Latest Updates from Our Project:

The FINAL 48hr BOSS BATTLE | You Choose an Ally | Free Travis Figure!
over 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 27, 2023 at 07:06:00 PM

Hello Friends,

Ok, so it's not *quite* the final 48 hours, but the Kickstarter is about to turn over to 2 days remaining, and we're just far too hyped to wait any longer! From now until 11:59pm Pacific Time on Thursday (aka the end of the campaign) we have entered the FINAL BOSS BATTLE!

Your goal? To befriend Travis and convince him to join the gang. How to do this? By gaining Travis Points doing the following:

  • 1 Point for each dollar raised (starting NOW)
  • 2 Points for each backer who joins the campaign (starting NOW)
  • 5 Points for each person to contribute a Social Challenge from the list we'll reveal in about 12 hours

When Travis hits 100,000 TP, he'll smile and realize that bullying Sal is just him avoiding his own insecurities and feelings. For you all:

  • Every 12,500 TP we will add 1 additional card to The Nightmares Deck, which is exclusive to the Super Strange Nightmares (Deluxe) version of the game. 
  • At 100,000 TP we will add a new Ally to the Super Strange Nightmares (Deluxe) version of the game... AND we're letting you choose who it will be! 

The Ally will have an acrylic standee, a mystery card that activates the Ally, and an Ally card which will explain how to use it. The Creator, Steve Gabry, just dropped a Twitter poll to decide which Ally you want in the game, follow the link to cast your vote NOW!

Travis Figure

As one final 48 hour bonus, we've created a Travis Figure to add to the already awesome Figures Collection. That's right, all backers who have already backed, or back now, at the $150 Tier OR ABOVE, will now receive a FREE Travis Figure with their pledge. If you were on the fence before, NOW is the time to pledge at that higher tier. You DO NOT want to miss this - it is a Kickstarter exclusive offer. After the campaign ends, Travis will not be included in any tier.

We're also adding Travis as a free figure to the (formerly) 4-Pack of Vinyl figures, so for just $65 you can get 5 figures [Sal, Ashley, Todd, Larry, and now Travis]! Make sure you add that bonus support now to ensure you can get that figure pack when the pledge manager opens!

Help the Community

Right now, there are a few things you can do to help the community both in the FINAL BOSS BATTLE and in hitting that $300,000 Stretch Goal.

Add money now for any Add-Ons you know you want and pay for shipping ahead of time. It all counts! Got your eye on some plushes? Or a sweet exclusive shirt? Maybe you want to sip tea out of an official Addison Tea set, or roll some dice with the Addison Tea dice roller/tray? All you need to do is:

  • Check out the Add-ons on the main page
  • Check out the shipping table on the main page
  • Calculate the total amount pledged you’ll need to cover all of it
  • Tap ”Manage your Pledge” and then ”Change your Pledge”
  • Adjust your Pledge amount without changing your pledge level

You can also adjust your tier to a higher level. Thinking about upgrading from Strange Nightmares to Charley's MINI Collection? Originally backed at the CREEPER tier to follow the campaign planning about deciding later? Now is that later! Upgrade and help the community! Remember, at the Charley's MINI Collection Tier and above, you now also get the Travis figure FOR FREE! Here’s how to adjust your pledge:

Desktop:

  • Click Manage your Pledge from the Strange Nightmares homepage
  • Click Change your Pledge
  • Select your New Tier
  • You can also add bonus support for any Add-ons by increasing the pledge amount by the price of those Add-ons there

Mobile:

  • Click Manage from the Strange Nightmares homepage
  • Click the three dots at the top of the popup
  • Click Edit Reward
  • You can also add bonus support for any Add-ons by clicking the ‘+‘ sign under Bonus support and adding the price of those Add-on there

If you backed in the First 48 hours or pre-commited through the email signup, you’ll still get those extra bonuses if you add money now, so don’t worry!

Let's make this an Epic Final 48 Hours!

Someone's Approaching... Are You Ready?
over 1 year ago – Mon, Mar 27, 2023 at 01:48:46 PM

Hello friends,

We're just about down to the final 2 days of the campaign... and it feels like there's a presence growing closer... ever closer.

We'll be back tonight to reveal all in our "final 48 hrs" update, but for now prepare yourself!

Question of the Day!

This very special QotD is brought to you by haunted trail I hiked this weekend, but sadly had no paranormal experiences! Check the bottom of every day's update and then answer in the comments section of the update or the campaign comments!

Today's Question: For fans of the video game: Which Sally Face character would you want with you if you encountered a ghost?

Solo Mode & Fifth Player Stretch Goal ✓ DONE!
over 1 year ago – Sun, Mar 26, 2023 at 04:09:27 PM

Hello Friends,

We've DONE IT! A backer pledged for the Strange Prototype tier, pushing us over that next Stretch Goal hump and we've hit $250,000! Thank you to our mysterious benefactor! The prototype is a crazy piece of Sally Face history and a one-of-a-kind collector's item! 

Solo Mode

We've now added a way to play the game solo. This mode brings us back to the video game roots. Explore the Addison Apartments by yourself, vanquishing villains and solving mysteries as your friends cheer you along, helping you by giving boosts when you most need them. While we're still testing out the fine points of this mode, we're thrilled to be able to include it in the game and will have more about it in a solo mode deep dive after the campaign is over.

Fifth Player

The mystery surrounding the 5th player is finally solved.

Welcome, Travis Phelps! The fifth playable character in the game. For those unfamiliar with the video game, Travis is sometimes shown bullying Sal. There's so much more to him though and we're proud to include him in the game. What new stories can be told as you play Travis in Strange Nightmares?

The FINAL Stretch Goal

With just 4 days remaining, we're happy to show off our final Stretch Goal at $300,000. And we're going a bit meta, but you all have been clamoring for it in the comments and on the livestream. We're adding the creator himself into the game! At $300K you will unlock the Steve Gabry and Portable Moose Item Cards. These powerful items can help turn the tide in the direst of times, giving you a boost at a critical moment. This is a Super Strange Nightmares (Deluxe Version) exclusive, so make sure you're pledged to a Super Strange Nightmares tier (all tiers except Creeper, Strange Nightmares, Retail Strange Nightmares, and Strange Boxes).

In addition, we will unlock the bonus finale cards for Stories 2 and 3 for Super Strange Nightmares. We unlocked Story 1's two bonus finale cards in an earlier Stretch Goal, and now we're unlocking two more for Story 2 and two more for Story 3!

Question of the Day!

It's a very Travis-y edition of QotD! Check the bottom of every day's update and then answer in the comments section of the update or the campaign comments

Hello Friends!

Wow, can you believe there's just over 4 days left in the campaign?! It's been such a fun and crazy ride and we can't say enough how amazing everyone is. Since it's Saturday, Steve convinced us that we should do another Lore Drop to get everyone hyped for the final 4! If you missed the first couple, check them out here and here!

What a beautiful piece of trivia. It's both heartwarming and devastating. Way to get me right in the feels Steve!

Social Challenge #9 Starts NOW! | Backer Appreciation
over 1 year ago – Fri, Mar 24, 2023 at 09:59:52 AM

Hello Friends!

There's just six days left in the campaign and wowzers, what a ride it's been so far. We've been loving getting to know you all with the question of the day, and getting to see YOUR creativity with all of these Social Challenges. We're not done yet though, there are still 2 sets of challenges left, and we're starting #9 RIGHT NOW!

Social Goals #9

I'd like to revisit this last set of challenges though, it was all about the artists, and WOW there was a lot of you. You destroyed the last set of challenges with over 100 submissions. I wish we could share everything here, but this post would be huge if we did, so here's a small portion of the fantastic things you all did:

And because of all of these submissions and a special pop-up challenge asking for people to draw Steve Gabry and Dustin from The Maestro Team as plushies (with Kai the cat in the picture), you all unlocked these six cards from The Nightmares Deck!

We're getting back together!

As a reminder, we're not doing the livestream on Tuesday, March 28th! We're instead doing it on the last night of the campaign, March 30th! On the 28th, Steve and Dustin will be at Game Masters in Pittsburgh, PA from 6-10 pm (local time AKA EST) hanging out, playing games, and demoing Sally Face: Strange Nightmares. This is not the same sort of thing as our Celebration at Bold Escape Rooms early in the campaign. We're just going to be chillin' and demoing games at the game store. If you're around, it'd be great to see you, there is a $5 cover, but with that $5 you get access not only to our demos but the other demos that are happening that night! AND DO NOT MISS the final livestream of the campaign on March 30th!

Question of the Day!

It's that time again, the question of the day! Check the bottom of every day's update and then answer in the comments section of the update or the campaign comments!
