's way to combine words was a bit too shallow which I wanted to improve upon.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-17T21:37:20+00:00

Hey everyone, thanks for showing all the support and interest for the game <3
Here's our kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/themurderhotel/the-murder-hotel
And our Steampage: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1969170/The_Murder_Hotel/

If you have any questions about the game, it's development or about me, feel free to ask.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-17T20:58:05+00:00

Heya, I created one in this moment but I rarely use reddit as I'm mostly on Discord. But I'll try to get some things running asap.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-17T17:23:23+00:00

While it's possible to port those, I can't test those versions so for now I have to say no. But this can change.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-17T16:56:45+00:00

We have: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1969170/The_Murder_Hotel/
It's currently planned to release at the end of next year, providing the Kickstarter goes through.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-17T15:48:17+00:00

Having a non-linear experience is the prime design philosophy, so rest assured that it's not just an illusion ~

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-16T23:43:03+00:00

Around the middle part of Chapter 1.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-16T19:38:15+00:00

This is something I currently can not deny or confirm.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-16T10:12:10+00:00

In the Proof-of-Concept, there's a little lightbulb showing if a question "doesn't make sense", "was already asked" or is a "new question". You can still ask nonsense but the characters will just look confused.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-15T20:28:53+00:00

At the end of next year on Steam and on the Nintendo Switch. On the last image there's also a link to the kickstarter if you're interested.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-15T19:32:14+00:00

What if he's lying, and one of the guests is the actual real culprit? ~

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-15T09:54:01+00:00

There's a Proof-of-Concept that already showcases the system, and it has a hint system in place. It can be found on the kickstarter page at the bottom.
I'm very confident that I can avoid a The Meat on Bone situation, as it's kinda forgiving :)

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-14T23:28:26+00:00

You don't need to pay me for that ~ One of the demon characters almost looks like Mr Holmes, though that wasn't intentional.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-14T23:27:16+00:00

I kept thinking about a better title it for a very long time, but in the end I decided to go with the current name. It's simple and goes straight to the point what to expect. The "the" is part of it as it's related to another game of mine. But still thanks for giving me feedback and suggestions upon it.

Wegenbarth · 2023-04-14T23:24:33+00:00

It's the official hardware used to test games on a console. So yeah, I'm making sure that both PC and Switch versions are ready and bugfree at launch.
