The project itself :
We believe the game concept has really great potential, and we’re already in contact with several well-known streamers to help build momentum from the start. For that reason, I won’t share it publicly for now, only that it’s a co-op (solo-friendly) exploration game where you uncover a mysterious world layer by layer, you can find the first Key Art below. If you’d like to know more about the game, we’ve written a full game design document detailing the entire concept, which I’d be happy to share if you contact me.
What we are looking for :
We don’t have a budget yet, but our goal is to create a polished prototype of the game’s opening to attract investors or crowdfunding. This is a true passion project driven by a small team of highly talented motivated and experienced people working in their free time.
What we are looking for are passionate and motivated collaborators who enjoy fun, dark co-op games. I'm looking for people with passion, ready to invest some time, with the ability to listen, the ability to learn, and the desire to succeed. If you’re into Ultrakill, the Made in Abyss universe, Raft, Lethal Company, REPO, you’ll love this project.
