Hello, Steam community!
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that Centaurus Software has been selected as one of the winning teams in the Tranzfuser 2025 programme run by UK Games Talent & Finance CIC. Our debut title, Erebus-9, has earned official recognition and funding support, giving us the strong foundation we’ve been working toward.
What This Means for Erebus-9
Winning Tranzfuser means that our project has been judged as both creatively promising and commercially viable. The programme is designed to support UK teams who want to build original game IP and sustainable studios.
For us, that means:
We now have resources to take Erebus-9 Chapter 1 from prototype to full development
We can build the game with better tools and a clearer path towards launch
You, our future players and supporters, will get a richer, more polished experience and more frequent updates as we progress
A Bit About the Journey
From the very beginning, our goal at Centaurus Software was to create something bold that paid homage to the classics: a fresh IP steeped in atmosphere, narrative tension, and immersive gameplay. Erebus-9 was born from that ambition. We set out to blend exploration, mystery, and survival in a setting that pushes our creative boundaries.
We applied to Tranzfuser 2025 knowing it would be a challenge: the competition attracts well over 60 teams from across the UK each year. Getting selected, and now winning, is a testament to how far we’ve come, and a launchpad for how far we hope to go.
What’s Next For Us & For You
Here’s a rough roadmap of what we’re planning now:
Development ramp-up - With the Tranzfuser win behind us, we’re working on Chapter 1, refining core systems, upgrading our pipeline, and deepening the narrative and gameplay of Erebus-9.
Public demo - We’ve shared a playable slice of Erebus-9 so you can experience the world firsthand, give feedback, and help shape the game.
Launch objectives - Our aim is to hit Steam for full release of Erebus-9 Chapter 1 early next year, with a strong wishlist base, lively community, and polished experience.
Community building - You’ll see more dev logs, behind-the-scenes content, livestreams, and open feedback channels. We want you on this journey with us.
A Huge Thank You
A special thank-you goes out to everyone who has supported us so far; family, friends, mentors, collaborators, and you, the gamers who believe in what we’re doing. Winning Tranzfuser 2025 doesn’t just validate our work; it motivates us to deliver something truly memorable. We couldn’t have done it without every single one of you.
We’ll be posting updates here on Steam, on our website, and across social channels. Keep your eyes peeled for more info on Erebus-9’s next milestone soon. Wishlist it, share it, talk about it, and join us as we build something special.
Thank you for believing in Centaurus Software. Let’s venture into the darkness together.

Three more audio tracks have been added to our game's music album. Two of them have not yet been introduced into the game, but I will soon add them to the new worlds I create as I update the game. One of the three songs is already in the Alien Invasion world, but it had not yet been added to the album.
