About the Game

This is a short, comedic visual novel spinoff to "Heart of the Woods." Contains spoilers for the base game, so please play the original game first!

"I Told You So!" is the name of Tara Bryck's paranormal investigation webshow, after renaming her hit series "Taranormal." Join Tara and her co-host/girlfriend, Morgan Fischer, as they unravel the mysteries of the supernatural.

ITYS consists of several short, dubiously-canon episodes, with more added every now and then. Many episodes are fully voiced by the original voice cast.



Look. I get it. It's hard to accept the truth of the paranormal nature of the world, especially when it's been right under your nose for years. What a fool I am, you think. How could I have doubted her, when week after week she would present such irrefutable evidence of the existence the strange and the occult? Well, I'm here to tell you that you should ABSOLUTELY feel this way, because I TOLD YOU SO!

That's right! It's Tara here, the world's first ACTUAL! PROVEN! PARANORMAL INVESTIGATOR! WHO FOUND REAL THINGS! AND GOT IT ALL ON TAPE!

Things are gonna change around here. I got big plans, and I can't do them alone, and I'm sure you've already seen my kick-ass new logo so you know there's a new face here on the set of the webshow that changed the world. Watch out!!!! IT'S GONNA BE SO COOL!!!!!!!
