| MysteryCrown wishes you all the best in the Chinese new year | 2026-02-16 | MysteryCrown FMV Studio would like to express our deepest gratitude for your long-term companionship and support. It has been over two years since the launch of our first FVM, 'Try and love', on January 25, 2024.As a small-budget studio, our productions cannot compete with million-dollar projects in terms of scale or polish. However, over these two years, we have remained committed to our horror roots with titles like 'Back'，'UndeadReal:Ego'，‘Back2’,‘Back 3', while also daring to explore new genres (Worthy or not) and innovative gameplay mechanics (Pact between us). Regardless of the outcomes, we are truly thankful for your tolerance and supp |
| Announcement the Release of "The invisible Us" | 2025-11-22 | Dear bros who have long supported our studio, our new adapted product, "The invisible Us," releasedSimilarly, as an adapted product, it does not have a branching structure or a true multiple-ending setup. Bros who are concerned about this should consider carefully before purchasing.The pacing of this product is also relatively slow, focusing mainly on storytelling. There are no jump scares or horror elements, so those who are drawn to our studio for its horror FMV should also think twice before buying.However, because it deals with a relatively uncommon theme, my experience while playing it felt quite different. Let me share some specific fee |
| "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" Release Announcement | 2025-10-25 | Hello to all our longtime supporters and friends of our studio, "Back"! Our second fan-creation project, "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" is now officially released.Before you purchase and play, I’d like to clarify a few things."Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" was developed based on pre-existing video footage, so if you’re looking for multiple branching storylines, this might not be the game for you. Additionally, the deductive reasoning process in this game bears some resemblance to another mystery game released last week—purely coincidental. After reviewing feedback from players, I’ve further simplified the puzzles. However, the game st |
| "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice" - Release Date Announcement: October 25th | 2025-10-20 | Hey bros who've been following our interactive movie game series from 《Back》! Our brand new fan-creation project, "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice", is set for an early release on October 25th (this Saturday)."Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice" from the Beyondtells a story that happens beforethe events of "Mourningwood Lodge". In FBH1, Wang Hui ultimately met his end as a sacrifice, but long before that, he was already involved in other paranormal incidents.Furthermore, this prequel will secretly contain hints related to a future installment in the Mourningwood Lodge series (let's temporarily call it Mourningwood Lodge 3).As a fan-c |
| September 27 Announcement | 2025-09-27 | To all old and new friends of the “Back”series, “Back3:Spooky”is now officially released. Some of the backstory and reasoning regarding “Back3:Spooky”were explained in quite some detail in the previous announcement. Brothers who are interested can go take a look.To put it simply, “Back3:Spooky”is still far from reaching the quality I had hoped for. Therefore, for all brothers who purchase “Back3:Spooky”this time, you will still be eligible to receive a free key for“Back4”during its future promotional activity (assuming “Back4”gets made).Speaking of “Back4”, the current idea is to emulate the approach of Marvel. If the "Back" series tells Ren |
| Announcement One Week Before the Release of 《Back3》 | 2025-09-18 | To all guys who have supported the Back series, The third installment of our Back series, 《Back3》, will be launched next week. (The current store time is set for September 28, but there is a possibility it may be released earlier on the 27th.) It’s been a while since we last communicated with an announcement. The reasons are threefold: first, we’ve been busy adapting the second creation into a scripted murder mystery game; second, we’ve been occupied with seeking funding for Back 4; and third, due to various internal and external factors, we’ve been feeling uncertain about our path ahead, leading to some deep reflection and hesitation. So, we |
| Announcement 2 Hours Before Release | 2025-09-12 | Dear everyone,"Mourningwood Lodge" will be released at around 22:00 tonight, and there will be no delay.Our studio has never delayed any of its releases in the past, and we never will in the future.Before the launch, I’d like to share some thoughts with the brothers who have been following our studio’s work for a long time.First, about "Mourningwood Lodge": it is a rather different product. To put it plainly, our previous film-game products were all developed from 0 to 1."Mourningwood Lodge," however, went from 1 to 0 and then back to 1. This might sound a bit confusing, but the reality is that certain gameplay designs had to be tailor-made f |
