Hey! It's window of the 10-year anniversary of Yai Gameworks! I've officially been making little horror games for 10 years now! Three things to express here.Firstly, all of the Yai Gameworks games are on sale on Steam right now at the cheapest prices they've ever been at for the Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary. Sale lasts until September 1st, and I'll mention after this sale there will be a price increase for Decaying Delicacy & Feast Your Eyes ahead of their big updates, alongside Close Me's New Game+ DLC will be delisted from Steam (due to a shortly coming update to add all the New Game+ c

Close Me will be receiving a big update in September. The update will add the previously DLC exclusive gameplay content for New Game+ into the base game, when you beat the game once several new areas open up, as well as an extended ending plays if you complete the new areas on your second run or later. This was already part of the DLC, it just now will be put into the main game. Additionally, there will be several brand new random events added into the game that I'm adding as part of the 10-year anniversary celebration of Yai Gameworks, a new bigger secret will be added to the game, as well as

Hey! Did you know we're approaching Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary? Well, now you do! I've technically been making games since 2013, starting with Blank Slate, but "Yai Gameworks" was made officially in 2015 as part of becoming a Steam developer to release Close Your Eyes: Redux on Steam. So I have some surprises for y'all! I'm doing a HUGE 10-year celebration. What does that entail? I'm going to update every single game I've released on Steam. This will start in a few days from now, but the updates will roll out through the next 477 days (until August 31st, 2026). I will not reveal everyth

The Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey Form: https://forms.gle/aAHSNATPVih4uDcK7 Out of all the annual Questionnaire forms I've done, this 2020 one is the most important one so far. During 2020 and leading into early 2021, I have a sorta' time limit to get to a certain financial point in order to pursue game development full time. So I'm going to be trying my damndest during the next 15 months or so to get games out there and to increase my audience size, otherwise making games becomes a thing I do in my spare time (not the worst thing in the world, but it would limit what I can do of cou

Those who follow me on YouTube or are part of the official Yai Gameworks Discord may have seen me working some on this and talking about it during the last few weeks. This was previously the Close Your Eyes Intermission/2: Glass Vedalia page, but I decided to give it it's own page later as it's not a focus right now and probably won't be for a while. Those who beat The Twisted Puzzle and got one of the keys at the end of that will own this game on
