just that this EVIL pig won’t stop showering! But I think I have an idea. I
recently got this thing that automates your house called a, what is it called?
Hold on. Head on over to my place while I look up this thingy’s name. It’s the
house next to the big barbecue on the edge of town. {Go to Objective Screen}
Objective Screen {from Option 2} Go to Billy Bob
Bulger’s House at the Hunter Society’s Barbecue. Due to high traffic in this
area, please be mindful of your fellow travelers and safely engage in this
activity.
The Quick Animal Hunters’ Society has turned the front yard of member Jacob “BBQ” Biggs’ house into a great, big BBQ feast! Once guests pick up their orders from the garage, they can pick their spot on some plastic lawn furniture and chow down on anything from small plates to big rib racks, all featuring Jacob’s signature Howling BBQ Dressing! Guests can choose items such as the Freshly Hunted and Gathered Stew, BBQ Oinks ‘n Tats, Pig Ribs (1/2 or full rack), Roadkill Pothole Pie, No-Kill Jackfruit Slaw, ½ Chicken, and more. Additional seating is available next door behind the ODV Cart Pig Shower Pies.
Hunter Society's Barbecue Costume Design. For this costume design, I wanted to accentuate that this is a community event rather than a formal business, so I opted to take the land general costume and embellish it with an apron and chef's hat. On top of this, I added the organization's name to the apron to accentuate that this is a club running the barbecue, further giving the guests those cues for the story. I'm really happy with the end result, as it gives the experience that homemade feel.
{Guest} approaches Hunter Society’s Barbecue and
confirms.
Billy Bob Bulger: Okay. It’s a Smart Tech Home
System by Solarum Industries. I can use it to turn things on and off with my
phone. Now what were we talking about? Hold on a second, I think the water’s
running. {Go to Next Guest Options}

I’ve been ticketed once for not showering myself, and I’m
not goin’ let that happen again!
EVIL Pig: But you can’t stop me, because I’m not
really a pig! I’m just a man in a pig costume!

HowlSpace Quest 9: A Warning to All Travelers – {Interface}:
You have received a new message from Russel Spectre.
Russel Spectre: I just finished chatting with
Connie at the pawn shop, and…the Time Music Tuner? That was not something that
I was expecting to hear! So, this is what I was thinking. If the Time Music
Tuner possibly tuned into the sound of someone…or something…that knows about Slenderman,
it’s possible that this witness of sorts isn’t far away. Based on the recording
that you sent me, I’m going to guess that the voice was spectral in nature, so
if you circle around the building and see if you can find evidence of any
hauntings, let me know and we’ll figure out our next steps. {Go to Next Guest
Options}
{Guest Options}:
· {Option 1} What building in this town ISN’T haunted?
· {Option 2} Where do you think I should look first?
Russel Spectre: {Option 1} Okay. Are you trying to
be smart with me? I know, there are a lot of monsters in town and even more
ghosts, but if this was your only lead, you would take it, too. Besides, the
gas station on the edge of town would answer your question. {Return to Guest
Options}
Russel Spectre: {Option 2} Based on this map of
Howling Hollow that I have, try either the bank or the fire station. {Go to
Objective Screen}
Objective Screen {from Option 2} Go to Firehouse
Snacks and search for ghost from recording.
Outside of the Howling Hollow Firehouse is the small cart Firehouse Snacks. Set up by the town's hazmat team, this state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen sells flaming-hot snacks such as chimichangas, churros, ghost pepper nachos, and other spicy treats.
Sometimes, when the entire fire crew has some free time, they will meet any paying customers and teach them about fire safety in the comedy street show Fire Safety Hijinks! The show begins as three members of the fire crew emerge from the fire station, discussing their training session. They soon set up and begin to teach the tourists about fire safety whilst they amusingly injure each other. However, another firefighter races out to inform the rest of an emergency: someone is on fire! The four firefighters race into action and enlist the audience to help them in figuring out where the fire is coming from. When the audience finally spots smoke, the truth is uncovered: someone couldn't handle the ghost pepper nachos and was smoldering at the mouth. As the firefighters sag is disappointment, the fire chief reminds everyone to only report real emergencies. They head back inside of the fire station.
{Guest} approaches Firehouse Snacks and confirms.
{Guest} activates Camera Scan and scans bank. No
ghosts appear. {Guest} scans fire station. A ghost appears in the second-story
window. Picture taken.
Russel Spectre: This might be our ghost! See if
you can tune in and hear what it’s…uh…saying.
{Guest} activates Time Dilation Manipulator and
scans fire station. An anomaly appears over the ghost. {Guest} confirms and
plays tuning minigame. Completing the minigame activates animation of ghost in
the physical window. App displays audio interference.
Russel Spectre: Are you hearing anything? Record
any sounds you hear and send them back to me.
{Guest} activates Sound Recorder. {Guest} confirms
and plays wavelength minigame. Completing the minigame plays audio in the app.
Spirit: Master…Spare me…Your lies…Your sorcery…All
of it…Lies…Another Time…Beware, Traveler…The Pale Fiend…The Forest…Tendrils of
Corruption…Flesh of Undeath…Sophisticated and Barbaric…His Lies…Will
Tear…Apart…This Town…
After audio plays, animation in physical window
ends.
Russel Spectre: Were you able to get anything? {Go

{Guest Options}:
· {Option 1} Here’s the audio recording.
Russel Spectre: {Option 1} Now THIS is what I have
been looking for! I’ll compare this to the recording you sent me earlier, but I
believe that it is a match. Hold on a second. I’m getting a message.
{Interface}: You have received a new message from
Howling Hollow Chamber of Commerce.
Howling Hollow Chamber of Commerce: FREE MSG.:
Notice: We have received reports of increased paranormal activity in town that
could have been triggered by one of today’s tourists. Out of an abundance of
caution, if any resident of Howling Hollow spots any individuals who are
believed to be manipulating any ghosts, please report them immediately to
Sherriff Bubba Barley.
Near this spot is Washboard Suites, home to the restaurant Plate o' Mean Vittles. The owner of Washboard Suites says that his wife makes some mean vittles, and now he’s ready to prove that to the world! Step inside Washboard Suites and head to the hotel’s dining room for some Southern style eating all day long! The owner’s wife is ready to make some food for the hungry travelers, including southern eggs, brisket potatoes, and bread um’ pudding for breakfast, afternoon loaf, chopped beef stew, greens ‘n grains, smashed garden patty, and ham in a loaf for lunch, and full moon burger, full vittles platter, midnight garden bowl, Lycan sausage gumbo, ribs ‘o vittles, and twilight smoked ham for dinner.
Plate o' Mean Vittles/Washboard Suites Costume Design. How do I give the outfit for a hotel dining room employee that Howling Hollow twist? I pulled from a lot of reference material for these designs, including costumes for coffee shops, hotels, smokehouses, Route 66 diners, and more. Ultimately, I ended up drawing heavy inspiration from The Uniform Studio's selection of costume pieces with the colors accentuated to create that haunted diner atmosphere.
{Interface}: You have received a new message from
Sherriff Bubba Barley.
Sherriff Bubba Barley: Hey! I know that you helped
me with that ghost earlier, so I’d imagine that you know something about the
unauthorized temporal manipulations that have been happening recently. Do you? {Go to
Next Guest Options}
{Guest Options}:
· {Option 1} That was me.
· {Option 2} Nothing at all, officer.
· {Option 3} Maybe. What have you heard?
Sherriff Bubba Barley: {Option 1} That was you?
You do realize that you are in violation of the Ghostly Interference Act of
1991, which is punishable with prison time. I’m sorry, but I’m alerting all
police in town to bring you in. It’s one thing to have a smelly pig, it’s
another to warp the space-time continuum to communicate with the dead. {Go to
Quest Screen}
Sherriff Bubba Barley: {Option 2} I’m glad to
hear, {Guest}. Keep an eye out for any suspicious activity, especially since
breaking time and space to communicate with the dead is highly illegal.
Eyewitnesses have described the perpetrator as looking like this. {Shows User’s
Profile Pic} Wait. Is that you? I’m going to have to bring you in for
questioning. {Go to Quest Screen}
