Steam Next Fest is over but I still wanted to shoutout my two favorite demos I tried:

🌇 The Berlin Apartment
🐶 Finch & Archie

Both are worth checking out – their demos are still up!

It's been awhile since we posted, but we're still hard at work on our mystery game Ventreville: A Cure for Sorrow!

Here's some new art in progress for our character Etisia 😍

What mood does it give you?

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 🎨
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.

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?
