Five years ago, The Viscount and its crew set sail through The Pale Passage in search of absolute magnetic South. The ship and its crew were tragically lost to the ice, never to be seen again. Her sister ship, The Temperance shall follow in her path, hoping to find answers where The Viscount failed.

A polar exploration game set in an unforgiving frozen wasteland where you embark on a treacherous voyage across the ice and through the Pale Beyond. It’s a stunning yet harsh landscape that can change at any moment.

Every decision matters and the ice doesn’t care.

As the expedition unfolds and the Polar Winter approaches, every decision you make will have a meaningful impact on the story as you navigate your way across the ice.

You didn’t ask to lead this expedition, but here you are. Stuck in the ice, Captain missing, miles from civilisation. Someone has to take charge.

Manage your meagre resources, balance safety and morale, make the hard calls, and head in the only direction you can - through The Pale Beyond.

Keeping the crew (and sled dogs) safe, fed, and warm during the expedition is imperative. Surviving the ice will matter little in the face of a mutiny. Every vote will count. So keep the crew on your side.

Featuring original musical compositions, shanties and accordion tunes that will dynamically evolve alongside your journey.

Dungeons of Aether is a turn-based dungeon crawler designed by Nikita ‘ampersandbear’ Belorusov from the Aether Studios team. Rivals of Aether is known for its intense competition and twitch skills, while Dungeons of Aether allows you to take things at your own pace - but it’s still just as challenging! Every choice you make can lead you deeper into the dungeons or to an early demise. Will you carry out a treasure chest, or be carried out in a pine box?

The combat in Dungeons of Aether uses a dice draft system that ensures each battle is unique while challenging the player to adapt the pool of dice each turn. Use fortune to your favor to defeat your foes, collect treasures and shift the odds in your favor...

Dungeons of Aether introduces four exciting new heroes to the world of Aether, each with their own unique skills and memorable personalities.

Fleet is the self-proclaimed protector of her hometown of Julesvale, although she’s seen as a clumsy menace more than a hero. As the jack of all trades, Fleet is a great character for learning the combat system.

Hamir is a former Wall Runner from the mighty Rock Wall. He has made his way to Julesvale in exile after losing his trusted partner. Hamir now finds himself looking for a purpose and the courage to carry on.. Hamir is strong and sturdy, weathering blows until the time is right to crush his foes.

Slade is a pirate from the far-off Polekai Islands. He has made his way to Julesvale hunting a mysterious rare mineral unique to Julesvale. Rumor has it the mineral is key to saving his homeland. Slade’s style and swagger allow him to dodge attacks entirely if his speed is high enough.

Artemis is a renowned general in the Fire Mora who often fought alongside Zetterburn. She was sent to Julesvale by Emperor Loxodont on a secret mission. Artemis can heal her wounds in battle, showing off her innate regeneration abilities.

The world of Aether is expanding and Dungeons of Aether adds a new, fascinating facet to the ever-expanding lore! Travel to the steam-punk town of Julesvale and brave the sprawling caverns underneath it. In Story Mode, you’ll play a roguelite adventure that has you starting each dive from town. There you can interact with towns folk and spend your hard-earned gold to gear up for your next run.

Each of the dungeons you’ll dive into have new challenges to face and rewards to collect. As you dive into Julesvale Mines, the Lava Caves, the Underground Oasis and the Mineral Deposits, you’ll be able to collect Journal Entries that reveal even more about Julesvale and its legendary past.

For those of you looking for true roguelike difficulty, the Challenge Dungeons are where you will want to test your skills. Each Challenge Dungeon is randomly generated with unique events and fights. Your mission is to go through all of the biomes in the game in a single run.

Story Mode gives you a chance to casually prepare, interact with NPCs, and savor the exploration of the world, In Challenge Dungeons it’s all up to you!. The Challenge Dungeons also feature a leaderboard based on how much gold you have at the end of the run. Will you spend your gold to make sure you can get through or are you greedy?","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1668290/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1714080470",[2349],{"_16":254,"_255":2350,"_269":2354,"_271":242,"_27":242,"_272":136,"_273":274,"_275":276},[2351],{"_258":2267,"_259":2352,"_261":72,"_262":136,"_263":242,"_264":87,"_265":266,"_267":2353},"Dungeons of Aether - 14,79€",1479,"Buy Dungeons of Aether",{"_279":2353,"_280":2353,"_281":282,"_283":2356,"_285":136,"_286":242},"14,79€","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1668290/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1714080470",{"_291":2359},"Minimum:

Lumencraft: A Top-Down Rogue-Like Shooter with Base Building & Tower Defense

Lumencraft is a unique combination of a top-down shooter and base building game with tower defense elements. Enter procedurally generated levels with a fully destructible environment to build your base, dig some tunnels and find the precious Lumen - humanity's only chance for survival.

BECOME THE SAVIOR OF MANKIND
For two centuries the remnants of humanity struggle to survive without electricity and light. But there is a spark of hope. In 2221 the survivors find Lumen – a crystal of high energy potency that may be the last chance for mankind. Scouts, brave miners, established an underground settlement and voyage into the dark to reach the nearby Lumen deposits. But the darkness consumed them, as the subterranean caves and tunnels hold as much danger as salvation. Now it’s time for you to step into the endless shadows…

DRILL AND SHOOT YOUR WAY TO SALVATION
The lightless underground holds swarms of enemies that will raid your base. Illuminate the gloomy tunnels with your weapons and turrets in a struggle for survival. Drill new paths and shafts to reach valuable resources or blast walls and your foes.

EXPLORE A FULLY DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT
With a lot of effort and a set of original algorithms, 2Dynamic Games have transformed the open-source Godot Engine into a completely new tool. This allows every bit of terrain (pixel, as we used to call them) to be destroyed, and maps to be painted as if in a drawing program.

YOUR WAY TO PLAY
Lumencraft offers several game modes to suit your gameplay style. With a 27-mission campaign experience the full narrative of humanity’s struggle for survival. Jump into procedurally generated maps and fight in a true roguelike fashion. Or maybe create your own level in the editor, or try out what the creators and Steam Workshop users have prepared for you. Custom game types (e.g. tower defence, action, survival or mix of them) with user-defined starting technologies/upgrades and goals allow you to test your skills as a scout in any conditions. Invite your friend to play locally or using Steam Remote play and dive into the darkness together.

MAP EDITOR
Easily create stunning maps with moldable terrain and a variety of objects to choose from. Invite friends to play in your custom map and define game types, starting technologies, upgrades, and goals.

We hope the community will create many amazing maps for the Steam Workshop.

KEY FEATURES

Multiple game modes - a story campaign, custom maps created by the developers and the community or procedurally generated levels. The choice is yours!
Defending the underground settlement by direct combat and the use of diversified turrets.
Highly efficient and satisfying digging mechanics (just listen to the sweet sound of crushed rocks and Lumen).
Explosive weapons. Yes, we have dynamite.
Dynamic lights and pixel-perfect interaction with a fully destructible terrain.
Dread atmosphere created through an impactful sound design and a unique 2Dynamic lighting system.
Realistic simulations. Just look at the lava!
Play with your friends in co-op mode either using Steam Remote Play or locally on a shared screen :)

Anima Flux is a co-op metroidvania with two genetically enhanced soldiers, special agents of a theocratic dictatorial regime. Fight your way through swarms of mutants through a desolate, dystopian space city and save humanity's last stronghold, if, of course, anyone is still alive...

The only human city located on the space ark is subjected to an organized mutant invasion. For the sake of survival, a theocratic totalitarian regime sends its best troops to rescue the city and eliminate the threat.

Take control of two elite soldiers, combine their unique abilities and skills. Finesse your way around through the most ferocious foes. Act bravely and fearlessly. After all, you can trick death, by transferring your anima with the latest implant technology. Don’t get consumed by fear of death, because the truth is grimmer.

Co-Op Metroidvania
The unusual spin of the genre, turns the classic metroidvania into a fun, couch co-op adventure. Both characters develop differently as the game goes on. Explore the grim locations of the space ark, rescue an ambushed or seriously injured partner. Get challenged by dangerous mutants and build your own boss-fight strategies together with a friend. And the best part is that you can always switch to single player mode if your pal is not around.
A mind-blowing dystopia
The story is set in a highly detailed game world, told in stunning hand-drawn animated cutscenes, and elaborated in dialogs full of irony. Tragic and intriguing fates of the supporting characters will immerse you into the human world of the far future, where moral and ethical issues trouble the mind more than ever. Search for the truth and prepare for incredible twists and turns.

Lost Soul Aside™

Fight to save your world. Save your sister. Save your soul.

A HERO’S JOURNEY

Louisa’s gone. She’s gone?! How could this happen?

We had plans, a future. Everything was going to be better. But… it’s over?

No. We have to fight on, the rest of us cannot give up.

And now I have an unlikely ally… I’m becoming more powerful.

Can I save her? Can I bring back her soul?

Run the gauntlet of formidable enemies and colossal bosses in this breathtakingly stylish single player action-adventure RPG; chaining weapon and spectacular attack combos in high-octane, dynamic combat.

Adapt your fighting style, solve puzzles, and evolve incredible abilities on a truly heroic quest.

A WORLD IN CONFLICT

It was supposed to be the night that everything changed.

This was the moment Kaser, Louisa and the rebel group finally step out of the shadows – a chance to disrupt the Emperor’s grand birthday celebrations, to take a stand against his cruel oppression, and to give the people something to believe in.

Something to hope for.

But in a heartbeat, everything fell apart.

A violent meteor storm rained down from the heavens, crushing everything below.

Louisa’s soul was taken.

Kaser changed.

With a mysterious new ally at his side, Kaser sets out on a mission to bring his sister back from beyond, realizing the meteor shower was no natural phenomenon.

It was the arrival of the Voidrax, dimensional invaders on a conquest to destroy other species and drain the energy from their souls.

With his new abilities, Kaser must travel across worlds and dimensions to face terrifying enemies head-on to save his sister, and humanity.

And so this hero’s journey begins…

FIGHT FOR EVERYTHING

Legends are born from trials.

So steel yourself for electrifyingly fast, dynamic combat that pushes your reflexes and resolve to the absolute limit.

Your enemies are relentless and will show no mercy. Neither must you.

Unleash your skills, combat abilities, and swordsmanship to chain fast and fluid diverse combos; dishing out truly devastating damage across each combat phase.

And think fast to dodge or parry incoming attacks, outmanoeuvring menacing creatures and toweringly monstrous bosses to stay alive in dynamic jaw-dropping encounters.

Simple to grasp, challenging to perfect. You have total freedom to fight your way; switching weapons, mixing attack patterns and learning your enemy’s movements in adrenaline-pumping battles charged with spectacular visual effects.

CHARACTER EVOLUTION

Kaser has the potential to grow even stronger, attaining new skills and abilities throughout his mission.

By earning Experience Points, you can unlock and choose more attributes from the character Skill Tree.

Experiment with your picks and try different combinations to build, define and refine your personal playstyle for the challenges that lie ahead.

Weapon skills

Enhance your combat prowess by unleashing attack combos amplified by each weapon’s unique special stats. Vary the range and impact of each attack as you swiftly switch weapons, combining effects for maximum damage.

Burst Pursuit

Intensify and stylize your attacks with precise, high-impact bursts of strength by timing your button presses during weapon combos for devastating results.

Fusion Merge/Fusion Blast

Charge the Fusion Gauge through attack combos and abilities, summoning Arena’s claws to strike fiercely at enemies. This upgradeable skill unlocks new combat techniques as Kaser advances on his mission.

Survival skills

Stay in the fight for longer by boosting your dodge reflexes, and honing the fine art of precision parry timing.

Epic weaponry

Collect a diverse array of melee weapons and define your playstyle with stylish, effective combat.

Each weapon’s unique stats can greatly influence your tactical approach as you unleash flurries of light or heavy attacks, dodge incoming blows, and swiftly adjust your stance to maintain control of the fight.

Seamlessly swap weapons in the heat of battle to adapt your attack patterns and execute a wide range of powerful combos.

Weapon customisation

You can enhance and customise each of your weapons using special weapon fragments discoverable during your adventures.

These fragments offer endless possibilities as they can transform the appearance of your weapons, boost your combat or healing capabilities, or even upgrade your fighting style.

Attach fragments to your weaponry and experiment with unique combinations to uncover thrilling and powerful effects as you build the ultimate weapon.

STUNNING WORLDS TO EXPLORE

Prepare to adventure far and wide across dangerous dimensions, majestic lands, and strange new worlds filled with mysterious architecture.

From snow-covered vistas to long-lost ruins, ancient alien relics and more, you will meet allies and enemies each with their own unique background tale to be told.

As relationships evolve over the course of his journey, Kaser will come to understand the true meaning of friendship, family and ultimately, sacrifice.

INCISION is a brutal, fast, merciless blast from the past inspired by the godfathers of the first person shooter genre such as Doom, Quake, Blood, Shadow Warrior. INCISION offers an experience that demands skill and focus from its player, and rewards them with intense carnage that will paint the town red. Yours is a simple job. Cut, shoot, burn and decimate it all to stop the spread of the Growth. Mercy is weakness. Hesitation is death.

INCISION is designed to be merciless in its difficulty, but the player will never feel weak in the face of danger. Your arsenal is varied, powerful, loud, and will easily turn enemies into sticky red puddles, as long as they don't first do it to you. Movement is fast and responsive; story never gets in the way of the gameplay.

Ten weapons of mass-slaughter, all including powerful alternative firing modes. Fire a volley of bouncing incendiary bombs out of your shotgun. Lob grenades from your heavy machine gun to turn your foes into red mist. Do tricks with your trusty revolver to maximize its damage output. Spray a volley of four incendiary rockets and watch even the strongest foe crumble into ashes before you. Go berserk with a saw-spear that works as a long-range slashing weapon or as a close-range buzzsaw.

The world of INCISION has been transformed into a living nightmare where a ever-consuming, ever-growing mass of flesh and machine live in unholy symbiosis. All we hold familiar and comfortable has been turned into a network of hellish, rusty, pulsating labyrinthian series of factories that serve as the nerves and organs for some greater being that only seeks to merge, unite and grow.

The Growth has merged and united all life on the planet, turning its people into machine-freaks, all of them designed to turn anyone who opposes their regime inside-out. Augmented soldiers with burst-firing energy rifles, mad sycophants with ricocheting sawblades, machine spider-priests aka. "Spiderpopes" with homing missiles. INCISION's roster of monsters will keep you on your toes til the bloody end.

HEAD-BANGING & SKULL-RATTLING

INCISION includes a soundtrack by Frédérick Chicoine "iNi"; An entire album's worth of atmospheric horror ambience and mayhem-inducing metal that will burst your veins with adrenaline.

Dive in!

A remake of the 2004 game METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER, with the same gripping story and engrossing world, now with all new graphics and 3D audio that enhance the jungle atmosphere. Get ready for the ultimate survival stealth action experience.

The Cold War Crisis that started it all
In the middle of the Cold War, Naked Snake, the man who would later be known as Big Boss, infiltrates the Soviet Union to escort a defecting scientist, Sokolov. However, the mission ends in failure when Snake's mentor—The Boss, a soldier known as the mother of special forces—betrays him, and Sokolov is captured by Colonel Volgin of the GRU.

One week later, Snake returns to Soviet territory to rescue Sokolov and eliminate The Boss—a mission that will mark the start of a new legend, a mission that will mark the start of a new legend, against the backdrop of the ever-changing march of history.

Everything you love, and more
The story, characters, voice acting, gameplay, and music that made the original a sensation return, remade for modern consoles. This evolutionary leap breathes new life into every cutscene, and rebuilds every corner of the world.

Gorgeously rendered graphics
With Unreal Engine 5, expansive stages are rendered with cutting-edge technology. Incredible new graphics bring the wild growth of the jungles, forests, and swamps to life in exquisite detail. Characters are rendered in such fine detail that facial wrinkles, pores, and even separate eye and iris movements are visible, allowing for rich and emotive facial animations.

Authentic to life portrayals
The battle damage system has been upgraded, with the wear and tear of Snake's clothes, as well as bruises and bullet wounds on his body, reflected in real time. Injuries will leave their mark on Snake's body permanently, telling a story of each player's unique journey through the game.

Deeply immersive experiences
Players can elect for a newly added, more modern control style. These intuitive controls let you focus entirely on the game, and the immersive thrills of the survival stealth experience. You can also choose to play with a classic control style that more closely recreates the feel of the original game.

Study a multitude of spells to cast over the lands around you, summon fantastical minions and train mighty warriors to roam the world. Fight in fast-paced but tactical turn-based battles.

Explore the Realm of Eo

Win over mighty heroes to go on adventures for you, find useful artefacts and ingredients or bring back riches.
Seek out talented apprentices to expand your domain and workers to gather a wealth of resources for you. Unearth the secrets inherited from your master and follow his quest to tap and unleash the ultimate source of magical power – the Allfire!

Face powerful foes

Among the other mages, there are those who would oppose your rise to power. You will have to face great armies and even greater ambitions of your rival Mages. Can you survive the struggle for domination?
To expand your domain, you will need to control sources of Allfire, so you can fill your grimoire with new magical spells, craft mighty artefacts, and expand and improve your tower.

Choose wisely

Become a Necromancer creating dozens of powerful undead, an Alchemist concocting potions and explosive vials for use in battle or an Artificer crafting glyphs and magical items to furnish your troops with. Bolster your might with over 60 spells and more than 100 different troops from lowly goblins to majestic griffons.

Leave your mark

Befriend cities, harvest resources, and expand your domain. Fill your grimoire with arcane knowledge to best your rivals as you vie for sources of power. Hunt arcane artefacts and unearth the long-hidden secrets of the Shapers or take control of mythical locations to absorb their power. Improve your tower and furnish it with new rooms to grow your dominion, with upgrades ranging from a necromancer’s crypt to the mystical crystal chamber.

Tower on the fly

Your immense magical sophistication allows your tower to levitate from the ground and travel the lands.
On your path to exploit the sources of magical power on Eo, you will face New Purity fanatics, hostile granite dwarves, and bloodthirsty orcs. Encounter undead, demons, and monsters as you explore forgotten ruins or help a village haunted by ghosts.
You might even need to face the other wizards’ armies of minions and best them in battle so you can march on your competitors’ towers and reduce them to rubble. Or perhaps you might find a way for you to appease them and profit from their knowledge?

SpellForce: Conquest of Eo lets you dive into a rich world, filled to the brim with magic and adventure. Will you succeed or perish in the struggle to become the greatest mage the world has ever seen?

Expand and improve your tower and construct new rooms to forge your wizard’s path
Choose from one of three archetypes and six spell lists, all allowing different styles of play
Recruit individual heroes and apprentices to lead your troops
Make the living interactive grimoire reveal new secrets and spells to you

4.5/5 – RPGamer

“Quartet is a very traditional turn-based RPG, with wonderful writing and perfect pacing. Its combat, although familiar feeling is a lot of fun, and swapping between characters and locations keeps the experience fresh in those early hours. To call it a warm hug of an RPG would be an understatement, and I was happy to live in its bubble for as long as it would have me.”
8.5/10 – Loot Level Chill

“Quartet not only excels with its fantastic ensemble cast, eclectic music, colorful visuals, engaging gameplay, and engrossing story, but its intangible “x factor” made my twenty-eight-hour or so jaunt a special experience. If this review does not put Quartet on RPG fans’ radars, then perhaps the notion of adventuring with Juna—a sage, sassy, and supportive talking hippo—will.”

Story:

A series of train robberies leads to evidence of a government conspiracy. A mysterious deck of cards gives a young girl a vision of another world. A fleet of deadly airships burns a path across the Imperial frontier. The world’s unlikeliest hero manifests tremendous magical power. These stories intertwine in the world of Quartet. Before it is all over, the eight heroes will uncover how a secret, centuries-old conflict literally reshaped the world. Then they will have their own decision to make about the destiny of magic.

Gameplay

Quartet begins with four separate stories, playable in any order. Those stories come together, giving the player a final party of eight characters. In combat, the player can deploy four of those characters at a time, with the ability to quickly swap in any of the four “reserve” characters. When a character swaps in, they immediately take their turn. While characters are in the reserves, they regenerate their AP at an enhanced rate. This allows clever players to hit the enemy with a never-ending stream of their best attacks, by swapping characters in at just the right moment.

Like any good RPG, exploration is a key gameplay element in Quartet. Climb ropes, traverse dangerous cliff gaps and discover secret paths and be rewarded with powerful and rare loot, and with 8 playable characters, Quartet has a lot of rare loot and secrets to uncover.

Combat:

Eight characters fight against enemies in turn-based combat. The player can deploy four characters at a time, with the ability to swap in any of the four reserve characters. Swapped characters are able to immediately take a turn. While characters are in the reserve, they continue to regenerate their AP, allowing tactically savvy players to hit the enemy with a never-ending stream of their best attacks.

Features

Combat is fast-paced, turn-based, and full to the brim with TONS of special abilities to use. Each character and enemy turn are shown in the turn queue on the right, allowing the player to plan devastating and timely tactical strikes.
Players can unleash multiple elemental and physical abilities to exploit enemy weaknesses.
AP automatically regenerates after a hero's turn. So don't be stingy—spam those spells!
In Quartet, you control 4 characters on the front line, with the other 4 ready to jump into the action at any time. Ready to bring out your heavy-hitter or an emergency healer? Swap in seamlessly from the reserve party! Swapped-in characters take their turn immediately, with no penalty.
While characters are in the reserves, they also regenerate their ability points (AP) more rapidly, making swapping a crucial element of combat.
From the steampunk-inspired streets of Leornin to the forests on the barbarian frontier; from the cursed marshes of Tyche to the underworld warehouses of Seren, Quartet offers lots to explore.
Exploration is absolutely worth your while. With eight party members to equip, you need lots of gear, and a lot of it comes out of a treasure chest.
We have a hippo as a playable character

Join Marisa and Kapi as they journey into the jungles of Amazonia! The Girl from Arkanya is a pixel art action RPG that draws inspiration from 2D Zelda classics such as Minish Cap and Four Swords Adventures. Our tale begins in Arkanya, a city at the edge of the world. In a realm of danger and mystery, Marisa the Treasure Hunter strives to build a reputation for herself and carry on her family's legacy.

Along the way, a terrible turn of events forces Marisa to work alongside an unusual ally, a magical capybara known to the land as Ka'apiuara Yum Kaax. But you can call him Kapi!

Now they embark on an epic journey to save their home!
...And make some money doing it.

Journey Through 7 Unique Zones! Each of The Girl from Arkanya's overworld zones have been hand-crafted and are filled with people to meet, landmarks to discover, and most importantly, treasure to find!
Delve into 6 Challenging Dungeons! Each dungeon in The Girl from Arkanya has a unique theme, and tells an important part of the story. Find out what riches and perils await within!
Unlock Dozens of Collectables! Amazonia is home to many valuable artifacts, and each one tells a different piece of the land's history. Become a part of that history by collecting them all!

Obtain Unique Items! Use 15 equippable tools to solve puzzles, traverse terrain, and defeat your foes. Each item offers a new playstyle and allows you to progress in ways you couldn't previously, and some can be upgraded into even stronger versions!
Learn Ancient Magic! With each dungeon you complete, Marisa obtains a new spell which can be activated by performing sacred dances. These dances provide new powers to both Marisa and Kapi, granting each of them special abilities!

Swap Between Two Playable Characters! Alternating between controlling Marisa and Kapi is crucial to overcoming many of the challenges that await you in Amazonia.
Bring a Friend! The Girl from Arkanya features local co-op, allowing a second player to drop in and out of the adventure at any time.
Now You're Thinking With Capybaras! Creative use of the character-swapping mechanic creates endless opportunities for you to optimize your gameplay, and prove that you are truly the best treasure hunter out there!

So, what do you say, mate?

Welcome to Whisper Town—a cozy and heartwarming game about decorating, organizing, and uncovering little stories.

You’ll step into the role of the town’s all-around housekeeper, taking on charming, quirky tasks: moving into new homes, tidying cluttered rooms, preparing new shops, sorting through treasured keepsakes… even tracking down cats! Complete each task to earn rewards, collect furniture, and freely design a space that’s entirely your own.

As you help others put their lives in order, you may unknowingly change the course of their stories, and slowly discover the unusual secrets hidden in this charming little town…

For lovers of tidy spaces! Turn cluttered rooms into warm, organized havens in a soothing, detail-rich gameplay experience. The teacup by the bed, the plant by the window, the letters covered in dust—each one will find its perfect “home” in your hands. Sweep through forgotten corners, sort every keepsake, and uncover the quiet stories and traces of life hidden behind every item you place.

Ahem… but some furniture is just begging to be messed with!

You might find yourself pressing the button on that vintage gramophone, giving the rubber duck by the tub a playful squeeze, or sneakily pulling a tissue from the box. It’s as if this little town is whispering to you through these tiny, mischievous gestures.

In Whisper Town, every resident has untold troubles or hidden wishes—secrets buried in a garden, a faded photo left in a hospital room, an alchemy workshop long abandoned. Piece together the smallest clues to uncover their unspoken memories, weaving a story where mystery and love intertwine.

Your style, your rules. With over 1,800 pieces of furniture and more than 10 unique home layouts, every space is yours to design. Line a study wall from floor to ceiling with bookshelves, fill a sunlit mini-greenhouse with blooms, or stock a doomsday shelter to the brim with supplies—create the home you’ve always dreamed of. However you imagine it, every detail is yours to choose.

Wallpapers, flooring, and select pieces of furniture can be recolored or retextured to perfectly match your mood and style.

Dozens of items also feature custom sound effects—tap the drums, snap a photo, run the tap. In this home, you don’t just see it—you hear it.

As you spend time with the townsfolk, you grow closer to them, and slowly form bonds with them. But beneath these warm, everyday moments, the town hides something.

A number—42—flickers above the museum.

A sudden rainbow across the sky. A “heart-stealing ghost” haunts the well. Tentacles creep from the cracks.

What lies behind these mysteries?

Perhaps the one destined to uncover the truth… is you.
