Not sure how many people will see this, but be wary of any messages from an account named vancemclaughlin. I received a message from that account and was logged out almost immediately after I looked at it. I did not respond, I did not click any links. All I had done was look at the blog to see post history.
As you can see, I was able to get my account back relatively easily, but I got a suspicious auth code text from Tumblr, and I can only imagine that it was an attempt to get into my account.
Be careful.
Decided to put an OC of mine who I'd yet to draw into NINAH for funsies. This was a very fun challenge! I plan on making more stuff for them, too!
If you saw this posted earlier, no you didn't you're a LIAR
Dario (they/he). Haven't come up with a "nickname" (like tall guy, cashier girl, etc) for them yet. If anyone has ideas, share 'em!
Additional notes/fun facts under the cut
Some little notes
As stated by them, their eyes are reflective! A lot of animals that have really good night vision have this trait. I thought it'd be a neat detail to include that for the night version of his sprites specifically, since that little bit of light would definitely make them "glow."
They take up most of the left half of the screen. This is intentional, a nod to just how big they are compared to other guests. Keep in mind that even Bar/Tall Guy doesn't take up this much space, even though he's tall enough to be out of frame.
They're also meant to be hunched over, though I think I screwed up the pose a bit.
Function idea (because I'm funny like that):
As mentioned in their dialogue, they offer to help prevent visitors from hurting other guests in exchange for being let in. At first thought, you might assume they function similarly to the cat, and they actually sort of do! Just in a more helpful way, I think.
You can talk to them at night to ask them to keep an eye out. They'll stay awake during that time, after Protag goes to bed, and will stop a visitor from killing a guest-- but why stop there? They deal with the visitor themself, and will greet you outside the bedroom to let you know they left the corpse by the front door.
They can effectively guard for one night without a break, or for two nights with a full day's break afterward. Once they've been up for two nights, they will be unable to stay up that long again for the rest of the time they stay with you. If they stay up one night, and you don't ask them to stay awake the following night (or have already), they will sleep during that night. If you ask them to stay up for two nights straight, they'll be asleep by the time the third night rolls around.
...and of course, they can still be taken by FEMA, and when they're asleep, they can be killed by visitors. Th
good lord i've been posting lately. it would be a shame if I... stopped for a big chunk of time
again
like I normally do
because this is actually unusual for me
anyway
I have an OC who might be becoming a NINAH OC.
It's so funny how they were initially a character from a specific analog horror series, who I then put into the Sims 4, who I then disconnected from the original media and vaguely oc-ified them... and then fully turned them into an OC....
.....and now they're in another horror media.
What the fuck. does this make any sense
