Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- releasing September 25th - 26th!
Today, August 31st of 2017, is the 2-year anniversary of the freeware Steam release of Close Your Eyes! The Redux version and original Ludum Dare versions are older than that (the Ludum Dare game turns 4-years old next April), but for the occasion I decided to push a full remake to release between September 25th - 29th, which will cost $4.99 USD.
The Remake has a plethora of new content, including new areas, threats, endings, and a new look, as well as support for Mac,in the original Close Your Eyes Mode, as well as four other modes (a remake of Girl's Graveyard, a brand new scenario named Close Your Eyes - Beneath the Surface, and new remixed modes for Close Your Eyes and Girl's Graveyard with extended story known as Close Your Eyes Anniversary Mode and Girl's Graveyard Challenge Mode). There's also a new hub world known as the Annex, where you may unlock goodies, select which game mode to play, and hides its own plethora of secrets...
Much more of that to come in the future, but along with this upcoming anniversary remake I made a little silly compilation video of one of the lines of dialogue in the game I made just to hear people say it:

Happy 2-years, Close Your Eyes Redux Final Expansion! And I hope you guy's look forward to the Anniversary Remake, much more information on the Store Page (and I'll update it with more screens and gameplay as we get closer to release.
Close Me NOW OUT
Just released a small little experimental game of mine onto Steam called "Close Me", for $0.99 USD. Hope you guys enjoy it.
There's also a complete Yai Gameworks Bundle now available: http://store.steampowered.com/bundle/4193/Yai_Gameworks_Complete_Bundle/
Close Me (releasing August 7th-15th)
There's several games that will release in the next year, starting with Close Me releasing on August 7th-15th for $0.99 USD, it's a small experimental game.
Other things on the table to release before the year is up are Close Your Eyes: Intermission, Blank Slate Remake, and the updates for Twisted Puzzle and Red Haze. There may be one or two other things that release before the year is up if things go well, or early 2018 if not so well.
Hope you guys are having a good summer!

Close Your Eyes - The Twisted Puzzle OUT NOW!!
The free DLC for the already free Close Your Eyes is now out! It's a little short horror experience made as a teaser for Close Your Eyes: Intermission, so hope you guys enjoy! Notice there will be a patch releasing tomorrow to add in the last ending, but I doubt you guys will have found that ending by the time I release the patch and it'll carry over from save files which made today already. Hope you guys enjoy~
Close Your Eyes: Intermission I've also decided to put some more into due to the circumstances, the price will be raised to $1.99 but the content will be at least double of what the initial plan was. Will release hopefully before the Summer is up.

Close Your Eyes Intermission - Chanting Piece
Firstly, I'm still trying to get Close Your Eyes: Intermission through Steam Greenlight. I'd appreciate if you'd consider voting for it at the link above, if it gets greenlit in time and if testing goes well I'll be releasing this in late May/June.
Secondly, the Chanting Piece:

Close Your Eyes: Intermission - First couple minutes of gameplay
Want to keep most of the game a surprise, but figured the Greenlight page could do with a bit more gameplay. Can find the Greenlight page here to help vote for it to be on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=912371754
Despite these first couple minutes being a bit slow and barren (and I want to keep the rest a surprise), I hope it gives at least a bit of the idea of the atmospheric direction. Releasing it next month (May) if it gets Greenlit in time for $0.99, the idea behind this game is it takes place after the original game but before Close Your Eyes 2 (and indeed, this is not CYE2), it sort of blends the original CYE style with some more akin to an ARG/Creepypasta (more on that in the game itself), and a new flavor. This beginning sequence is both kind of a tutorial to some basic concepts of the game, but also a detractor to get those this might not be aimed at to go to something else or get a refund or something as the game is a bit of a doozy and this is probably the least interesting part of the game, but the easiest. Won't say much more than that, but should be interesting how it goes down.
Close Your Eyes: Intermission Steam Greenlight Page now LIVE!
It's a bit of a sloppy set-up for now, but I mainly want to get it through Greenlight while keeping as much of it secret as possible.
Close Your Eyes: Intermission is a spin-off sequel to CYE, continuing the story but I will clarify IS NOT Close Your Eyes 2. Follow Marshmallow Monk into a nightmare land in a game that combines elements of the original CYE, an ARG, a Creepypasta, and a new flavor.
I hope you guys enjoy, if it gets Greenlit in time it'll release in less than a month (during May) for $0.99. Appreciate those who look at the page and consider voting!
Thank you for your time.
