About This Game

  • Attention Players: This game is getting a MASSIVE update on October 15th, 2024! It’ll be WAY more optimized, with new areas, more content, a new interface, and an overall much better look. Thanks!!
    Please be kind. This is the first game that Studio Dark Ocean is developing. One of our developers was severely ill, and we are working as hard as we can on a mega update.

  • ***This game focuses on storytelling, centering around the real-life struggles of a close friend of ours who faced tough times in his youth without the support he needed. It's meant to show how our actions can have consequences that affect not only ourselves but also those we love. It's important to mention that we donate a portion of our profits to organizations that provide mental health services, with a particular focus on those working towards suicide prevention.***

  • ***This is our first game and it is still in the beta phase. We are working hard to deliver the best experience for you. As mentioned above, unfortunately, one of our developers has been diagnosed with a tumor. Because of this (he is undergoing treatment, awaiting surgery, etc.), the beta phase has been extended.***

  • Nevertheless, we are working diligently on the next updates, which will include a complete overhaul of the game's shadow system, improved graphics, enhanced movement, and entirely revamped scenarios. In addition, we'll be adding translations for Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, among other languages.
    Stay tuned, and thank you very much for all the support and kindness in this dark moment.
