- Close Your Eyes [Old Version] Version 1.3.1 Update - 12 May 2025
After the new content update released earlier today, including a new 9th ending, Girl's Graveyard being added to the main game without the need for the Goodie Bag DLC, that DLC getting more concept materials & old versions of the games, WASD movement, etc., had a few minor bugs I wanted to fix along the Rot ending path. I've fixed them now! I expect one more bug patch to fix anything else that may pop up, and then I think Close Your Eyes will be fully completed. Full focus and steam ahead to go to the remake. Hope you guys enjoy the update for the 10-year Yai Gameworks Anniversary, as I'm adding new content updates for all of my games.

- Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary; releasing FREE updates to all of my games! - 7 May 2025
Hey! Did you know we're approaching Yai Gameworks 10-year anniversary? Well, now you do! I've technically been making games since 2013, starting with Blank Slate, but "Yai Gameworks" was made officially in 2015 as part of becoming a Steam developer to release Close Your Eyes: Redux on Steam. So I have some surprises for y'all! I'm doing a HUGE 10-year celebration. What does that entail? I'm going to update every single game I've released on Steam. This will start in a few days from now, but the updates will roll out through the next 477 days (until August 31st, 2026). I will not reveal everything I'm adding to these games here, just the core new additions. I will give no ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) on any of these, just know that I'll post an update on each game's store page when each one is out (or of course, keep the game installed to be notified when the game updates). All of the…

- Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey - 27 December 2019
The Yai Gameworks 2020 Questionnaire Survey Form: https://forms.gle/aAHSNATPVih4uDcK7 Out of all the annual Questionnaire forms I've done, this 2020 one is the most important one so far. During 2020 and leading into early 2021, I have a sorta' time limit to get to a certain financial point in order to pursue game development full time. So I'm going to be trying my damndest during the next 15 months or so to get games out there and to increase my audience size, otherwise making games becomes a thing I do in my spare time (not the worst thing in the world, but it would limit what I can do of course). I've been crunching a lot of numbers, working hard this last year and processing possibilities to make this questionnaire form, but there's a lot of questions I want to get some feedback for from people who already are into my games. This form will take 15-40 minutes, I ask you please read th…
- Dusk Golem's Anthology of Horror releasing on October 30th - 9 October 2019
https://store.steampowered.com/app/833020/Dusk_Golems_Anthology_of_Horror/ I have a lot going on the hood and trying to get better how I handle announcements and releases, but I can confidently say (unless the game gets held up in Steam's review process) I'll be releasing Dusk Golem's Anthology of Horror on October 30th for $5.99 USD. It is a collection of three playable short horror stories, "Girl's Graveyard Mystery," "I Haunt this Place" and "Wail of Despair. More info on all three of these games' on the game's store page description. You're going to see more frequent releases from me over the next 10 months. I have been working really hard, but also I have a time limit now in either do or die if I can fully rely on this due to some unfortunate circumstances involving my family being in need and myself needing to be able to provide for myself and others. I'm going to put my all into…
- The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl releases on August 20th - 16 July 2019
https://store.steampowered.com/app/667270/The_Miserable_Crimson_Hooded_Girl/ The Miserable Crimson Hooded Girl Steam Store Page is now properly up. Those who follow me on YouTube or are part of the official Yai Gameworks Discord may have seen me working some on this and talking about it during the last few weeks. This was previously the Close Your Eyes Intermission/2: Glass Vedalia page, but I decided to give it it's own page later as it's not a focus right now and probably won't be for a while. Those who beat The Twisted Puzzle and got one of the keys at the end of that will own this game on release automatically for partaking in that. Notifying in case you're wondering why you already have this game wishlisted/already own it. Sans any major tragedies in my life or Valve making the review process take too long, I'm gunning for that August 20th release date. The game will cost $2.99 USD…

- Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- OUT NOW!! - 21 December 2018
https://store.steampowered.com/app/706710/Close_Your_Eyes_Anniversary_Remake/ Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- is now out in Steam Early Access for $4.99 USD with a 10% launch discount (this will be the cheapest the game will be in at the very least the next two years, the game will gradually raise in price as more is added to the game). At Early Access launch, I am actively seeking back feedback and going to work closely with the community to shape up the game. At Early Access launch, the full 'Girl's Graveyard' remake is included, with 1-2 hours of gameplay. The 'Close Your Eyes' remake first hour or so is playable, up until the Judith Manor section of the game.

- Update on Early Access release for Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- - 4 December 2018
A little bit of an update, this is not 100% yet, but it's looking mighty likely and I want to let you guys know ahead of time. It's looking like Close Your Eyes -Anniversary Remake- will release in Early Access on December 11th, it will cost $4.99 USD and have a 10% off launch discount. It also will be on sale for 10% off during the Winter Sale, but I highly recommend if planning to pick it up to pick it up during these sales. I'll be releasing a big update and up'ing the price to $5.99 in late January/early February, and then throughout 2019 as some big updates hit, I'll gradually raise the price more and more until the final price, which is planned to be $8.99 USD. The price it'll be during December at 10% off $4.99 USD is literally the cheapest the game is going to be for at least the next three years, so heads-up on that one. Want to make early adopters be benefited rather than peop…
