Are you looking for something to do this weekend? Perhaps something a little creepy or even macabre??

ECTOCOMP's voting period is almost halfway over, and the entries could always use more ratings and nice comments! Check out all 62 games on the Submissions page here:

Hilo en español sobre ECTOCOMP 2025

Jailbreak de n2n Mi entrada favorita de este año en español. Este comentario es un gran espoiler en sí mismo. Lamentablemente, no he sido capaz de comentar el juego sin reventarlo. ▶ SPOILERAZO: Continúa bajo tu propia responsabilidad

Updated the project page for my #EctoComp submission on itch. Now with a prominent Ink logo.

May add a banner graphic eventually. I am aware that you can get very stylized with this if you are actually trying to get people to play or buy your game. I am thus far not that serious.

But it looks slightly better now, and hopefully nobody will mistake it for a twine game again.

Dad's Shiva by Cidney Hamilton

Some families never acknowledge their monsters. Others bury them alive.

Finally released Dad's Shiva for this year's #ECTOCOMP . You can play it and other entries here. Thanks to everyone who beta-tested mine.

Okay, everyone wish me luck so I can squeeze in a quick game for #Ectocomp once I’m back home from the training course
Timing my #ECTOCOMP progress with a stopwatch and embarrassing myself by putting in just 17 minutes of work in five real-time hours.

Today I found the draft of a game I tried to write in four hours for ECTOCOMP 2022, but failed to because a bug ate up too much time. But the intro and ending are written, and they're actually good! Could I possibly fill in the rest for the Grand Guignol category with 11 days left before the deadline...?

By the way, you too could make a Petite or Grand game for ECTOCOMP in the next 11 days: https://itch.io/jam/ectocomp-2025
