Hello everyone!

I'm thrilled to bring you some exciting news today.

Last year, I launched the store page with just a teaser trailer, and today, I'm delighted to share my first gameplay trailer with you!

This trailer is a sneak peek into the heart of the game. It dives into the core gameplay loop, showcasing combat, puzzles, and the intricacies of managing your inventory. Plus, it offers a glimpse into how crucial clues will be for solving some mind-bending puzzles. I've even included a selection of dialogue snippets to give you a taste of the storytelling that awaits. And, of course, the music you hear is straight from the finished game soundtrack!

You can watch it here or head to the store page to watch it.


I hope you enjoy it, let me know in the comments!


Now, I've got another update to share. While I initially aimed for a 2023 release, I've made the decision to shift the launch to sometime in 2024. Some parts of the game have become bigger and more complex than I anticipated, and I don't want to cut anything or take any shortcuts. It's done when it's done and I'm happy with the way things are progressing.

I appreciate your unwavering interest and support for the game. It means the world to me.

Stay tuned for more updates, and until next time, thank you for being part of this incredible community!

Warm regards,

Markus
