Platforms and cross-progression
Which platforms do your games support?
We build our games for all major platforms so you can play wherever you feel most comfortable:
- Desktop (Windows and Mac) - Available via Steam.
- Mobile (Android and iOS) - Optimized for phones and tablets via Google Play and the Apple App Store.
- Web Browser - Instant access with no installation required via itch.io.
Do I need an internet connection to play?
For browser-based versions on itch.io and for syncing your progress across devices via the cloud (TBA), an active internet connection is required. On desktop and mobile apps, once the game is downloaded, you can play offline.
Languages and localization
What languages are your games available in?
We believe great stories should know no borders, so we do our best to release our games in multiple languages, complete with subtitles and voiceovers. However, as a small team, we prioritize genuine artistry over mass-produced AI content. Because of this, the availability of specific text and audio localizations may vary from game to game. To make broader, high-quality translations and dubbing possible, we turn to crowdfunding - investing your direct support straight into bringing our worlds into your native language.
Can I change the language mid-game?
Yes! You can switch the language at any time in the game's settings menu without losing any of your story progress.
Do your games feature voice acting or audio?
Yes, rich soundscapes and voiceovers are at the heart of our storytelling. Thanks to community crowdfunding and support from the ElevenLabs Startup Grant, we combine human creativity with modern audio technologies to bring our characters to life - always prioritizing authentic emotion and atmosphere over automated shortcuts.
Alpha and beta testing, support
How can I join the Alpha or Beta playtests?
