AREwVS (alphas -1a and -1b) released on Itch!

As of October 11th, AREwVS alphas -1a and -1b have been made public. Originally packaged on October 10th, development started around two weeks ago.

Why are the alphas in negative numbers? It's a prototype of my idea to bring back the game and give it the care it needs. I'll probably take it out of the negative number increments once I get to finishing the History Level.

Spoilers for added content below!!

Alpha -1a release:

• New enemy: The Camera
  • Spawns in the Math Level.
  • Has limited vision, so try to sneak around it if possible.
  • If it sees you, it will try to take your picture with a bright flash (don't look)!
  • Inspired by the camera asset seen in the Red Room of the Math Level!
• New difficulty: Hard
  • An intermediate difficulty between Default and Brainiac, made so that Brainiac can be restored to former glory without creating a difficulty gap.
• Halloween feeling.
  • Pumpkins spawn around the maps. Head Teacher's cat costume is automatically applied as well.
  • (Via device clock) lasts from early October till the start of November.
• Some QOL changes.
  • Recoded Viktor among other things.
  • Viktor changing time now depends on difficulty.
  • Locked doors now have color-coded handles for the corresponding key.
  • Helpscreen in Tutorial can now be skipped.
  • Some bug fixes and changes.
  • Restored some early alpha Notebook sounds.
  • Re-added some removed item placements in the Math Level.
  • Re-added insanity death.

Alpha -1b release;

• Added the Camera to the Language Level.
• Marzia getting angry now can activate the Camera.
• Buffed Viktor's finale walk speeds for all difficulties.
• Fixed an oversight where Viktor and the Camera used the Default difficulty stat values regardless of the picked difficulty.
