Hey everyone!

In this update we’d like to recommend you a game our friends made, which has left early access today and is now available with a 25% Launch Discount.

Breathedge is a hilarious space survival game. You play as the survivor of the spaceliner catastrophe who finds himself in the middle of a ridiculous universal conspiracy, all the while battling the elements in order to find the way home.



Breathedge boasts a wild mix of awesome visuals and exciting first-person survival experience in outer space, spiced with grotesque humor. Collect items, make tools, build vehicles, and more to help you unravel the mystery behind the explosion of the largest space vessel and all its dark secrets. Smooth navigation through space is not without dangers: watch out for extreme cold and heat, ever-encroaching radiation, and coffin-robots out for blood!

The game has very positive reviews on Steam, and we’re sure that some of you will find it to their liking!

Hey everyone!

We’ll be concise: we’ve got some good news for you. Two of them, actually.



First of all, Police Stories Supporter Pack has been updated: we’ve finally added in-game donuts and trumpet as a supplement to the existing soundtrack and artbook, just as promised — better late than never, right? Those are not simple reskins, but rather totally new pieces of equipment which will (at least we hope so) make your gameplay a bit funnier and more varied.



Donuts — strategic set of nutrients. Restore vitality, improve your mood.



Trumpet — capable of inspiring allies and demoralizing enemies in the right hands. Or the other way round.

Maybe that's not HUGE, but if you enjoy the game and keep playing it – purchasing Supporter Pack is the best thing you can do to show your love.

Secondly, our publisher HypeTrain Digital celebrates the 5th anniversary (congrats!) and launches a major Steam Publisher Sale running November 4-9th, where you can grab their titles at up to 80% off. And, of course, Police Stories is a part of this as well — the game will be available with a 50% discount throughout the sale!

That’s it for today (we promised we’d be concise). Have fun with the donuts, and see you soon!

Hey everyone!

Today’s the big day for the project — it’s been exactly one year since the first release of Police Stories on Steam and Nintendo Switch. A lot has happened in a year, be it projectwise or not, but you’re still here playing the game, and we want to sincerely thank you for that!

We’d like to take stock of the project’s evolution and briefly review the results we’ve achieved so far. So, let’s get started!

• More than 150k game owners at the moment (Steam, GOG.com, Nintendo Switch).
  
• Implemented Online Co-op, Customizable controls, Custom Missions, Quick Play.
  
• Launched Level Editor on PC — more than 200 user levels are already available for download from Steam Workshop.
  
• PlayStation 4 Release.
  
• And now we’re actively working on Xbox release, which is coming quite soon!

Oh, and not to mention numerous patches, bugfixes and so on. It always could be better, but we’ve been working on Police Stories a lot trying to improve and enhance the experience it provides. And, to be honest, we think we did quite a good job!

If you agree with us, please leave a review for the game on Steam — it would be the best gift for everyone at our team.

There’s more to come, and we hope that next year will be as awesome as the past one, so stay tuned!

Hi there!

If you enjoy Police Stories but played it backwards and forwards, or you’ve got lots of great level design ideas that go for nothing — here’s something for you!



We’re launching a closed beta of level editor — a standalone application, allowing everyone to design the levels they’ve been dreaming of and share it with the world through Steam Workshop.

And so we’re looking for volunteers that can help us polish it! The requirements are not strict at all: you must have a Windows computer, own Police Stories on Steam and be ready to prepare a text report with your feedback and found bugs.

Feel like you can handle that? Then use this form to apply for the beta: https://forms.gle/t3Yct7XqU6BYK9Xs8

The demo is a linear and brief sample of a run in one of the Castle's areas.
