Pride Month 2023 is over, and we at Fiendish Fiction are grateful to all our players old and new. We especially want to thank everyone who picked up Nameless: The Departed Cycle during the Queer Games Bundle 2023. For those who haven't heard of it, and while June may be over, you can still purchase over 450 games, zines, and assets by LGBTQ+ developers until July 7, 2023.

If you enjoyed your time with Nameless and haven't left a review yet, now's a great time to  rate the game and leave a comment. We're always listening to all of your comments and feedback to improve our next titles~

Speaking of next titles, Fiendish Fiction is excited to announce our newest project currently in development: Remnants of Dawn

Remnants of Dawn is an upcoming supernatural horror-thriller visual novel. While it is intended to be enjoyed as a standalone story, the plot follows the events of the Up All Night series thus far, with jaded protagonist Nick Torres on the hunt for a master vampire.

Hot on the trail, Nick finds himself enrolled in college, soon befriending and seeking to help newly-turned vampire Dante Jones. Dante, whose vampirism has impacted his college football career, will do just about anything to return to a normal life.

The full game is expected to debut on Steam and Itch.io in August, 2024, with a demo launching Q3, 2023. We will continue to work hard to bring you new content and updates, but in the meantime we encourage you to wishlist it on Steam.

Alongside our new game announcement, Fiendish Fiction has decided to launch a Patreon to help fund production. Every dollar goes right back into game development, with the current primary focus on Remnants of Dawn.

Please consider joining to gain access to exclusive content including early production artwork, sprite bases (they’re all in their underwear!), production devlogs, and at higher tiers exclusive discord access, monthly video Q/As, optional spoiler content, in-game credits, and even game keys and beta build access. Below is a sample of some of the exclusive content you’ll be privy to (hint… there are multiple variations of these designs, including, yes, underwear).

Our posts will contain thoughtful write-ups about art choices, character design, story development, the production process, and much more so you can enjoy a glimpse into the minds of our team as we continue to develop Remnants of Dawn, and other amazing games. Starting at a paltry $3 a month, you'll have access to a portfolio of quality content with regular updates and you'll be directly supporting a small indie team who truly pour their hearts into every game. We hope you'll check it out!

Thank you all for continuing to support Fiendish Fiction in all our current and future development endeavors. We appreciate every one of you, and it's your continued support, playthroughs, ratings, and comments that encourages us to continue making games. You can expect to see more content from us soon, including Remnants of Dawn updates and a submission to the upcoming O2A2 2023 Visual Novel Jam.

Thank you again, and as always… Stay Fiendish!
