Steam post image Hello runaways,

We’re incredibly happy (and a bit emotional!) to announce that the A Study in Blue demo is officially live as part of the Steam Next Fest!

After four years of development, you can finally step into Republica and experience the beginning of our narrative investigation game.

Watch our trailer here

A Study in Blue is a fully handcrafted 2D pixel art investigative thriller in which you play as a runaway teenager, Blue, and a life-worn private detective, Kenneth, searching for a missing sister in a city fractured by gang wars and buried family secrets.

Your decisions will influence the relationships between characters, the different narrative branches and even the way the two protagonists perceive each other… Every pixel, animation, and environment has been handcrafted by our small team to create a carefully built, cohesive world.
