Ending our update post with an obligatory busy-working-on-stuff picture.

Good news everyone!

We're glad to announce the start of the Early Access phase of our new game Dreadful River, for later this year!



The realm is under attack. The king and his most loyal guards are trying to save the Eternal Crown. Floating down a vast river on a simple raft, you have to fight enemies, improve your gear, find allies and explore mysteries along the shores. Can you turn the tide?
