Clea has just been released on Steam! No pre-scripted scares—your skills alone determine Clea's fate as she escapes from the Whitlock Mansion. https://store.steampowered.com/app/981020/Clea/ With multiple endings, secret chapters, as well as unlockable costumes and gallery images, I hope you will enjoy your time with Clea. Perhaps you might challenge and conquer Chaos Mode, which unlocks after your first run :neonya:? https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F33966737%2Faf7375c63a3193074c86e3af64cef578a5ef94ee.jpg Please remember to pick up that launch week costume via the in-game menu, by the way! Feel free to check out the demo version, which contains 1 of the 2 bonus dresses :vintydelusional:. Also, in case you missed it,…

Hope you are enjoying the Steam summer sale. I am about to burn my wallet when I get home from work tonight :vintywhy:. Hey, I would like to take this chance to introduce you to Clea, my upcoming 2D survival horror with no jump scares: https://store.steampowered.com/app/981020/Clea/ Clea will be released on July 10th! Sometime next week, I will drop a Vinty color alt costume mod for the game, too. I very much hope you can consider wishlisting Clea, then show your boy some support on release day. Thank you so much :vintysmile:!
- The future of Without Within (struggle is real) - 1 December 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F7686208%2F9e9a7c40189cfd86fb04d1198ac698d240e8ba44.jpg Recently, a reader asked about the possibility of a Without Within 1 and 2 remaster. Makes sense, since I would do a far better job now compared to 3-4 years ago. That is, assuming I have the required budget, and unfortunately, in this saturated market (one that is niche to start with), I lack the sales numbers to justify such an endeavor :vintydread:. First, I want to say thank you to everyone who sends me these messages. I still get emails telling me Without Within, especially the first one, has inspired people to pursue their dreams. If money were a non-issue, that would be enough fuel for me to continue. And now, back to the topic at hand. If Vinty's adventures were to continue, some major changes must be in order. Here are a few ideas: Light novels: Before Steam G…

Without Within 3 has just been released! https://store.steampowered.com/app/676130/Without_Within_3 The previous game is also on sale until the end of the week, so if you want to catch up, this weekend may be a great time to do so. Also, as always, if you could drop a review afterward, that would be much appreciated, as it will help other gamers out a lot. Thank you for your support! See you in Singapore and Malaysia :excelia:.

- Without Within 3's new artist - 24 March 2017
Hi everyone! Hope you are all doing well. It was my birthday a few days ago, so I am still in a happy mood :excelia:. Karousel-k is Vinty's original artist, and she provided the illustrations for both Without Within 1 and 2. This year, due to scheduling conflicts, we have decided to part ways for now. Should we start by thanking her for all the work she has done? Without her art, Vinty and Excelia's stories would not have been the same :vintywhy:. Today, I would like to introduce you to our new artist, Arisa-Chibara. Here is a preview of her work so far: http://i.imgur.com/SuLmdiq.jpg And of course, we cannot let a post pass by without Vinty: http://i.imgur.com/1ax3Rs1.jpg You can find out more about Arisa-Chibara at: http://arisachibara.wixsite.com/arisa-portfolio With the extra time needed to find our new artist, I have concerns about releasing WOWI3 before Christmas.

http://i.imgur.com/z08Z0Ca.jpg Hey everyone! Hope you have been enjoying 2016 :excelia:. Well, this is it—I have decided to produce Without Within 3 in 2017. The story this time will take place during Christmas, so I am hoping for a timely release in around November. Please look forward to joining Vinty on her next adventure! You know, Without Within 2 is not at all a financial success, and I gave this series a lot of thought during my Singapore and Malaysia trip back in 2015. I am thankful for everyone's support, but those Chinese translations pushed the project over budget, so the journey has been difficult. No, I need to let Without Within end. I love Vinty, but I cannot progress my career with a niche series like this, I thought to myself. Then one evening, I took a stroll around the streets of Penang, and as I gazed toward the distant beach, the ideas came flooding in. Vinty was te…

- The future of Without Within - 24 March 2016
Hello everyone ːexceliaː! I will be sharing this on both the WOWI 1 and 2 boards, so sorry about the double post. A couple of years ago, I found artist Karousel because I wanted to create a mascot for the InvertMouse brand: Original sketch VS Karousel's render And so came the birth of Vinty, who later starred in her own Without Within series. The first game was free, which certainly helped with reaching as many gamers as possible. I have never released a title that was loved (and hated!) by so many people before, so WOWI 1 will always hold a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who connected with this struggling calligrapher through the WOWI series. When I heard Karousel wants to focus on her own projects in 2016, I knew I needed to make a post and celebrate the work she has done in the past few years. I wish for her continued success as an artist, so here is her website for…

- Without Within 2 released - 9 November 2015
http://i.imgur.com/JoP9S0R.jpg Hello everyone! It has been a while since we last talked here in this group. I was working on the first Without Within around this time last year. When the game hit Steam, it received mixed responses initially, but I am grateful those who connected with Vinty really showed some serious support. Thank you so much for that. Back in 2014, I had no intention of creating any sort of sequel to Without Within. To be honest, even if people asked for it, if no story idea came to mind, it would be hard for me to budge. But you folks really were so kind with all the requests, and a new adventure started to brew, so I decided to give it a shot. This sequel exists thanks to you, and it is very much a game that belongs to the community. Juggling Cursed Sight as well as WOWI2 this year proved to be pretty challenging, but now, as we head toward the final month of 2015, I…

- Without Within 2 announcement - 21 August 2015
http://i.imgur.com/Pburkqu.jpg Vinty is attending a calligraphy event over in Melbourne. At last, she will be able to meet Excelia, the world famous calligrapher. Determined to study and mimic her idol's every move, will Vinty end up losing her identity? Early this year, I published Without Within onto Steam thanks to people's kind support on greenlight. In truth, the game started off very poorly. People hated how short it was, and many just loathed visual novels and anime in general. A lot of you gave it a chance, though, and that makes me really grateful. Though still thin by VN standards (shorter than Cursed Sight), Without Within 2 will run at around five times the length of the original. It will be a kinetic novel without choices, as I no longer wish to sprinkle in contrived choices again like I did with the first game. This sequel is also a "travel novel" of sorts as well. Through…

http://i.imgur.com/2Zue6n2.jpg Hello everyone! Hope you have been doing awesome. I wanted to share this progress image of Without Within 2 here today. The game will be in full color, so not to worry! Just trying to act all mysterious ːblushː. I need to release Cursed Sight before I launch Without Within 2. At this pace, I am hoping for a demo version to be released in September. A kickstarter and greenlight campaign will go up at the same time. September is Animaga as well! I have a booth there, and I will be doing some research over in Melbourne. You know, I like to make money, and I want my projects to be loved by players. Nothing new or special about that. With WOWI, those desires are still there, but I have a different wish as well. You see, through this sequel, I hope I will be able to connect with people again. Let's face it, calligraphy is a niche hobby, but if WOWI pushed people…
