Hotel Infinity won the award for Immersive Reality Technical Achievement at the 29th #DICEAwards! ๐Ÿ†

The recognition from @official-aias.bsky.social means the world to us at @studiochyr.bsky.social.

It was an honor to be nominated alongside amazing #VR titles.

To win is an unforgettable moment.

Your fresh start in Ashenridge comes with a catch. Will you protect the town from a supernatural killer, or let your heart lead you somewhere dangerous?

Farm, fish, investigate, bond, and reap what you sow in Grave Seasons ๐Ÿชฆ๐ŸŒพ

A screenshot of a Ghibli like cartoon video game called Arcane Eats, featuring a fairy with spiky blonde hair, black sunglasses, and a wicked goatee, glowing with a look of joy on his face after being served a dish. There is another fairy beside them with short orange hair and a cheeky smile, who has a thought bubble that appears to have a โ€œdine and dashโ€ symbol inside.

Survive a restaurant run and earn your fame in Arcane Eats!

Running a restaurant is HARD โ€“ you have to satisfy hangry customers, balance books, and keep the health & purity inspector at bay.

But if you can impress legendary chefs like Guy Fairy, you may finally get that 3 Mythril Star rating ๐ŸŒŸ

Ashenridge is full of different kinds of fish to catch! Just find the ideal spot near a river, lake, or by the ocean and cast your rod!

Donโ€™t forget to grab some bait from Noaโ€™s shop, otherwise your catches might be a littleโ€ฆ odd.

Grief takes a lot of different forms. Showing how loss impacted each one of our characters was as important to our story as Maya's journey itself.

Uncharted and Last of Us director says Zelda: Wind Waker was the main inspiration for his new game's art style, because the devs wanted the graphics to "last the test of time" You can definitely see the Wind Waker vibes in Coven of the Chicken Foot

"We wanted to create an art style that would last the test of time."

This is inspired a lot from my previous work on Audio Bash and CarouselCon. If you were into those, you'll be into this. Low key and relaxed. We aim to keep this fun but still informative.
