Our dream is to normalise romance in games so much that we inspire Sandfall Interactive to work with the developer of Dark Queen of Mortholme to make an Elden Ring-scale version of that game.
Please make the big lady step on us and fall in love.

There are so many of you! We are so excited to see more interest in this game. With the most recent issues that are plaguing video games, we feel it is even more important to talk about intimacy and relationships in games than ever before.
We can't wait to show you what we're doing.

We have so many things chugging away in the background. We are so excited to show you more of Scorn and what we have planned with his visual design! We hope you look forward to romance with our walking (sort of) magical trauma engine.

Scorn would be very overwhelmed by all the love you are giving him. We might have to commission our wonderful @sixfoot-ant.bsky.social to make some reacts for us to show how little he knows what to do with it.
