A.I.L.A - Meg

Hey everyone,

As part of the Galaxies Showcase just now, we showed a brand new trailer with one very important piece of information... A.I.L.A is launching 25th November! You can watch our new trailer below:

We're so excited to launch A.I.L.A. It feels like just yesterday we were working on our very first horror game, Fobia - St. Dinfna Hotel back in 2022, and now fast forward a few years and here we are again! We love making horror games so much and we really hope you'll enjoy A.I.L.A.

Can't wait? Try the demo!

It's just over a month until you can get your hands on A.I.L.A, but if you can't wait, you can give the Impossible House a go! Our demo shows one of the first scenarios in the game, and it's full of puzzles, tense moments, and something that might be stalking you...

Play the demo here

Thanks for all your continued support!

Talk soon

New trailer: Galaxies Showcase

Crosswind - Bambino

Crosswind x Galaxies Showcase

Ahoy, mateys!

If you’re new here: welcome aboard! Crosswind is a pirate-themed PvE co-op survival game in active development. Some of you may have seen footage from our summer Steam Playtest and the following Gamescom Demo; if not, this new trailer charts what we’ve been working on and where we’re headed.

What’s in the trailer?

Old-World estate building set & interiors. Inspired by Spanish and British mansions of the era, it’s been reimagined to fit Crosswind’s tone. It’s not a strict reenactment, but it’s close in spirit. And yes, the mansion you see was built entirely with in-game systems and tools.

Looking ahead, we plan for each building set to reflect its biome, so your outposts across the Archipelago feel naturally rooted in their surroundings. Once unlocked, however, you’ll be free to use any building set wherever you like.

Who says living at the edge of discovery can’t also mean living in comfort? Have both.

New ships are in the works, with the Brig leading the line. Alongside the rest of the game, all ships (both those available during the Playtest and brand-new ones) are moving forward, getting updates and small reworks along the way.

As for the Brig, we’ve begun shaping its gameplay formula to make it stand out from the rest, so everything is still very much a work in progress.

Whenever you change something, you’ve got to make sure everything else fits together, so it’s a never-ending voyage. Take a peek at what it looks like now:

The Brig under construction — a glimpse at early shaping and design work.

Smarter, livelier deck crew. Deckhands now head below decks, sleep in hammocks, and follow improved day-night routines and behaviours. Those who live by the sea learn to respect its ways. We’re iterating on animations and interactions to make your ship feel properly alive.

Sometimes, to go up in the world, you have to go down first.

Corrupted enemies and new threats. Expect fresh variants across the archipelago, from up-close bruisers to ranged attackers, meant to pressure different builds and party compositions as you push deeper. We’ve got more enemies in the works, too. Corrupted crabs? You got it. Dark, slimy, pungent magic? Right on the tab.

So yeah, sometimes, to uncover the Archipelago’s secrets, you’ve got to get your hands dirty. And in those moments, new armor sets (and a trusty “don’t-get-too-close” halberd) will come in handy.

Long gone are the days when crabs were harmless creatures…

This is only a small part of what’s cooking, but we wanted to share a slice of the journey so far. We’ve been doing our best to bring our vision to life, trying to address concerns found during the summer playtest. There’s still plenty ahead, and we’ll keep showing you more as things take shape.

Fair winds and following seas, and keep your nose to the wind!

The first update for Part II

Innocent Au-pair - cherryville313

Hello Everyone,

After a long pause, it’s finally time to move on to Part II! The first update is scheduled to arrive in early November (no specific date yet).

This upcoming update continues David’s story. As I mentioned before, Part II will be shorter than Part I, so the delay isn’t due to slow progress — it’s simply part of the natural development process.

Originally, I planned to release David’s part together with all possible endings, but it’s still a bit too early for that. I’ll need one more update to complete the full set of endings. For now, this update will focus on story progression without the endings.

While we wait for the release, here are a few previews to give you a taste of what’s coming!
