- MysteryCrown wishes you all the best in the Chinese new year - 16 February 2026
MysteryCrown FMV Studio would like to express our deepest gratitude for your long-term companionship and support. It has been over two years since the launch of our first FVM, 'Try and love', on January 25, 2024.As a small-budget studio, our productions cannot compete with million-dollar projects in terms of scale or polish. However, over these two years, we have remained committed to our horror roots with titles like 'Back'，'UndeadReal:Ego'，‘Back2’,‘Back 3', while also daring to explore new genres (Worthy or not) and innovative gameplay mechanics (Pact between us). Regardless of the outcomes, we are truly thankful for your tolerance and support for all our products.In the past year, to ensure the studio's survival, we ventured into secondary creations (such as 'Mouringwood Lodge' series and 'Invisible us') and even developed adaptations based on film and television content ('Mute'). Lo…
- Announcement the Release of "The invisible Us" - 22 November 2025
Dear bros who have long supported our studio, our new adapted product, "The invisible Us," releasedSimilarly, as an adapted product, it does not have a branching structure or a true multiple-ending setup. Bros who are concerned about this should consider carefully before purchasing.The pacing of this product is also relatively slow, focusing mainly on storytelling. There are no jump scares or horror elements, so those who are drawn to our studio for its horror FMV should also think twice before buying.However, because it deals with a relatively uncommon theme, my experience while playing it felt quite different. Let me share some specific feelings.As a piece of content addressing anti-school bullying, it felt quite heavy at times, and occasionally even stirred up some anger. It’s not exactly a joyful gaming experience, which makes me wonder—does this contradict the fundamental purpose o…
- "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" Release Announcement - 25 October 2025
Hello to all our longtime supporters and friends of our studio, "Back"! Our second fan-creation project, "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" is now officially released.Before you purchase and play, I’d like to clarify a few things."Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden voice" was developed based on pre-existing video footage, so if you’re looking for multiple branching storylines, this might not be the game for you. Additionally, the deductive reasoning process in this game bears some resemblance to another mystery game released last week—purely coincidental. After reviewing feedback from players, I’ve further simplified the puzzles. However, the game still contains some jump scares (at the very least, our QA testers were startled multiple times, though fear is subjective, of course). For any shortcomings, I appreciate your understanding.To be honest, creating FMV (full-motion video) games comes wi…
- "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice" - Release Date Announcement: October 25th - 20 October 2025
Hey bros who've been following our interactive movie game series from 《Back》! Our brand new fan-creation project, "Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice", is set for an early release on October 25th (this Saturday)."Mourningwood Lodge2:Hidden Voice" from the Beyondtells a story that happens beforethe events of "Mourningwood Lodge". In FBH1, Wang Hui ultimately met his end as a sacrifice, but long before that, he was already involved in other paranormal incidents.Furthermore, this prequel will secretly contain hints related to a future installment in the Mourningwood Lodge series (let's temporarily call it Mourningwood Lodge 3).As a fan-creation product, we've been able to optimize some of the issues players raised regarding FBH1. However, the lack of significant branching paths is something that's genuinely tricky to address. Just as I explained in a previous announcement, this pro…
- September 27 Announcement - 27 September 2025
To all old and new friends of the “Back”series, “Back3:Spooky”is now officially released. Some of the backstory and reasoning regarding “Back3:Spooky”were explained in quite some detail in the previous announcement. Brothers who are interested can go take a look.To put it simply, “Back3:Spooky”is still far from reaching the quality I had hoped for. Therefore, for all brothers who purchase “Back3:Spooky”this time, you will still be eligible to receive a free key for“Back4”during its future promotional activity (assuming “Back4”gets made).Speaking of “Back4”, the current idea is to emulate the approach of Marvel. If the "Back" series tells Ren Xing's story, then I intend for “Back3:Spooky”to start telling the story of another protagonist. Then, potentially in “Back7”, the two protagonists might meet. Perhaps this new protagonist is from another faction, and the two teams need to confront…
- Announcement One Week Before the Release of 《Back3》 - 18 September 2025
To all guys who have supported the Back series, The third installment of our Back series, 《Back3》, will be launched next week. (The current store time is set for September 28, but there is a possibility it may be released earlier on the 27th.) It’s been a while since we last communicated with an announcement. The reasons are threefold: first, we’ve been busy adapting the second creation into a scripted murder mystery game; second, we’ve been occupied with seeking funding for Back 4; and third, due to various internal and external factors, we’ve been feeling uncertain about our path ahead, leading to some deep reflection and hesitation. So, we’d like to take this opportunity to discuss things with everyone. (Regarding the code giveaway event for 《Back3》, we’ve received all the emails and won’t be replying to each individually. The codes will be distributed uniformly before the launch.) F…

- June 17th Update Announcement - 17 June 2025
Dear all,Today, we've added a new "XFile" feature, which includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with various characters during breaks—many of which are being released for the first time. We encourage you to check it out. In particular, these interviews reveal Gao Yan’s playful side beyond her serious exterior, as well as Song Yue’s gentle sweetness beyond her famously dazed state. We hope you’ll enjoy it.Our studio’s latest custom project, "Pact Between Us" has also launched its store page and will be available next month. As for why we’re taking on custom projects, the details are explained in the new project’s description—we won’t elaborate here. Simply put: 《Back2》 incurred significant financial losses, leaving us without the funds to produce 《Back3》 . So, we’re taking on this custom project to finance 《Back3》 .Currently,《Back3》 is in preparation, and we’re aiming for an A…
- 《Back:Fade》Post-Release First Announcement - 3 May 2025
Hi everyone, Today marks Day 4 since Back: Fade (let's call it Back 2) launched! Thank you all - old friends and new - for joining this second chapter of the Back series. I've been reading every suggestion in your emails and replying personally. As we're now discussing Back 3's script, I want to address two major feedback points and share our improvement plans: 1. "Not Scary Enough & Slow Pacing" Many noticed we removed jump scares (those sudden "BOO!" moments). This was because Back 1 players called them "cheap thrills". For Back 2, I specifically asked our writers to avoid them, hoping to create deeper "slow-burn horror" through storytelling. But I realize now: • My team's still learning how to make "mind-chilling terror" without jump scares • If forced to choose between "basic scares" vs "not scary", most prefer some scares So for Back 3: ✓ We'll add meaningful jump scares that…
- 《Back：fade》 launches tomorrow (April 30th)! - 29 April 2025
Hey guys old and new! Just a quick heads-up that 《Back：fade》 launches tomorrow (April 30th)! Quick recap: If you bought 《Undead Realm：Ego》, email me at [email protected] to claim your free key. If you bought the 《Back》 but missed the 《Undead Realm：Ego》 key, you can claim it now too. Why do I keep doing these "buy one, get the next free" deals? Honestly, I’m not 100% satisfied with my game yet. Starting from 《try and love》 → 《Back》 → 《Undead Realm：Ego》.I’ll keep this up until I feel i’ve nailed it. Buy 《Back：fade》 now, and you’ll get my next game free too! Launch time note: We’re aiming for after work hours so everyone can jump in fresh. With interactive movies, early leaks can hurt sales (looking at you, streamers 👀). No hard feelings – just want everyone to enjoy it together. Timing might adjust slightly based on real-time data. Now, my totally biased pre-launch review of 《Back：…
- First announcement for "Back:Fade" - 3 April 2025
Dear old friends from "Try and love", "Back", and "Udead realm:Ego", as well as new friends who have recently followed me, The sequel to "Back" - "Back:Fade" has finally passed review today and will be released soon. The specific release time will be announced in our latest notice. It's been a while since our last update, and I have many things to share with you. Let me explain them one by one - we're all old friends here, so I'll speak frankly. After "Udead realm:Ego" was launched and quickly "passively" taken down, I entered a period of contemplation. Mainly because I couldn't understand what had happened at first. I repeatedly communicated with the platform via email to inquire about the reasons. Even after finally learning the cause, I didn't know how to explain it to everyone, so I could only focus on developing follow-up products, namely "Back:Fade" and another new product we'll r…
