Oddity - A Horror Daughter Raising Simulator
"Dad, am I a bad person?"
You're not exactly prepared to raise a 10-year-old girl, but you're confident you'll manage. But your daughter is a bit...odd. Sure, all parents have to teach their children that hurting people is wrong. And yes, sometimes you wake up in the middle of the night with your daughter standing over you, but that's all part of being a parent.
Well...there's also the monsters, the shady organization that is after your daughter, and the psychic powers. But you can handle it...right?
----

not new that it’s a hit-or-miss on stat raising genre for me, but this one hit and ticked the nostalgia boxes of princess maker goldies era that pushed me all fired up for the girl’s best/good end (have yet to get it since yknow, i could only buy enough for one of that tool so
SPOIL
had to separate with my daughter and then it was supposed to be reunion after those 10+ years? kinda cliffhanger.)the beginning of repeating deaths suprisingly brought me back to times of watching a death time-loop genre like rezero and when they cry.. it was interesting to see how it unfolded from all the way just encountering, experiencing a one-time strange event to having to accept there were monsters looming your back, getting introduced to this hunting organization before meeting ‘the daughter’, was expecting she would spare us from going through those deaths lol but at least points for monster knowledge(+free trauma). couldve been worse, ig.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I am planning to expand it to a full release. The full game will go until she is 18 and have crafting and hunting. Since this was made in a month + 17 days of editing afterwards there's a lot I couldn't include that will be in the full version.
Lol, it's great that you got the trauma achievement. It's a fun little bonus + debuff.
The ending is definitely supposed to be a bit of a cliffhanger just for this version of the game.
Yes, I'll definitely be working on Oddity and FrakenGirl in the future. Right now FrakenGirl is low on the list but Oddity is towards the top.
You'll be seeing some new games from me soon but I'll still be working on Oddity in the background.
I loved this game. It reminded me of the game that made me want to make visual novels. Embarrassingly, It was so long ago I can't remember what it was called but there had an alien and a vampire and a dress up/gift giving mechanic. Thank you for making this.
Thank you so much for playing! I'm so happy that you liked it. Ooh! I never came across a game like that before. It already sounds interesting just from the combo of an alien and a vampire. If you ever discover what it was called definitely let me know.
