Hello Brightview backers!
I have some exciting news from the heart of the forest...
Watch the Full Playthrough!
You've been asking, and it's finally here — the official playthrough video is now live on the campaign page!
See how the Exorcists take on the Whisperer, experience the haunting tension firsthand, and get a deep dive into the game’s mechanics, components, and strategy. Whether you’re new to the rules or just want to soak in the horror, it’s a must-watch.
Head to the campaign's Playthrough section to watch it now!
Two New Reviews Just Dropped!
I'm thrilled to share that two new reviews of The Brightview Haunting are now available. These reviewers took a deep dive into the eerie strategy and immersive storytelling of the game, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their insights and feedback.
Give them a read and see how others are experiencing the haunting!

Play Against the Artist at UK Games Expo!
This just in: Dina Said So Studio added a special new event to the UK Games Expo lineup!
Come play The Brightview Haunting against the incredible Irina French — the artist behind the game’s haunting visual world.
Think you can outwit the Whisperer… when the one who painted the forest is the one haunting it?
Limited seats available — check the page and sign up early!

The Forest is Quiet… For Now
I want to be honest with you — the campaign has been moving a bit slowly these past few days. But with UK Games Expo right around the corner and more people finally getting a chance to play the game and feel the tension around the forest, I'm confident that momentum will return.
This project has always been about building atmosphere and a strong, eerie experience at the table — and I believe once more people see that firsthand, we’ll not only meet the funding goal but push past it before the final day.
Whether you're spreading the word, diving into the reviews, or preparing for your rituals at the table, you're helping make The Brightview Haunting something truly unforgettable.
Lets continue to share the campaign with friends, groups, and fellow horror fans to spread the word more!
Let’s bring this haunting to life together!
Thank you,
Justin

Hello all!
Closing in on 70% funded and I want to thank all the backers for the support so far. I know it has been a bit slow the last handful of days, but I'm hoping the momentum starts back up as we head into the last two weeks. We got this!
UKGE (UK Games Expo)
Surprise! The Brightview Haunting will be at UKGE, but sadly I will not be there physically. No worries though, the game will be on display at Dina Said So Studio's booth, the marketing team helping me with my project. On top of that, you can sign up for a closer look at the game and a demo at both of the times pictured below. Go and say hi if you'll be there!

More reviews to come...
Other News (Playthrough):
A playthrough video is still in the works, and I apologize for getting this out late, as there have been recent issues with the content creator's footage that's getting fixed currently. I'm hoping I can have something soon.
Again, I appreciate all the support so far and I'm excited to continue the uphill battle to get this funded. I'm hoping this reaches more of an audience who isn't aware of it, so please continue to share on socials to get the word out so we can hit that funding goal soon!
THANK YOU!

DAY 1 of Campaign
9 months ago

Hello all!
What an awesome first day. I'm so excited to have finally launched The Brightview Haunting! We’re already about 50% funded and whether you were the first to back or just joined today, THANK YOU. Your support means the world, and I couldn't do this without you.
I’ve spent countless hours designing this dark, twisted experience — and now, with your help, it's finally taking form. Brightview Forest is waking up, and the Whisperer is stirring.
What’s Next:
- Expect a Playthrough video to come out soon!
- If we get funded, I will reveal 3 new Corrupt items that will be added to the game
- If you are subscribed to the newsletter, I previously teased news about a pre-painted display statue of the Whisperer. I will hopefully have a prototype picture of that this month. This will be a very limited item, so look out for that as well!
For now — rest, recover, and ready your salt. The haunting has only just begun.
Let me know in the comments which character resonates with you below and who you're most interested in playing!
With gratitude (and a hint of dread),
Justin
