From Lee Petty, art director of the shiny and chrome covered game Brütal Legend, comes a new experience through a realm of surreal and psychedelic dreamscapes, where around each corner there lurks a metal album cover in the making.
Keeper is a story told without words, in which a long-forgotten lighthouse is awakened and, joined by a spirited seabird, it embarks upon a heartening tale of unlikely companionship, and an unexpected journey into realms beyond understanding. It’s a bite-sized, third-person puzzle-adventure, unlike anything you've experienced before!
Keeper is out now on Steam! Don't look up anything about it, trust us, just play and immerse yourself in the journey.
“A Mind-Blowing Adventure”
-The New York times - 100
“A truly magical jaunt through one of the most beautiful video game worlds ever made”
- Eurogamer - 5/5
“a brain-tickling odyssey that’s stuck with me far beyond the credits”
- IGN 9/10
Fixed the problem where the watering can was unusable after save, also added some temp buildings.
Hello once again! This time I just have a few minor improvements to the demo! Hopefully, with this patch, most all major problems with Project Songbird Teaser: Faceless will be fixed up and the experience will be smooth running from here on out!
Further geometry optimization and shadow reduction.
Fixed issue where flashlight would not work during final basement
Fixed some UI scaling issues
Fixed tutorial prompt toggle setting not working properly
Hopefully we're out of the weeds now for bug fixes and the next update pushed will be predominantly creative decisions and improvements to the base experience!
I hope you enjoy, and I can't wait to see what y'all think of the new and improved playable teaser for Project Songbird :)

VENDOR KIOSK UPDATE
Yes, we have a new update for you to test. We named it after the Vendor Kiosk feature, but it also includes a bank, a storage crate, and a minor Halloween event.
Vendor Kiosk
You can now place a kiosk on your claim that you can use to sell things to the general public in game.
The recipe unlock is automatic for the moment and part of the Business skill tree. Everyone gets it for free at the moment.
To create a Vendor kiosk, go to the Lathe and use the recipe you find there for it. Once it is crafted, you can go to one of your Homesteads and place the kiosk there. You place the kiosk with the Fabricator, so you’ll need one of those before you can do so. NOTE: You may only have one Vendor kiosk per Homestead.
Any player may open the Vendor kiosk after it is placed and they can buy any item found there.
Only players with editing permissions on that Homestead can post items to sell into that kiosk.
Click the BROWSE button in the upper, left of the screen. All the items that you (or other players with edit permissions) have made available for sale are in those listings. Click on any item to get a Purchase dialog.
To put an item up for sale, click the SELL button in the upper left of the screen. Then just drag-and-drop any item or stack of items from your inventory onto the right side of the screen. You can set the price and authorize the sale.
You need to come back to the Vendor kiosk to collect the money from any sold items. Click the SELL button to see your listings then click the coin icon to collect the Klaatu.
Bank
The Bank is found in the Starbase. You can access the Bank kiosk and then drag-and-drop items, or stacks of items, from your inventory to the bank vault. You can then return to the bank at any time and recover those items by dragging them back into your inventory.
Homestead Crates
You can now create Homestead Crates and place them on your Homestead for additional storage.
You unlock the Homestead Crate recipe by unlocking the Architect skill tree.
You build the Homestead Crate at the Lathe.
After it is in your inventory, you place it like any other Building Tile by using the Fabricator.
Only yourself and people that you give permission to edit your Homestead will be able to access crates placed on that Homestead. (Later on, we’ll add more granular permission settings, but that’s how it is for now.)
Halloween
We have also included a very small Halloween event but we are not explaining it. You will need to discover it yourself.
More details are here: Vendor Kiosk Update – Stars Reach
PLAYTEST SCHEDULE
We are patching the current build and will open the playtest servers tomorrow. Then we go back onto our usual Thursday-through-Tuesday morning rhythm.
MASSIVELY OP AND MMORPG COMMENT ON NEW UPDATE
MMO specialist press have been keeping an eye on our progress and commented this week.
We appreciate their support.
CONTROLLED CHAOS CREATED A VIDEO ON VENDOR KIOSK UPDATE
Chaos takes us through the various new functionality and how to use it. He explains one known bug but it might be gone by the time you log into the game.
He also comments on art and terminology changes and smaller things that might go unnoticed.
STARS REACH LAB: JUNGLE BIOME
This is a work-in-progress video showing some of the new plants and vegetation, while also demonstrating how seasons, light, and some initial player interactions affect the living world.
PLAYED WITH THE DEVS LIVESTREAM
If you missed Thursday’s Play-with-the-devs livestream, our plan was to explain the game, explain the wild wormholes, and take a group to the wild planet.
We did this and explained good resources to harvest on this temporary planet. And of course there were some combat shenanigans.
