Hey everyone! The time has come to reveal that the next installment of ENA, "Dream BBQ", will be an interactive game!

Before I go further into detail, I originally wanted this to be a complete surprise. The initial idea was to publish the game without you knowing it was going to be one. However, things got pretty ambitious along the way and the production cost began to grow higher. As of right now, we don't have an estimated release date either (But we will let you know as soon as we know). Since a lot of you have been wondering why this project has taken so long, well... now you know the reason!.

Since this will be a short interactive adventure, it will have much more content than Temptation Stairway; although, please don't expect 5+ hour gameplay from this. I don't want to give too many more details about this project because I would like for you to experience it yourself. All that you need to know is that this game will be full of the surreal, wacky ENA weirdness you know and love. I will use my Patreon to share previews every so often (trying to show things without spoiling the final game). Thank you so much to all the Patreons supporting every month!!

Finally, I would really like to thank all of the ENA team for their help and support throughout this journey. With them, I have begun to explore a new path as a game-maker and it has been a fun, educational experience.

Thank you for your patience; I promise you that it will be well worth the wait. See you all next time!

Auction Day: a small animated short that looks very similar to a animation made in the early 2000’s introducing our lovable characters (could even be a beta/pilot animation for ENA to show how weird her world is)

Extinction party: 50% 2D, 50% 3D animation, having a first person point of view and could interact with characters as if they are in a game

Temptation stairway: looked like actual gameplay, having puzzles, obstacles, and even equipping items

Dream BBQ: is a fully fledged interactive game that’s currently being worked on.

What a time to be alive.

Everyone who joked about "ENA Any% speedrun" feels like a prophet now.

1:16 I just noticed that, when the letters flick, just "REM" is Left, which is the stage of sleep where dreams occur (Rapid Eye Movement).
Neat.

[SuperWiiBros]

I fucking love this really cute and smooth animation of ENA

[m_affiliates]

Joel G be like: hey i don't feel like making an episode so have a literal game instead

[mister.]

Can’t wait to see how moony is doing since she hatched into what isn’t even her final form

[dunysipod]

0:31 i love this part it feels like a character selection screen in a retro multiplayer fighting game and the music gets so sick lol

[Omahdon]

I am OVERWHELMINGLY excited for this one holy wowow o:

[lazysnout]

If anyone is wondering, the fantastic music for this trailer is Masquerade (仮面舞踏会) by The Mystery Kindaichi Band, part of the soundtrack for a Japanese movie from the 70s called "The Adventure of Kohsuke Kindaichi"! :)

[pleaseenteraname]

I’ve never really considered this a show, more like an experience and I think the newest adventure is about to prove me even more right

0:10 help why does he look like hes saying "monday left me broken💔💔💔"

[lucianorevelesmoya]

This video gives us three things:
1.- the interactive game that is in progress
2.- the ena plushie that we can buy
3.-that the animation looks much better than before <3

[Devnul]

Plushie: purchased. I rarely buy merch, but the ENA project is something I just HAVE to support. Didn’t even have to think about it. ENA is absolutely brilliant and I’m really looking forward to Dream BBQ

[VinchVolt]

This is equal parts a logical means of progressing the series and a total curveball, both in the most enjoyable way imaginable; really looking forward to playing this when it comes out!

[schmoop]

first trailer: yay happy dancing
new trailer: why are we still here. just to suffer.

"NOOO JOEL PLEASE DONT TURN ME INTO A MARKETABLE PLUSHIE!!!"


"Actually its not that bad"

[TheBetterGamer]

Joel, you keep outdoing yourself. The episodes kept getting longer, and now we have a full on game. Like... jesus lord almighty I don't think ANYONE was expecting this. Bless you, and EVERYONE who worked on this game. I cannot wait to experience Ena in yet another new form, and possibly something else in the future! Ena is seriously one of the most unique and lush artistic experiences I've had the honor of being a part of. It means a lot that you are continuing this series in new and exciting ways.

Don't stop making.

Out of all things I expected from ENA, it was not an interactive game. Truly amazing stuff dude
