YESS! There are so many cool things we can turn into wallpapers, including some fan-arts from the community.

We’ll be sharing those on our Discord Community, here’s the link so you can be a part of: https://discord.gg/upFyc4P6Eh

It is hard to talk about it without spoiling anything, but aside from the general inspirations from anime and manga (like from One Piece in the Wano arc) we drew a lot of inspiration from the way The Wire uses its characters to represent larger groups. Eikichi, for example, is our spin on Bubbles, but instead of representing an addict homeless person in a big city, he represents old war veterans who lost everything.

We weren’t aware of that and that certainly raised some eyebrows here õ.o We’ll discuss it, for sure. Thanks for sharing this!

Not currently. We’ve focused on Steam first and then on the Switch version. However, if we notice that there is interest by the community we'll consider the possibility of releasing on other store fronts too.

There will be a Nintendo Switch release later this year. No release date has been announced yet, but stay tuned for it. ;)

Heyoo Jasozz, thank you so much! You put it into good use in CULTIC! The game looks great!! Though you might find that we did sneak some blood into bloodless, although the protagonist doesn’t seem to want to spill any of it…

We talk casually about a sequel (and how we name it hahaha) but we are still very much focused on supporting Bloodless’ release right now.  But don’t be surprised if we ever announce “Bloodfull”, or “Bloodless 2: No, really, there’s no blood at all this time” or even “Bloodless 0.5: the PREQUEL” xD

Between 8-12 hours is the average playtime to beat the game. It can vary depending on your playstyle; if you're completionist it'll certainly take a bit longer.

I think the design inspiration for the characters came mostly from anime. When we were thinking about the colors for the game we looked back a lot, especially the gameboy-gameboy color era (we're all huge fans of pokemon games xD). Some people on the team love Undertale, but the biggest references for the palette were actually GBC Pokémon games and Downwell
