* Despite being shown off during the Development of Act 1 in the Batworks Software's Discord Spoiler Channel, the Runaway Bulb was not included into the Act 1 demo until very close to the release of the demo. Batworks Software's Dustin Andrews mentioned the enemy was not initially included as there was a limited amount of space in the lab's second floor for enemies, however the enemy was included after he realized he had already made a sprite for it some time earlier. This is why the enemy does not appear in many of the beta builds for Act 1.

HorrorVale (Game)

HorrorVale is an RPG Maker currently under development by BatWorks Software, The game was officially announced on August 30th, 2018 and a demo was made available on Sept 15.

## Development History

Development for HorrorVale began sometime in 2016. It would be two years until the game would be announced on August 30th, 2018, with a demo being released shortly afterwards on Sept 15th. This build of the game is often referred to as "Demo 1", and consisted of Act 0 and half of Act 1, where the Player would be required to obtain four keys in Skeleton Mansion and then would need to deactivate four generators scattered around HorrorVale.

Another build of the game, initially referred to as "Demo 2" but now formally known as "Act 1" was released on June 23rd. The Act 1 Demo includes the contents of the previous demo, along with the remainder of Act 1 allowing players to explore the HorrorVale Heights, and HorrorVale Lab locations.

Initially planned to release on October 16th, The October Patch was released early on September 19th, 2019 instead. This patch fixed some minor bugs, tweaked the difficulty of some enemies to add more challenge to the game after player feedback, and introduced a Secret Boss who can be encountered after completing the core content of Act 1.

## Story

HorrorVale's plot revolves around a Skeleton Witch named Alice. After her undog, Scruffy, is kidnapped by a race of monsters called Creepies, she embarks on a quest to rescue her pet. The game is divided into five main acts, each of which serves as a small disconnected story that Alice must complete to progress further in her quest.

### Act 0

The tutorial act, taking place in Alice's house. As her father has locked the doors to Skeleton Manor, Alice must find four keys to head out the door.

### Act 1

After leaving Skeleton Manor, Scruffy runs off, only to be kidnapped by a Strange Creepy that escapes over the gate. As the gates to HorrorVale have been closed, Alice has to travel to Mayor Finkleheim's Lab to convince him to let her through.

### Act 2

Full article: Characters

## Reception

Reception towards the Act 1 demo released for free has been largely positive by players.
Undead

Undead are the residents of the Underworld.
"Undead" itself is an umbrella term that can refer to almost any creature living in the Underworld, including Skeletons, Vampires, Frankenlings, Netherlings, etc.

## Attributes

Undead largely lack any desire or need to eat or drink, and are immune from disease. In most cases disease is actually beneficial to them. Many of them still eat for pleasure or enjoyment.

Undead are functionally immortal and will continue to exist until they choose to no longer exist.

## Respawning

After an Undead's body takes too much damage or is destroyed, their Soul will immediately return to the last place they slept, and their body will reform. This is known as "Respawning". The time it takes for an Undead to respawn is seemingly determined by distance.

If an Undead has never slept anywhere before, then they'll simply respawn at their place of summoning/creation. It's unknown why exactly this occurs, but it seems to even effect man-made bodies such as Frankenlings as long as the soul is "fused" with the body.

## Aging

Upon summoning, a normal Undead will be "born" as a baby, and will grow as normal. This seems to occur even in creatures such as Skeletons.

Once an Undead reaches 25, they will no longer age at all. An exception to this is if the Undead decides themelseves to continue aging, although there exists a very rare condition forces Undead to continue aging against their will until their body is completely un-usuable. Respawning will reset this, but everytime the aging will happen faster and faster. This can be circumvented by giving the soul a new body. According to Ludwig's journals, this only affects .01% of the Underworld Population.

## Reproduction

While "fleshier" Undead seem to have organs, all Undead are unable to reproduce naturally. As such, all children in the Underworld are technically adopted.

## Species

* Horror media monsters (literature, movies, games, internet)
* Traditonally Halloweeny creatures
* Folklore creatures (Wendigo, Yaramayhawho, things used to scare children)
* Mythological creatures (Cyclops, medusa)
* Religious creatures (demons)
* Anthropomorphic creatures (Animals that are associated with scary like spiders, snakes, and wolves)

Flynt Fulgore is a character in HorrorVale. He is a half-gryphon, half-phoenix chimera.

## Flynt Fulgor

Official Artwork of Flynt by BatWorks Software

## Etymology

His first name is a misspelling of Flint, the stone known to help spark fires, while his last name is Latin for dazzling brightness.

## Biography

Flynt Fulgor is the sole child of Dynn Fulgor, the current owner of his family's longstanding financial advisory company. Flynt goes to HorrorVale High, but is currently working part-time at a fast food restaurant in pursuit of his dream of the culinary arts.

## Recruiting

Flynt is an optional playable character. He is first met in act (?) at
(Location) where Alice (Interacts) before Flynt joins the team.

## Design

An upright gryphon with phoenix coloring wearing the HorrorVale Jock Jersey.

## Gameplay

Mostly unknown but his designer said he'd likely have a high defense with fire attacks and PC resurrection. Basically, a paladin. According to the developer, Flynt will be able to self-revive once per battle.

## Trivia

* Flynt is the eighth Patron-made playable character.
* On his announcement post, Dustin misspelled his name as Flynn. This led to significant confusion for a short while before the issue was cleared up. This mistake is also apparent in his official art, which is labeled as "flynnart.png".
* Dustin admits he had lots of trouble drawing Flynt's legs right.
Mothman

Mothman is a character in HorrorVale. He is an archer and a rival to Webs.

## Etymology

Named after the Cryptid reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia.

## Biography

Unknown, but apparently has a rivalry with Webs and is the leader of the Cryptid Crew.

## Design

Mothman has gone through several designs over the course of development. Initially, his design was more identical to the classic silhouette of the Mothman, however this version was scrapped and replaced by the more humanoid version complete with a head.

The modern iteration of Mothman is a humanoid moth with wings for arms and who uses his feet to hold and reload his crossbow. He wears a long red hood with a green tank top with clay-colored pants.

The version of Mothman originally revealed by Batworks (featured in the gallery section) has a softer head and more childlike eyes. This version had originally been intended to be a rival for Alice.

Mothman's current design is quite similar, however it features some substantial changes. This version has a larger mane/chest hair that circles his entire head. In addition, his hood was elongated and the fur on his head was made a bit longer and rougher. His eyes are also noticeably more wide to give him a more mature appearance. This "rougher" version of Mothman was designed due to his role as a rival to Webs rather than Alice in the final game.

## Trivia

* BatWorks Software has stated that originally Mothman would have been childhood friends with Alice, however, this concept was later scrapped.
* A reoccuring joke by the community involves the insinuation that Mothman is a recruitable party member when he is in fact solely an NPC. This oftentimes takes the form of mentioning him as being the best party member. This is due to Mothman being one of the few NPC characters to have full artwork, which has resulted in some people mistakenly believing he is a recruitable party member.

Red Name Enemies

> *"Your feeble "salt" will do NOTHING to me!"*
>
>

Red Name Enemies are a special type of enemy the player can encounter during HorrorVale. Unlike normal enemies, Red Name Enemies cannot be defeated by normal means in combat.

## Mechanic

Traditionally, enemies in HorrorVale are defeated when their Death Points drops to zero, however enemies that possess red text in their names cannot be defeated through repeated attacks. Instead, these enemies serve as mini-puzzles that may require a certain item or simply avoiding them altogether.

## List of Red Name Enemies

### Stubborn Ghost

The first Red Name Enemy the player encounters is the Stubborn Ghost found in the broom closet of Skeleton Manor (Act 0). The Stubborn Ghost serves as a tutorial for this game mechanic by blocking access to one of the four keys required to complete Act 0. The Stubborn Ghost will not attack the player and the player can freely escape from the battle. To be defeated, the player must obtain Purifying Salt from the kitchen and use it on him.

### Pink Fiend

   Pink Fiend is the second Red Name Enemy that the player can encounter. Pink Fiend can be found in the Forgotten Mansion on the second and third floor where it will patrol randomly, however it will chase the player if it notices them. Unlike other Red Name Enemies, Pink Fiend cannot be defeated except through hacking. If the player is caught by Pink Fiend they will need to escape the battle.

### Grave Hands

   Grave Hands is the third Red Name Enemy the player will encounter and serves as the endboss of HorrorVale Heights. While climbing HV Heights, the player will encounter holes with arms that reach out of them. Being hit will cause the player to take some damage. After progressing past Hodgepodge Hideaway, the player will begin climbing further up the mountain, only to find long arms reaching out of the ground and quickly approaching them. After reaching the edge of the cliff, Grave Hands will emerge and engage the player in battle. To be defeated, the player must instead target the cliff below him and destroy it.

### Super Stubborn Ghost

    Super Stubborn Ghost is the fourth and final Red Name Enemy encountered in Act 1. He is a stronger variant of the Stubborn Ghost from before, which means the player will need more than just salt to defeat him. To be defeated, the player must obtain four potion ingredients found in the nearby cabinets, and then use those on the table in the same room as the Super Stubborn Ghost to create Spectralodium D, which will kill him instantly.

Potion Brewing

Potion brewing is a gameplay mechanic in HorrorVale. Players will be able to brew a variety of concoctions throughout the game that can be used in battle to grant a variety of buffs and abilities. Although hinted at throughout development, this mechanic was officially revealed as part of the October 2020 Progress Report by Batworks Software.

## Mechanic

Potions can be brewed at cauldrons the player can find throughout the game. To brew, players must combine two ingredients, a "base ingredient" and a "secondary ingredient". There are five types of base ingredients that can be obtained throughout the game, and ten different types of secondary ingredients for a total of 50 possible combinations (although some combinations will result in the same potion being brewed, so 50 possible combinations but not 50 different potions).

Base ingredients determine the potion's general effect, while the secondary ingredient determines what or who the potion will effect. For example, one base ingredient may have the effect of increasing a stat, but which stat is increased would be determined by which secondary ingredient was used.

Ingredients can be obtained in a number of ways throughout the game, such as being bought from item shops, farming, or as drops from enemies.
Don't Know What

Don't Know What is an enemy in HorrorVale. They are the second Frankenling Experiment the player encounters in HorrorVale Heights.

## Trivia

* During the testing of Act 1, Don't Know What was one of the most difficult enemies that could be encountered, so much in fact that often times defeating him came down to pure luck. This was due to the fact that a scripting issue caused text boxes to disappear if all members in the party were afflicted with a status condition (or if the player only had Alice, it would occur after she was statused). This made it impossible to realize initially that enemies could reinflict status effects, essentially resetting the 3 turn timer. As Don't Know What's primary Fear Ability causes confusion, which results in the inflicted user auto-attacking, it essentially resulted in the game going into auto-pilot that was almost guaranteed to result in a game over if the player was hit once by Don't Know What.
* The item Don't Know What drops upon defeat cures a party member of confusion. This item is called the "HorrorVale Wiki", a nod to this wiki.
Skeletons

Skeletons are a common species found in HorrorVale.

## Overview

A skeleton is the name for the fun thing only the cool science teachers had in their classrooms. Skeletons are like that except animated and made of real bone, yeah exciting right?! Design wise, skeletons tend to be fairly identical, with some minor variations across designs (i.e. some have jaws, some do not). Additionally, while most Skeletons will be depicted as humanoid, the species that is skeletons are not limited to simply being humanoid skeletons. Since skeletons are nothing but bone, they are overwhelmingly bone element.

## Known Characters

* Dr. Nettle
* Marv

Super Stubborn Ghost

Super Stubborn Ghost is the fourth and final Red Name Enemy encountered in Act 1. He is a stronger variant of the Stubborn Ghost from before, which means the player will need more than just salt to defeat him. To be defeated the player must obtain four potion ingredients found in the nearby cabinets, and then use those on the table in the same room as the Super Stubborn Ghost to create Spectralodium D, which will kill him instantly.

## Trivia

* During the development of Act 1, BatWorks asked members of their Discord community for suggestions regarding puzzle ideas for the first floor of the HorrorVale Lab. Super Stubborn Ghost was one of these community suggested puzzles. Super Stubborn Ghost was suggested by bobaloochi, eLixa, and Axhell as a super power enemy who you would exploit their one weakness to destroy, leaving their arm behind for the player to acquire.

Wraps

Wraps is a character in HorrorVale, she is a recruitable party member and the Fearleader captain.

## Wraps

Official Artwork of Wraps by BatWorks Software

## Etymology

Wraps is named for her wrappings, or bandages, as are found on all mummies.

## Biography

Wraps is an 18-year old Fearleader at the HorrorVale High.

## Recruiting

Wraps is an optional playable character who can be recruited in Act 1. She can be found near Lugosi Lane where she has lost her crook. After searching the nearby graveyard and returning it to her the player is able to recruit Wraps.

Originally, the game would feature "Act Restricted" Party Members, with Wraps and Jekyll exclusive to Act 1 and being unusable outside of town (the player would be able to have them rejoin the party for side quests that occurred in town). During development, the decision was made to remove the act restriction, however Wraps and Jekyll will be unique in that they will still leave the player's party at the end of Act 1. The player will be able to re-recruit them by completing a side quest later in the game.

## Design

Keeping with her mummy origins, Wraps is covered in dull grey bandages, although they are displaced around the midriff, right knee, and left eye, revealing a body with dark skin and a yellow eye. The bandages atop her head are stylized to resemble bangs over her right eye and a set of pigtails.

## Gameplay

Of the three available party members in Act 1, Wraps is a support unit. She boasts significantly more Death Points than either Alice or Jekyll, however, she is not able to hit as hard as her team mates and her basic attack is capable of dealing on average around 60 damage.

### ◈ Blessing of Isis

An ability that cures Paralysis and Blindness status effects for one ally. Costs 30 Fear Points.

### ◈ Shadow Claw

An Ectoplasm element attack, a large claw erupts from Wrap's stomach and attacks an enemy. Costs 80 Death Points.

### ◈ Bind

Wraps binds the enemy with her wrappings, this attack inflicts the Bind status effect on one enemy, preventing them from attacking until they free themselves. Due to being a very powerful ability, it possesses a low accuracy. Costs 40 Fear Points.

### ◈ Ra's Sunlight

Applies the Sunlight status effect, reducing the damage an individual with this status effect takes from Blood and Lightning attacks. Costs 40 Fear Points.

### ◈ Blessing of Maat

Cures Confusion and Curse status effects on one ally. Costs 40 Fear Points.

## Trivia

* According to BatWorks Software's lead designer, Dustin Andrews, Wraps was going to have side quest where Jekyll would admit he had a crush on her and made his buff potion to impress her, only to reveal she wasn't into guys. This was removed due to Dustin reconsidering putting romance into the game and the strain it would cause with character interactions.
Fungail

Fungail is a character in HorrorVale, she is a fungus girl said to be quite fun to be around.

## Fungail

The selection art used during the Make Your Monster Contest

## Etymology

A take on the Fungi pun of 'Fun Guy', but using Gail to make it feminine.

## Design

Long purple purple hair covers her left eye while she wears a large spotted hat and loose-fitting clothes that give her the appearance of a toadstool, which she just might be.

Typically seen carrying a basket of unknown items.

## Trivia

Fungail was given a creator's choice win by Dustin in the Make You Friendly Monster Art Contest.
E-280

Experiment 280, also referred to as E-280, is an enemy and serves as the act boss of Act 1.

## Overview

E-280 is a powerful Frankenling designed by Mayor Finkleheim for the expressed purpose of defending HorrorVale from the Creepy invasion. When Alice reaches the mayor, he mistakes her for a Creepy sympathizer and directs E-280 to attack the player.

## Strategy

E-280 is not overwhelmingly powerful, however his battle his primarily an endurance run as he'll attempt to wear down the Player over time. In addition, E-280 is capable of causing the Paralysis Status Effect, which causes a paralyzed character to be entirely unable to act for three consecutive turns. It is likely over the course of the battle, if the player becomes too reckless, that Jekyll/Chad will be the first to go down, followed most likely by Wraps. This is due to E-280's Elemental type advantage over the two of them.

It is recommended for the player to ignore using Alice's Decompose ability and to instead rely on stockpiling Flu's bought from Jiang's shop (additionally, the player can backtrack to Central Square where Jiang sells Flu for a reduced price at 20¢ per bottle rather than her Height's price of 40¢). Furthermore, to prevent the effect's of E-280's paralysis, it is highly recommended that the player purchase and equip lightning badges for the party available from Jiang's shop at Hodgepodge Hideaway.

## Trivia

* During development, E-280 was considerably too strong to beat, even with party members. In addition, he was able to easily paralyze the player, and due to a bug where if a character is statused while already statused, the status counter resets to zero (Effectively stun-locking the player and preventing them from doing anything), which made being paralyzed a guaranteed game over. As a result, his attack power was reduced considerably and the lightning badges were buffed significantly, resulting in his current battle being more of an endurance run.
Rogue Pilot

> *"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*
>
>

Rogue Pilot is an enemy encountered in HorrorVale. He can be found at the base of HorrorVale Heights.

## Trivia

* According to BatWorks Software's Dustin Andrews. The Rogue Pilot's larger battle sprite was the result of accidentally drawing his artwork on the wrong canvas, however this artwork was kept in as it made the pilot normal sized compared to Alice and co.
