Twilight Requiem is OUT NOW!

Twilight Requiem is OUT NOW!

The gates are open. After 21 months of development, navigating fatherhood, and pouring everything into this vision, Twilight Requiem is officially live!

I started this project for my family. Over the course of development, Victoria and I welcomed our two daughters into the world. I built this game so that one day, they could be completely immersed in their father's imagination. Our celestial warrior, Casia, is more than just a protagonist—she embodies the resolve and strength I want my daughters to grow up seeing.

Alongside that beautiful chaos, our core team—Vlad, Stefan, Aemon, and I—stretched every single penny of our $20,000 budget and worked countless late nights to bring this dark fantasy to life. A massive shoutout goes to our incredibly talented voice cast—Maeven Celeste, Ryan Wiley, Micah_VO, Elgin Foster, Lucas Buford and the rest of the crew—who brought serious fire to their performances and breathed true life into these characters.

This project is a heartfelt salute to the PS2 era action-RPG classics we love. We went retro for a reason: because this game has a soul. Because this is a raw passion project from a small team, you might see a few rough edges or micro bugs here and there, but we prioritized the atmosphere, combat, and heart over chasing perfection. We are what we are, and we are incredibly proud of it.

To the 7,700 of you who picked up the demo, the content creators who spotlighted us, and the 10,367 of you who wishlisted the game—thank you. Whether you've been here since the beginning or you're just finding us today, this launch wouldn't be happening without this community.

One Quick Request for Launch Day:

If you pick up the game today and enjoy it, please take a moment to leave a Steam review. For a small indie studio, early reviews are our absolute lifeblood. They are the single best way to tell the algorithm that we exist and help us reach more players.
