Dear Community,

In May 2023, we presented the first images of our game. One year later, many things have evolved:

• We changed the game engine,
  
• We signed with a publisher,
  
• We shifted from a remaster to a remake,
  
• We recruited a full team (and worked hard)!

We are now proud to present the all-new first images of the LBA remake! Help us make some noise by sharing, liking and commenting the video:



We want to warmly thank our publisher Microids, who believed in us from day one and is helping us bring Twinsen back to life. We are happy to announce that you will be able to find Little Big Adventure – Twinsen’s Quest on PC, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series!

We will also offer a physical edition for PS5 and Nintendo Switch.

What do you think of this very first trailer? Feel free to let us know in the comments.

We can’t wait to show you more.

We’re always open to hearing where there’s additional interest in localization and considering it with the team, but we can’t promise any additional languages at the moment.

If there’s anything else you’d like to find out, please let us know in the comments!

A huge thanks to everyone who has supported us over the years. We’re thrilled to be launching our game in less than two weeks, and can’t wait for you to finally forge Aletheia’s path through the rusting streets, lairs, and ruins of the Steam City.

This world of ancient enmities, electrifying combat, and steam-shrouded lore awaits!

--Metamorphosis Games

We've been working on a spooky demo that will give you a good idea of what to expect from the final game. We've even thrown in a little teaser of some of the game's secrets that some of you might discover.

Some fast facts about the demo:

• At the end of the demo, there is a big reveal!
• The demo will be available in all 17 languages.
• You can play with keyboard and mouse or with a controller.
• We've filled the demo with surprises, so it should be a good time for both gamers and let's players.

We're really excited for you to try our game because, based on the playtesters' reactions, the demo should both scare you a bit and make you laugh. We're also thrilled for you to hear all the music Astrid Fabrin has created for your in-game radio and to experience Maria's many animated death scenes.
We're currently fine-tuning and extra testing the demo to ensure it runs well for you!

We hope you're ready to try not to die in our demo soon. But should you die, remember:
“Every time you die, a new story begins.”
