STORY Today is Julia’s birthday and you must help Julian set everything up to make the perfect surprise party for the love of his life! Julian will need help from all his friends too. Visit many places around town and help many characters with their shenanigans so that they might help you in return! Fly through space, sail across the sea, and go on many other wacky adventures with Julian and his friends! GAMEPLAY This experience plays like an interactive film, where most of the game has cutscenes and dialog, with some minigames in between. The game will change depending on what code you enter at the start. While some elements remain the same, the codes can change the outcome. Codes are unlocked as you progress, but the base game can still be played without inputting a code. Be careful as some codes have corrupt data so enter them at your own risk! FEATURES • Full Voice Acting • Streaming Mode • 10 Minigames • 20 In-Game Achievements • Multiple Endings • Unlockable Secrets • And more! MEET THE CAST Jumping Julian is always willing to lend a helping hand to those who need it. Making new friends is always his number-one priority! Jumping obviously being his second. This is Julia, Julian’s lovable wife. She and Julian live together at the center of town, always ensuring everything is going according to plan! The happiest face you’ll ever see! Gerald is a happy-go-lucky fellow who never hesitates to share a smile with those who need it. However, he always makes sure that his shop is in shipshape! Darcy is the angelic dancer who seems to never make a mistake. Perfection is her goal but is never afraid to encourage others who make mistakes themselves. If you thought pencils couldn’t talk, then you’re wrong. Mr. Write’s goal is to ensure everyone knows the proper ways of writing. I mean what more do you expect from a pencil, right? While being the ruler of an entire castle, Princess Angelica is as hyper and energetic as one could be. She’s always looking for an adventure and never hesitates to explore many areas in the land! However, she is most proud of her pet frogs, also known as “The Fantastic Frog Choir”! Enjoy yourself witnessing the many shenanigans these wacky characters get themselves into!

Press reviews: “A new indie analog horror/glitchcore game that has you exploring the dark aspect of a children VHS program from the 90s. The game is short but a lot of work went into the audiovisuals” Gen-X players “linear-ish horror game with ARG elements. does way better of a job with it's puzzles than 98XX, although i wish the game itself had more unique branches and interactions. highly recommended!” Levcrew “A unique indie game with a cartoon style that interacts with your PC. Gameplay is really enjoyable! The way the game unfolds goes beyond its boundaries, and it’s impressive. Pretty creepy. 9/10” Horror Reviews
