It''s #AUSPEX day again. For the 329th time, but perhaps it doesn't matter.

Everything old is still old, but older, and that is still kind of new.

We probably should have 360 days in a year, it would feel much more satisfying.

That's it, #AUSPEX day 366 has come.

No, you won't know how it ends and what's up those stairs unless you play the game.

Thank you all for following and supporting my absurd project, this made my year :tealheart:

I'll publish a detailed article about the whole process soon. There's still one last album to be released, and a few atrocious collision boxes to fix.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I'm starting something similar in 2025, though exclusively focused on music. Which means... Tomorrow LOL

Stay tuned and Happy New Year :)

The 366 levels (well, 367 if you count the starting room) are available here, for free:

The last part of the #AUSPEX soundtrack is out! Apparently I’ve managed to release one album per month while simultaneously working on the game and adding a new level every day.

If you listen to the twelve albums in chronological order, you should get something similar to playing the whole game after entering the closest door on the right. But without falling again and again in the bottomless abyss…

https://lectronice.bandcamp.com/album/capricorn

The adventure continues tomorrow in a different format. Stay tuned :)
