Inspired by Parasite Eve, Cold and Afraid is a cinematic RPG the aims to capture the feel and style of the original classic. It features 3D models over pre-rendered backgrounds, a spectacular villain, and a funky PSX soundtrack.

Inspired by the original Parasite Eve, I've been working on a PS1-style game called Cold and Afraid. it takes place in Philadelphia, right before the change of the millennium. You play detective Ericka Westfield during the Y2K craze. Some crazy stuff goes down that sets the story in motion.
Heading into the new year, I've decided to roll up my sleeves and do the hard work of reworking Cold and Afraid. I began the project in late 2022, and have become a much better developer since then. With this new build that I'm working on, everything will be improved. More updates coming soon.

Human art just has a certain soul that can't be replicated by algorithms. When I stare into Ericka's eyes in this art, I see so much... I see what this case has done to her..

After 2 years on Cold and Afraid, I’m thinking of releasing it in episodes. The full game’s story is deep and detailed, and finishing it all could take another year. Therefore, I'm thinking of making it episodic, with the first part being out in a few months. Risky, but might be worth doing...?

Dreamcast-style fighting game I've been working on as a side project. Inspired by Rival Schools & Tekken 2. Something casual, no online, just 1v1 retro goodness.

Sometimes, if Ericka doesn't get enough sleep, she can begin to hallucinate when interacting with other people.

In Cold and Afraid, there are certain places you can save your game. One of them is at your desk in the Major Crimes office. You can also skip time if you have an event later on but nothing to do meanwhile.

Hey!
Have you heard of @sunamii-games.bsky.social's upcoming game, 'Cold and Afraid'?
It's a PS1-style "Law and Order" game you never knew you wanted.
In Cold and Afraid, you can call up some of your colleagues and ask to meet them at the local diner. Should your relationship be in a good place, they'll accept—from there, you can discuss the case, or chat about general events.

When you arrive at the precinct, you'll be given the rundown on operating procedures, and, of course, issued your firearm. Corporal Jin ponders on what kind of cop you'll be. How you respond to him, and others, will shape their impression of you.

Ericka Westfield works in the Major Crimes Unit at the 47th Precinct. You'll have to make sure to get up early and head to work —this shocking case is all hands on deck.

Demo for my PS1-Style crime/mystery game is almost done.
Are you ready...?
I'm creating a PS1-Style Crime/Mystery game. It's kind of like if Squaresoft made a Law & Order game in 1999.
