Years of delays followed team upheaval during the war in Ukraine.

Overview

  • A playable demo goes live on PC via Steam and the Windows Store on February 11 at 2pm UK time.
  • The full game releases March 12 on Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG, with day-one access on Xbox Game Pass.
  • Hands-on impressions from Eurogamer, IGN and GamesRadar highlight striking 2.5D pixel art, a synth-driven score, side quests and unexpected emotional depth.
