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 everything I'm adding to these games here, just the core new additions. I will give no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on any of these, just know that I'll post an update on each game's store page when each one is out (or of course, keep the game installed to be notified when the game updates). All of these updates will be FREE to owners of the games (and free updates to the already free games).

Here's the full list of what I'll be doing (along with store links to each one):

Close Your Eyes [Old Version]:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/377330/Close_Your_Eyes_Old_Version/

Adding a new 9th ending, as well as updating the tech side of the game to play a bit nicer with newer PCs.

Take the Dream IX:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/428870/Take_the_Dream_IX/

Getting a new ending added, achievements, and updated tech to play nicer with newer PCs.

Red Haze:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/428860/Red_Haze/

Final update with Ending A, the A-Z Door, new secrets and random events added. The game will finally be complete!

Close Me:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/671980/Close_Me/

I'm going to delist the "New Game+" DLC and make it part of the main game (+OST), add new random events, get a new ending, previous owners of the DLC will get a new costume as thanks for supporting.

Twisted Puzzle DLC for Close Your Eyes [Old Version]:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/645840/Close_Your_Eyes__The_Twisted_Puzzle/

Will get a new second launch option w/remixed puzzles and extended Ending A, from CYE Remake ported over, to preserve it before a huge reimagining in CYER.

Please Love My Computer Game:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/796910/Please_Love_My_Computer_Game/

Getting a new .exe file added to its files...

Found Horror Game 11.exe:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/727720/Found_Horror_Game_11exe/

Getting Steam Trading Cards, Game 1 "Attendant" and Game 6 "Ominous Whisperer" are both getting huge updates, Game 8 "In Pale Moon I Saw Her Smile" will be released.

Close Your Eyes Remake:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes/

Big update coming to the game adding a lot to "Close Your Eyes", "Girl's Graveyard", "My Hole is a Mouth of Dirt: Director's Cut", and "Girls Graveyard Mystery", alongside a new Demo for the game released.

Feast Your Eyes:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/712260/Feast_Your_Eyes/

A HUGE overhaul of Acts 1 & 2 (like, actually a big overhaul that'll add a lot of new content, rework previous areas), and going to release Act 3 so the game finally finished!

Red Haze: Bruises Glimmer in Starlight DLC:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1553270/Red_Haze__Bruises_Glimmer_in_Starlight/

Gonna' try to fix a few things from the base game, and add a brand new second chapter!


Decaying Delicacy:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1488540/Decaying_Delicacy/

A HUGE overhaul and update to make the game a Director's Cut version of itself; adds a LOT of new and reworked content into the game. Price of the game when the update hits will raise by $1 USD, and will finally release the OST of the game as well. Also Steam Achievements. This overhaul is actually huge as I think the game deserves to be so much more than it was.

The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/667270/The_Miserable_Crimson_Hooded_Girl/

Adds a new mini-campaign you can play after you've beaten the game once, also Steam achievements added.


---


There we go. Again, NO ETA for these and will just randomly drop them (with an update to the store pages when they drop) over the next 477 days (to August 31st, 2026), but the first one of these updates happens this week. I hope y'all enjoy~!

Feast Your Eyes: Act 2 is now available as a free update for all owners! The update should last 20-40 minutes for most people. A few new secrets have also been added to the game and various little fixes.

Act 3 will release sometime in October most likely.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1251690/My_Hole_is_a_Mouth_of_Dirt/

"My Hole is a Mouth of Dirt" is now available on Steam for free!

Up next, I'm going to finish up and release "Feast Your Eyes: Little Marshmallow"! Hope you guys look forward to it!

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 course). I've been crunching a lot of numbers, working hard this last year and processing possibilities to make this questionnaire form, but there's a lot of questions I want to get some feedback for from people who already are into my games.

This form will take 15-40 minutes, I ask you please read the text and descriptions I post rather than just looking at the WIP pictures as I will be taking this feedback seriously. I thank you for your time all the same, it does mean a lot to me.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/833020/Dusk_Golems_Anthology_of_Horror/

I have a lot going on the hood and trying to get better how I handle announcements and releases, but I can confidently say (unless the game gets held up in Steam's review process) I'll be releasing Dusk Golem's Anthology of Horror on October 30th for $5.99 USD. It is a collection of three playable short horror stories, "Girl's Graveyard Mystery," "I Haunt this Place" and "Wail of Despair. More info on all three of these games' on the game's store page description.

You're going to see more frequent releases from me over the next 10 months. I have been working really hard, but also I have a time limit now in either do or die if I can fully rely on this due to some unfortunate circumstances involving my family being in need and myself needing to be able to provide for myself and others. I'm going to put my all into these next 10 months, and try to complete many partial projects and get them out there (and trust me, I have many).

These three games were originally planned to be separate releases, but as they're all shorter and had a core theme between the three of them I just thought it made sense to release them together, plus I love anthologies.

I'll try to keep you guys posted, but the best ways to keep up with Yai Gameworks news is to either join the official Discord or to follow me on Twitter. I'll link both below.

I hope you guys are having a wonderful Halloween October Month, if you haven't already you can check out a Red Haze Halloween Update currently going on through the month over on the Red Haze page, the Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- update got delayed some again and I apologize for this but some financial burden stuff came up (CYE-AR- is probably my worst performing game right now, but I promise I'll finish it, it does mean something to me), and I also can confirm there will be a small Red Haze update once the Halloween Event is over.

Outside of this I'm gunning to release something or another in November (but not clear which project I'll choose yet), and The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl will release on December 13th this year. Blossoming Yandere will be delayed until early next year.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/667270/The_Miserable_Crimson_Hooded_Girl/

The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl Steam Store Page is now properly up. 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 release automatically for partaking in that. Notifying in case you're wondering why you already have this game wishlisted/already own it.

Sans any major tragedies in my life or Valve making the review process take too long, I'm gunning for that August 20th release date. The game will cost $2.99 USD, I'll post more details about the game in the upcoming week on the Yai Gameworks Discord and Twitter, which you can find links for both below:

I very much appreciate if people fill out this Google Doc form, it will be running from February 13th to the 18th and involves a number of questions who's answers I'll be collecting for data for the future.

Red Haze will be receiving a small update on February 28th, and several other smaller updates at the last day of every month up until the Big Content Update hits.

Blossoming Yandere will release in March or April of this year:

More news, info and questions within the form. Thank you for your time.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes_Anniversary_Remake/

Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- is now out in Steam Early Access for $4.99 USD with a 10% launch discount (this will be the cheapest the game will be in at the very least the next two years, the game will gradually raise in price as more is added to the game). At Early Access launch, I am actively seeking back feedback and going to work closely with the community to shape up the game. At Early Access launch, the full 'Girl's Graveyard' remake is included, with 1-2 hours of gameplay. The 'Close Your Eyes' remake first hour or so is playable, up until the Judith Manor section of the game. 'Close Your Eyes - The Twisted Puzzle' is included, unlocked after 10 achievements in-game are completed, and has a few puzzle solution changes, a few new hidden things, and should give people a varying amount of gameplay time (depending how good they are at the puzzles).

I hope you guys enjoy, up until the Close Your Eyes Remake is completed, there will be fairly regular updates. You can play up to the current cut-off point and load your save file when new updates hit to continue where you left off. I look forward to communicating with everyone over the course of development, and hope you all enjoy the game!
