Retiring the Game
2025-01-24Hello, I have come to make the announcement that Good Night Peregrine will be taken down in the coming months, on April 1st. This is not an April Fool’s joke, as I’ve been considering this course of action for a long time and think April of this year would be an appropriate time to do so. The reasoning for this is the game is quite old, and I am embarrassed by it as it was written by a younger, more inexperienced version of me and it no longer reflects my current writing or characters. I have also received many hostile reviews that did not even provide much actual criticism so I was not very happy with the game as it brings back negative memories for me personally. I am very unsatisfied with how I wrote it and don’t think it really reflects the characters involved anymore, nor how I want to present them to my audience.

Thank you to everyone who played and supported me, whether you loved it, hated it, or felt “meh”, after reading it, I appreciate it and to those who gave me actual constructive criticism. It was a harsh but necessary first step, and although I do regret it and look upon it with a lot of pain and shame, I think it was necessary for me to learn as a writer and visual novel creator. If you found the characters interesting, or want more from me, I recommend checking my socials, especially my OC twitter @cr8sis_tan (or my toyhouse) for more of the infamous Perry and his crazy and disturbed friends (I post comics more frequently and I personally like how I present them than more than my writing for this game). As for future games and visual novels, it’s definitely something on the table. I have been writing a new one with much improved story and dialogue, but never really got enough proofreaders or feedback to actually move on with finishing it. It’s unknown if it will ever be published, but I would like to make another, better, game or visual about my characters (probably Perry, but also may be someone else) at some point. Thanks again, and remember Have a nice day, -Octotrooper
