Humerous
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
The game contains some spooky and disturbing imagery.
Viewer discretion is advised!!
It's the season of Halloween and you've just finished attending a party that your co-worker dragged you in. As the party's finished, and your co-worker bailing early, you just remembered that your car was busted because of your friend that's been living with you for a good while now. Completely over it, you decide to just say screw it, and walk back home. You're sure that nothing can go wrong....!
....To an extent.
Humerous is a short, spooky, Halloween-themed game that was made for the RPG Makers! Discord "Spooky, Scary" Game Jam that takes around an hour or more to finish. The game has 7 endings total, and some contain same endings of different dialogue variants.
Dev's Note: The game was made under a month, though even with double checking to ensure there wasn't any bugs, they still might be possible to pop up every now and then. Also important to note that English is not my first language, so grammar might be weird to some.

Is there a walkthrough? :o I can't figure out how to get the true ending.
Ah, nope! Spoilers below!
To get to the true ending, you must find a hidden item called "Worn Paper' hidden at the start of the game. From there, shows a location of "items" that'll lead you to the truth for the skeletons. You must make sure to interact with these "items" before talking to the skeletons, as a new option will be given to you if done as noted! From there, the steps become linear after!
Got it! Great little game, I love the visuals, art style, and how distinct all the characters are :3
thank you so much! <3
A funny game full of spooky silly skeletons!! Has a really good storyline with a lot of surprises! Along with some funny skelepuns!!
Hi dev!! I just wanted to say that the storyline is very well thought out and is very very good!!! the characters have such unique personalities that blended well when they're together. And the true ending made me clap my hands, it's beautiful!!! so thank you thank you for making the game. :)
but you see, i'm obsessed... can i ask how can I get ending 3??
Heya! Thank you so much for the feedback and I'm truly thankful for playing it!
Spoilers ahead! Don't look further down if you don't want to see the path on getting Ending 3!
To get ending 3, Do not "pry further" or "Make a joke" to one of the skeletons! Doing a mix and match of these will grant you ending 3, and its variants!
Thank you Mimeface!!!! I will try again!!! :DDD
(SPOILER!!!) Do you mean, Ending 3 is the Bad Ending?
SPOILER!
In a way, yes! But it's on a lighter note type of bad ending!
All I'm getting is ending 4 and its variants :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
Ooh, my bad! The bad ending doesn't have an assigned number since the third ending can be gained depending what "kind" of ending you get (Bad, Good, or True)! So if you've already gotten the True ending per se, the third and last would be the bad ending!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
Select "Leave them be" for both skeletons! Doing this will grant you said ending! :)
SO AMAZING! Incredible art and atmosphere! Ous is also my favourite character ~ <3 and Grepa is el wiwi!
AAAAA THANK YOU SM!! Grepa is so el wiwi so true, and I'm glad you like Ous sm :,))!!
Oh goodness I nearly forgot to leave a comment on this! And it would be such a shame if I didn't, because this game is an absolute joy!!
First i simply MUST compliment the art. Mime's art is simply breath-taking, and there is never a piece that feels lazy or cheaped out on or void of effort. Even in parts where mime could reuse assets, they still go the extra length to create all new ones and that effort does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. it is not necessary and they shouldn't feel ashamed to reuse assets or anything like that! But all their work and love into even the smallest of art pieces is so noticeable and a delight to see each time.
The story is short and simple, but very effective. Oftentimes in games with multiple endings, there's plenty of endings that feel incomplete or like filler. but in this game all the endings feel appropriate! They don't drag on too long or too short for what they are, and they match the experience of the game well. I never felt like I was left blindsided by an ending but a few of them do come by pleasant surprise!
Even though we aren't given much time to know the characters, you feel like you can paint such a clear picture of them just in the short time we know them from the game! They're each so distinct and recognizable in their mannerisms, style, and attitudes. That kind of variation is so appreciated and nicely done!
Despite being a game on the "shorter" side there is so much depth to it and it really shows! The player feels so determined to seek out the truth behind it all. And learning that truth becomes incredibly satisfying! Even as the dreadful events unfold it draws you in itching to see even more of the story unwrap, even when you know what's in store. Knowing where a story might go and still be satisfied with it is a hard but great feat to pull off in a game!
And just in general, the game feels so cozy and Halloween-y, that simply existing in the space of the game you're sure to have a wonderful time with how dazzlingly stylized it is. It's like cutting off a piece of Halloween and putting it into a lovely and artistic game adventure!
I definitely recommend this game to anyone who loves Halloween, games with dark secrets, and beautiful beautiful artwork!
(ALSO MIME DID THEIR OWN MUSIC FOR THIS GAME APPARENTLY AND IT SOUNDS SO COOL AND SPOOKY?? VERY IMPRESSIVE!!)
Bonus note: i love the clown :o)
Another lovely feedback from you! Aaaa qwq!! Thank you so much for playing my game Arcade, and it is an honor to be reading such a lovely comment from you, and it truly means a lot :,)
Working on the game definitely has given me lots of challenges and still does to this day, that I've thankfully been actively working on becoming better at them! Thank you thank you truly for still supporting my work as well! I hope to see more from your work too! and they too are very lovely qwq!!
leaving a comment to remind myself to play later :)
