Entropic Float 2: Land Of The Witch
One year after the resolution of the anomalous clocktower in the Black Rock Desert, Kanatsune Ame is assigned a similarly difficult case. A rural town in the Appalachian Mountains disappeared five years ago- And the Anomaly in its place has only recently signaled its presence by opening an invitation. What will the World Anomaly which stole the town of Pine Creek reveal?
Joining Ame on this mission is a WTF researcher whose daughter was caught up in the invitation, but that's not the only ally that he'll find within the bounds of this strange town. Whether it's the mother of some kids he met last time, or a tax preparer who's willing to ride-or-die at the drop of a hat, he won't need to approach this particularly dangerous Anomaly alone.
And if he does get himself killed, well... Some old friends may just be able to turn back the clock.

Game Details
Entropic Float 2 is currently in actively development, and I'll be sharing any major developments. The demo has been playable since the Kickstarter, which concluded successfully in November of 2023, providing us with the budget for a certain set of CG images, the partial voice acting, additional title screens, and some commissioned work for the 'Letters To A Beloved Ghost' DLC released in March of 2024.
This game is a Point And Click Adventure created using the Ren'Py Python Engine. It will be releasing on steam and itch at a price point of $15 USD. Kickstarter backers of $15 or more will receive a code for the game, of course, along with the code they already received for EF1's $5 DLC.
Entropic Float 2's gameplay is of a point-and-click adventure with the end goal of discovering all the secrets that the Pine Creek Anomaly holds. Each item has at least two different uses, and by choosing one, you'll be locked out of the other until your next loop. Certain aspects of the game are randomized each time that it loops as well. The intention is to continue solving different puzzles, or the same puzzles in different ways, to discover new information.
Each time the game loops, you may find characters are less trustworthy than they were last time around. You may find the weather is entirely different. You may find items in different places than before. Though time is rewinding, the Anomaly is aware that something's happened, and shuffles the deck on you. It's not possible to learn everything in a single loop. It's a good thing you've got help.
Entropic Float 2 is currently planned to have 4 endings: the 'Clueless End', the 'Genuine End', the 'Impossible End', and the 'Understanding End'. There is no requirement to get any endings before other ones, but the kinetic novel version will show all of them in that order. If you begin the ending sequence with conditions met for multiple endings, you'll be able to select the path of your choice.
The Game's Accessibility Features:
- Entropic Float 2 is only partially voiced, but Ren'Py games include an option for the visually impaired to have a TTS voice narrate the game for you. This is the "V" key on the keyboard. This automatically mutes itself when a voiced line plays.
- The game will naturally encourage configurations which lend themselves to acquiring unseen events.
- If for any reason you can't or don't want to participate in the point-and-click gameplay, there will be a kinetic novel version on release (not planned to implement prior to the final beta test) which progresses through all endings and required events in a linear order. This is not the intended method to experience the story, but is here for anybody who needs it <3
- There is a page accessible from the main menu which answers each question from doesthedogdie.com so that those who need it can approach the game fully warned for any sensitive subjects.
- There will be a spoiler-free text walkthrough linked from the itch page and posted on steam.
