Welcome to Clea, a Survival Horror game made by InvertMouse, we play as Clea alongside her brother Ed, two siblings whose parents may or may not be suspicious people behind the creations of the experiments called "Chaos Servants". These feel like the best entities ever for night guard, not so much for endangering your children's lives.
"Mum and Dad have been experimenting on Chaos Servants, but now, the monsters have been let loose. Clea, with her brother in tow, must escape from the Whitlock Mansion. Watch your back, Clea. Those closest to you may be the real terror."
Hi everyone! As you may have noticed, some of the artworks on Clea's Steam page have changed. Yes, this means we have found an artist for this project, and guess what? She is Karousel-k, the illustrator from Without Within!
This whole time, I had been on the search for someone new, since I had assumed Clea's art style differed too much from previous projects to be a good match. Turned out artists like Karo are extremely versatile. This is the lesson I have learned.
The art assets are now being replaced piece by piece. Our next release will be an official demo, hopefully with multiple languages supported. Alongside that, we will have new screenshots, as well as a trailer. Please look forward to them!
Production wise, as mentioned in an earlier post, I have taken full advantage of the Christmas break. I am around 50% complete with the core game. After that, there will be bonus side stories, plus other unlockables will be announced as development continues.
Thank you to those who have added Clea to their wishlists! If you have not done so yet, hopefully you will consider it. I truly appreciate your support:

Longest Journey Yet — Players often ask for longer stories from me. Without Within 3 is double the length of WOWI 2, so while I still oppose against padding, I hope I have found a happy balance. Please enjoy Vinty's third (mis)adventure!
Travel with Vinty — Vinty travels to Singapore and Malaysia throughout Without Within 3. Just like in the WOWI 2, there will be links to real life footage of the places Vinty visits. I hope players will enjoy touring alongside Vinty as the story unfolds.
Synopsis:
Singaporeans have reported ghost sightings of Kiki, a calligrapher who had passed away several years ago. Meanwhile, Vinty receives a mysterious letter with a flight ticket to Singapore. As an aspiring calligrapher, she must learn the truth behind those Kiki appearances.
Even in death, Kiki continues to hog the spotlight. Must Vinty remain as a nobody for as long as she lives (yeah, probably)?
Cast:
Vinty
A failin—aspiring calligrapher who seems to attract only trolls, but she sure likes to fantasize about being famous while she's scrubbing restaurant toilets. The main character in the Without Within series... probably a bad idea
Exceila
Excelia is everything Vinty hopes to be. Beautiful, rich, famous, and most important, a calligraphy prodigy. Her popularity has plummeted due to a recent scandal, but as a competitor, she will do anything to become the best again.
Kiki
A fashion model from the 80s and 90s. Kiki's most hardcore fans, however, know she also happened to be a gifted calligrapher. Her spirit has been spotted around Singapore as of late.
Tai
Tai's calligraphy skills surpass even Excelia's, but the world is fair, and well, let's just say Tai would make great friends with the socially awkward penguin. These days, she spends her time whinging to her food court patrons.
Last week, we enjoyed the AIdol demo. We learned that sometimes parents in fiction are actually nice (shocker!), Nake could have gone very sinister with the knife scene (but refrained), and that Hana has some serious main-character-priveleges (but she's adorable, so it's okay).
This week, we will be reading the demo of The Last Birdling by InvertMouse, which is about a Birdling and human child's fight for their friendship as the world threatens to tear them apart.
The Last Birdling Reading Schedule:
Live Let's Read (on Discord): Friday May 19th, 4PM PDT/7 PM EDT/11PM UTC
Read by/feedback due by: Tuesday May 23rd (Feedback Survey)
-----------------------
Check out the Schedule to see what we'll be reading in the future, or the About page for more info.
Not sure what this is all about?
The goal of this activity is to provide feedback to EVN developers on projects currently in development, and also have some fun as readers, by checking out VNs we may not have tried otherwise. Every few weeks, we read the demo of an upcoming English visual novel. Feel free to attend the live let's read to voice a character or simply listen in. Or, read the demo on your own and submit your feedback directly to the developer. Please join us if you can!
