'curlys lack of proper intervention enabled jimmy to continue his abuse towards anya and the rest of the crew and his character is a showcase of how men refuse to acknowledge the issue and take it seriously when their friends turn out to be predators. his inaction becoming the initial cause of everyones demise in the end is part of the games commentary on rape culture and how it affects the victims and everyone around them'
and
'curly isnt an inherently evil person but in fact a very human and relatable character who was genuinely upset with wht jimmy did but didnt want to take drastic measures in tht very moment to avoid causing more harm to anyone bcuz he knew jimmy was unpredictable and prone to becoming aggressive and he tried to handle the situation carefully (altho failed to do so in the end)'
r 2 statements tht can coexist btw
BOO 👻 I'm going to be tabling at Halloween OCAD Artist Alley (OAA) 2024 @ocadartistalley with official STUDIO INVESTIGRAVE merch, such as:

The full catalogue will be uploaded by next week so you can take a look at what SIG items are in store for you ahead of time- so for those that's going to be around Toronto, Canada on October 12th, keep an eye out!
(And for those who can't make it to the physical event, don't worry, they will be available later via online shop!)
i think people are too hard on anya (obviously) but especially on the whole “why become a nurse if you’re afraid of blood/ cant give a guy medication,” because that’s not what she can’t do. she more than likely never assumed any of her coworkers or FRIENDS for that matter would be in a state like curly’s. she hates to see someone she cared about and trusted in that much constant pain, and the reason she can’t bear to give him his medicine is because she knows how much it hurts him, and hearing her friend choke down and sob in agony is understandably very upsetting. sure she is sensitive but i honestly feel like people should be more empathetic towards that. idk. i’m sensitive, aubrey
Here are my Dungeon meshi stickers! I basically thought "hey. lots of people will have cute food themed stickers. And that good and well, but I want that serious stuff too!" So I decided to make a series for the main gang based on sense of self instead!
hi rach youre extremely cool your art is a ginormous inspiration to me and i was just wondering,, which of your upcoming games are you most excited about and why?
AHRG thank you so much, it's an honor that someone enjoys my art enough to be an inspiration!
Definitely most excited for Jackpot Crash Course at the time, I don't think I've made a post about the project on tumblr yet but it's the one with a mechanic/system that I think would be fun to incorporate in a death game visual novel plus writing-wise it's got the most cast of characters so far and it's been fun trying to figure out all their dynamics and how they can each get some sort of a spotlight in the narrative :)
It's going to take some time to develop it but we're hoping it'd be something completely different and the most refined, elaborate, and longest game the studio will put out compared to other short series of games we've been doing
We're proud to announce that the next upcoming game by STUDIO INVESTIGRAVE will be 🎱🎲 JACKPOT CRASH COURSE 🎰💥!
Jackpot Crash Course is a casino-themed death game visual novel, with a criminal named Eddie as the new protagonist!
Against all odds, Eddie must take part in a gameshow starring criminals and gamble against rival players to entertain the audience and prove himself worthy of being pardoned for his wrong deeds.
The first chapter of JCC is set to release in SUMMER 2025, stay tuned for updates in the upcoming months leading to it 😈️🔥
