| Clea is out on Steam! | 2019-07-10 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33966737/853e46e6a23e824af6a8e670fe6a017f984e8cae.jpg Hi everyone :sasa:. Clea has just been released on Steam! No pre-scripted scares—your skills alone determine Clea's fate as she escapes from the Whitlock Mansion. https://store.steampowered.com/app/981020/Clea/ With multiple endings, secret chapters, as well as unlockable costumes and gallery images, I hope you will enjoy your time with Clea. Perhaps you might challenge and conquer Chaos Mode, which unlocks after your first run :neonya:? https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33966737/af7375c63a3 |
| Clea is coming (with Vinty mod) | 2019-06-25 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/7575822/3930a05d1f6f0c7db20fbcd6576df910ea4254ea.png Hi friends! Hope you are enjoying the Steam summer sale. I am about to burn my wallet when I get home from work tonight :vintywhy:. Hey, I would like to take this chance to introduce you to Clea, my upcoming 2D survival horror with no jump scares: https://store.steampowered.com/app/981020/Clea/ Clea will be released on July 10th! Sometime next week, I will drop a Vinty color alt costume mod for the game, too. I very much hope you can consider wishlisting Clea, then show your boy some support on release day. Thank you so much |
| The future of Without Within (struggle is real) | 2018-12-01 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/10736819/c8c4943fb011d4a3240e51272ae617a3e16e8481.jpg Recently, a reader asked about the possibility of a Without Within 1 and 2 remaster. Makes sense, since I would do a far better job now compared to 3-4 years ago. That is, assuming I have the required budget, and unfortunately, in this saturated market (one that is niche to start with), I lack the sales numbers to justify such an endeavor :vintydread:. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who sends me these messages. I still get emails telling me Without Within, especially the first one, has inspired people to pursue |
| Without Within 3 released! | 2018-05-05 | https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/32534187/e5dcb54243b2ececd800014930b3e05d84e14c27.jpg Hey everyone :vintysmile:. Without Within 3 has just been released! https://store.steampowered.com/app/676130/Without_Within_3 The previous game is also on sale until the end of the week, so if you want to catch up, this weekend may be a great time to do so. Also, as always, if you could drop a review afterward, that would be much appreciated, as it will help other gamers out a lot. Thank you for your support! See you in Singapore and Malaysia :excelia:. |

| Thank you for the past five years (The Last Birdling released) | 2017-08-31 | Hi everyone :excelia:! The recent sales week went very well, so I want to say thank you for that first. And now for today's announcement—The Last Birdling is out :bibi:! http://store.steampowered.com/app/629430/The_Last_Birdling/ Bimonia is one of the last Birdlings alive on this earth. The Birdlings see humans as sworn enemies, and Bimonia has been taught to kill on sight. One day, Bimonia meets Tayo, a human child hunting in the forest. Bimonia fails to kill Tayo, and they instead become friends. Mother will be furious if she finds out, or worse, this relationship may cause tension between the two species to erupt.

| The Last Birdling: Ten days left! (sales week) | 2017-08-21 | http://i.imgur.com/IJL1mVE.jpg Hi everyone :bibi:. Just one week to go until The Last Birdling launches on Steam. I hope to have your support there and then! The Last Birdling marks my fifth year not in game development, but at least under the name InvertMouse. I have released a good 5 to 6 titles on Steam now, and they have all taught me valuable lessons. http://i.imgur.com/rk5hXHA.jpg First, there was Unhack 1, which has many immature traits in retrospect. I must continue to accept critique even when it is for older titles that no longer reflect my skill level. http://i.imgur.com/lkxHKoq.jpg Then there is Bermuda, which I admit is a failure |

| Without Within 3's new artist | 2017-03-24 | Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well. It was my birthday a few days ago, so I am still in a happy mood :excelia:. Karousel-k is Vinty's original artist, and she provided the illustrations for both Without Within 1 and 2. This year, due to scheduling conflicts, we have decided to part ways for now. Should we start by thanking her for all the work she has done? Without her art, Vinty and Excelia's stories would not have been the same :vintywhy:. Today, I would like to introduce you to our new artist, Arisa-Chibara. Here is a preview of her work so far: http://i.imgur.com/SuLmdiq.jpg And of course, we cannot let a post pass by without Vinty: |

| Why I chose Melbourne | 2017-01-20 | http://i.imgur.com/uklggkd.jpg I moved from Hong Kong to Australia when I was a kid. Aside from that, our family never went on trips overseas. To put it simply, we couldn't afford to, so for 20 years, I never wandered beyond the borders of my state.

Well, this is it—I have decided to produce Without Within 3 in 2017. The story this time will take place during Christmas, so I am hoping for a timely release in around November. Please look forward to joining Vinty on her next adventure! You know, Without Within 2 is not at all a financial success, and I gave this series a lot of thought during my Singapore and Malaysia trip back in 2015. I am thankful for everyone's support, but those Chinese translations pushed the project over budget, so the journey has been difficult. No, I need to let Without Within |

I will be making two trips to Melbourne this year, and since Without Within 2 takes place there, I really want to share my excitement with you. My first Melbourne visit will happen in September as I check out the Madman Anime Festival: I will then fly over again in November for PAX: I do not have a table at either con, so I will be attending as a fan. If any of you are going to those cons, feel free to let me know! Maybe I will bring some postcards along as gifts if I bump into anyone. When I make my first Melbourne trip in September, |

| The future of Without Within | 2016-03-24 | Hello everyone ːexceliaː! I will be sharing this on both the WOWI 1 and 2 boards, so sorry about the double post. A couple of years ago, I found artist Karousel because I wanted to create a mascot for the InvertMouse brand: Original sketch VS Karousel's render And so came the birth of Vinty, who later starred in her own Without Within series. The first game was free, which certainly helped with reaching as many gamers as possible. I have never released a title that was loved (and hated!) by so many people before, so WOWI 1 will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who connected with this struggling calligrapher throu |

Back in October, I visited Melbourne to record those videos featured in WOWI2. When I was there, I already knew that once the game came out, I wanted to give back. This was why I bought the above set of postcards to give away. I have five cards with me, so that makes five winners. I will write a thank you note on the back of each card. How about this?
