spookY2K
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
...You wake up on a cold bathroom floor with a headache and no memories except a terrible sense of foreboding.
Something has happened.
Something is happening.
Something will happen.
Even worse, you figure out you somehow travelled back in time, to the cusp of the 2000s — a Halloween party in 1999!
At least the other guests, 6 singles ready to mingle, welcome you and don't seem to notice anything is wrong... for now.
Maybe, as you get closer to them, you can discover the dark truth about yourself? Or will your clueless involvement allow the party to take a deadly turn...?

I really loved the full-version!! Ricky was definitely my favorite but I really liked Nanu too <3
I'm curious to know, is Ricky the canon route?
I'm only having trouble finding the last ending (I already got all of the characters'/potential love interests' endings); not sure what I'm supposed to do for the last one :(Edit: Oh, wait! Nevermind, I just got the last ending, hehe!
Thank you so much for playing! :D

There is technically no singular true canon route, but Iβd say Bea & Ricky are the strongest contenders for that, yeah!
The writing in this game was absolutely brilliant. I was completely hooked on the countless twists and turns. I'm so excited for the release of the full game. Waiting with bated breath.
This was sooooo fun!? Both endins were so fun and even when it seemed like everything was resolved, there are are still so many possible paths the game could take on the official release for that juicy LORE π€©π I just hope that in the official release, that there are more customastionans for the the player character, like hair or clothes? π«£π But yea, I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AND IM SO EXCITED FOR MAY!!
Thank you so much! :D
Weβre definitely planning on adding more options for the player - do you have any specific examples for what youβd like to see?
Uh wow, did not think yβall would see this π I would definitely like more curly hair variations options for the those such as myself, as I noticed it only had pin straight hair and a few fro like options. For clothes, I just think that maybe there could be accessories, like glasses or headpieces to match the outfit? Speaking of the outfit, I donβt have anything specific I would like to change but maybe just more variety in colour? Idk π. Again AMAZING game, so excited for more!
Bea is not rocking y2k and that saddens me as a fellow sista. There are a lot of inspiring black women who could have been her blueprint from that era. I hope maybe she gets an alternative skin to complement that.
Just got done with MisterShins' Streams and this game was so fun!! Seeing all the various features, it's clear that a project of this calliber was made with so much love and heart to it. It really is exciting to see all the UI and art within it and I'm excited to see more of the story. I PROUDLY am a Bea fan and I can't wait to know more about her and her narrative!!! Mina, they could never make me hate you. And i STAND by my Vervain Picmix!
Out of curiosity, are the endings that are provided the finished endings or are there more to be planned for them?
Thank you so much for your interest! I'm so glad you enjoyed the stream and had a good time with SpookY2K!
Regarding your question, the two endings that are already in the Demo will more or less stay as they are. We might decide to add more CGs or do minor edits, but no major story changes/additions are planned at the moment.
This page is really satisfying
I'm glad!!! Huge shoutout to Rosia for being our incredible web dev wizard
Still working my way through, but oh my stars, this is SUCH a fun retro romp! As An Old myself, I actually recall living through the era this is set in, and moreover, the story hits so many of my favorite sweet spots: time loops, memory, and
cool and quiet vampiresdelightful and charming characters! Phenomenal work to the team, I'm looking forward to seeing more! β¨Haha I was definitely a little self-indulgent when conceptualizing this project, and I'm so proud of how our team put it all together! Thank you so much for your kind words!! π
Fun read! Nanuβs super cute, looking forward to her route π
Peak game dev collab! β₯ Looking forward to the full release.
