The countdown has officially begun.

After all the work, feedback, and support, A Tale of Silent Depths is finally approaching launch. We’re incredibly happy to be this close, and we want to sincerely thank everyone who has followed the project so far. This game has been in development for six years, during which we also released other games and gained the experience that made this project possible. For me, Eduardo, bringing this game to life has been a deeply meaningful journey and a great joy.
