Don't ask me who I am

Face me and see the tears

Fallen in the corner of my eyes

— In The Ocean I Learned To Float

Today marks our 5 year anniversary since releasing A Summer’s End.

A Summer’s End will always hold a special place in our hearts. It was a passion project that we released to the world without knowing the reception it would receive. We are grateful for everyone who has supported us over the years and has taken a chance on our game and story. A Summer’s End has brought us to meet and engage with so many wonderful people and for that, we are eternally thankful.

Thank you everyone for your support and care. We have some more words to share in our blog.

In celebration of our anniversary, we’re hosting a Steam and itch sale. It’ll be live from April 23-30. Thank you everyone!

Taking over in our heart The winter’s over  Just a blue summer sky

We wish everyone a happy new year!

詞不達意 Words cannot convey the meaning

In the Ocean I Learned to Float centres on the story of Grace. Who she is and her depth of feeling is what sets in motion the events in our next game project.

A Summer's End is on sale from December 19 to January 2 on Steam and itch.io. We appreciate everyone for your support.

餘情 Endless Feeling

Grace is one of the lead characters in our next game project, In the Ocean I Learned to Float. Her disappearance at the start of the story drives the events of the game. What happened to her family? What relationships did she have? We hope you follow along to learn more.

We’re pleased to be featured in an academic game journal. Thank you Samuel Poirier-Poulin for choosing our game to be your focus of discussion. We’re honoured to see its themes analysed in such depth from a scholarly perspective. It’s an insightful read!

She appeared to me Like a flower on the cliffside A single stalk rooted on hard soil Swaying precariously to and fro And yet above the windy bluffs She blooms in spring Faithfully As the sun sets Today marks the fourth year anniversary of A Summer’s End release. We’re celebrating with a weeklong sale starting at 10:00 PST on Steam and itch. We’ve also made a new post on our website to share about the current development progress of our next game project, In the Ocean I Learned to Float.
