Finch & Archie (@octarinearts.bsky.social) is a co-op detective game. My partner and I had the most fun with the unique communication system, trying to get our clues across with limited words (I was a dog).

Out next year store.steampowered.com/app/2642500/...

The Berlin Apartment on Steam One apartment, many stories: Witness turning points in the lives of the inhabitants of an apartment in Berlin over the course of a whole century.

The Berlin Apartment (@bluebackpack.bsky.social) has a lovely warm, lived-in feel.

The music has no business bopping this hard for while I water plants and fold a paper airplane.

It's fully voice acted and works great on Steam Deck.

Out next month! store.steampowered.com/app/2280430/...

Moodboard 3 by 3 grid of impressionist landscape paintings. On top of the grid is a digital drawn character portrait of a blonde woman with a veil, white cloak and serious expression.

Play as six different characters in our upcoming game Ventreville: A Cure for Sorrow. The vibe of each character's chapter shapes the style for the background art.

This is the moodboard for Etisia's background art 🎨

Planning the introduction to our mystery visual novel Ventreville: A Cure for Sorrow. Play as 6 characters with their own stories to solve one central mystery. Does it look intriguing?
