We're calling upon the elite speedrunning community of SEUM to take on a thrilling new challenge (while you wait for the SEUM Update & DLC*): The "Portal Escape Chamber" DLC for Escape Simulator is LIVE! 🎉

The DLC has received the official seal of approval from Valve and is inspired by the Aperture Science Enrichment Center from the iconic Portal games.

Get ready to plunge headfirst into a labyrinth of mind-bending puzzles where you'll mend the Personality Core, reunite with some familiar cube-shaped companions, and daringly defy the safety protocols of Aperture Laboratories to secure your freedom. Oh, and keep a keen eye out for that elusive cake... 🍰

We released SEUM 5 years ago with our publishing partners, Headup games. Today, the contract between Pine and Headup expired, and we are happy to say that SEUM is now 100% Pine game! We've supported the game for the last 5 years because we love the game and our fantastic community. However, now we want to shift focus even more on SEUM!

To say thanks to all (200k) players that played SEUM, we are preparing a new FREE update and new speedrun season. For all players that want even more SEUM, we are also preparing a new DLC. We are working on a brand new powerup, more modifiers, new levels, new gameplay mods,... We plan to release the update and the DLC this fall but will post more info soon.
Till then, enjoy this teaser poster. ;)



As always, if you have any questions, suggestions, or want to chat with the record holders, join our Discord.
For all news about our games, follow us on Twitter or Facebook.

Happy speedrunning!
Pine Studio team \m/

To new speedrunners: have fun! \m/

Spooky scary greetings, friends!

Do you know what time it is? It's that time of the year again when the leaves are falling, it's getting uncomfortable and cold outside and hollowed pumpkins are glowing and grinning behind the windows. Yeah, it's trick or treat time! It's Halloween again!

And that's why also hell got possessed by the ghosts of "All Hallows' Eve"! So, join Marty in his (after)life with a special 'Trick or Treat' atmosphere! This is coming along with this year’s Steam Halloween Sale starting right now. So, if you have not done so yet, you should definitely go to hell and get Marty’s beer back - with 70% OFF!

You can't get enough of Halloween? That's good news! So you should definitely dodge some bullets while typing exorcisms in The Textorcist: The Story of Ray Bibbia, explore the horrors of Manning Manor in Silver Chains and build some spooky bridges in Bridge Constructor!

👻 Happy Halloween to all of you! 🎃

Dear Speedrunners,

It’ll be a cold day in Hell before we run out of new seasons! Season 8 is now officially open, so set your sights on the top of the leaderboard and don’t settle for anything less.

To make sure that awesome news comes in pairs, we’re happy to share that SEUM is currently 70% off (biggest discount yet!!), while “Drunk Side of the Moon” and the brain-melting soundtrack are also at 60% of their usual price.

Grab ‘em while they’re HOT! \m/

We’re also working on an update with some long-awaited fixes which got a little delayed because of the release of our newest title “The Academy”. We expect it to be ready in a month’s time, along with a new season maybe...

We hope you’re all safe and well, hit us with your best speedruns and awesome feedback!

Stay fast, \m/
Pine Team

Dear speedrunners,

Time for the seventh season of speedrunning in the hell is at hand!

What's new

• Mutators - To kick off a new season, we (finally) added mutators for individual levels. To unlock mutators, you will have to finish it 100%.
  
• A few small fixes

Additionally, we are inviting you to share your ideas, thoughts, and suggestions on how to make SEUM an even greater experience for everyone.
The rumor has it the gates of hell might reopen once more, where monstrously good SEUM 2 is awaiting for new speedrunners!

Let’s burn hell to the ground!

P.S.
DLC will be 50% off tomorrow! Check it out, it's cool! \m/

Dear Speedrunners, it's Headups 10th Birthday! To celebrate the day SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is 70% off and the devs from Pine Studio are streaming the game today right here on the Steam product page at 9pm (CET) / 1pm (PST)! HELL YEAH!

Join them on their way through hell to get Martys beer back! But be carefull: SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is fast. I mean REALLY fast! MIND BLOWING FAST!!!

You don't know the game?!? SEUM: Speedrunners from Hell is like a bastard child of Quake 3 and Super Meat Boy and is truly hardcore and focuses on speed and fast reaction. You can’t get much more old school than this!

while running is still a valuable skill in The Textorcist, this time it's all about who can type the fastest!

If you're enjoying fast paced action and you like bullet hell as well, give the Textorcist a try. Feel free to take a sip of Walrus ale right after defeating each of the 10 bosses this game has to offer!
