Hot off the success of Dark Dimensions: Somber Song, Daily Magic
Productions has just unveiled their latest game! This time, it’s the
start of a brand new series called Ominous Objects.
Ominous Objects: Family Portrait has been in development at Daily
Magic for quite some time. After many hardships, an entire world’s worth
of revisions, and many long nights spent pouring over every detail,
Ominous Objects has reached its final form. It is a truly unique and
exciting new adventure.
Instead of becoming lost in an ancient maze or sucked into a dark
dimension, the Ominous Objects games will challenge players to solve the
mystery of cursed objects that threaten their lives.
In Family Portrait, the paintings in your new home have come to life,
unleashing monsters, creating traps, and opening portals to another
world. You play as a father trying to save his family from the clutches
of the mysterious force behind these paintings. However, unlike Daily
Magic’s other adventures, this time you won’t be alone.
Meet Mr. Jenkins! He’s a clever young cat who belongs to your
children in the game. Once you find him inside your house, he’ll perch
on your toolbar and accompany you wherever you go. Have you ever found
yourself facing an obstacle in a game that’s difficult for a human to
overcome? Have you ever wished that you were much shorter or more agile?
That’s where Mr. Jenkins comes in!
But you might be asking yourself why did Daily Magic choose a cat as
the player’s companion? After all, felines aren’t known for being
particularly helpful – unless, of course, there’s a tasty treat being
offered to them. However, in this case, you could say that this cat
actually chose Daily Magic!
That’s right! Mr. Jenkins is actually based off a real cat, or more
accurately, several cats. While they were in the beginning stages of
designing the game, the development team kept encountering Siamese
Himalayan cats. One developer spotted one crossing the street, while
another dreamed of one! When they discussed these encounters, yet
another developer revealed that they owned a similar cat as a pet. These
experiences alone were strange coincidences, but what happened next was
almost magical.
One Monday morning, as the team entered the office, they were greeted
by a beautiful Siamese Himalayan cat staring up at them, as if to
welcome them. To this day, no one knows for sure how the cat even got
into the office, because all of the windows and doors were locked! After
the cat presented itself to Daily Magic, it wandered away, leaving just
as mysteriously as it had arrived. This strange event led to the
creation of Mr. Jenkins, who has wriggled his way into the hearts of the
development team and even onto their desks!
The people at Daily Magic believe that great games are made when the
developers put pieces of themselves into a game. The hearts of every
artist and programmer are embedded deeply into each location, character,
and mini-game that you will see in the game. Ominous Objects: Family
Portrait was a labor of love, and the development team sincerely hopes
that you will enjoy their hard work.
