Before the Silence Claims: In Absentia changes
The hum of the wire is a debt unpaid, A copper ghost in a house of shade. No dials to turn for a cleaner lie, Just the crystal’s truth, where the signals die.
Greetings to all,
The signal continues to propagate — and now with a clarity that crosses oceans and time zones. In these past few weeks, we have crossed a new threshold: the In Absentia frequency has already been tuned in 28 countries.
Watching our shared memory recently echo in South Korea, Hong Kong, and the Netherlands is, once again, hauntingly beautiful. From close neighbors to distant horizons, Eisenschall is being rebuilt by hands from all over the world.
Why a Galena Radio?
In Eisenschall, the answer to the horror lies not in weapons, but in archaic physics. This is no ordinary inventory item; it is your total diegetic interface. In Anton’s world, there are no HUDs or floating maps; there is only the weight of the wood, the glow of the vacuum tubes, and the precision of the crystal.
To survive the "Witnesses" (Testemunhas), you will need to:
Tune with Precision: Operate the spring arm (cat-whisker) over the galena crystal to capture frequencies that modern science ignores.
Manage Instability: The vacuum tubes heat up and pulse. They are your light and your danger.
The Anguish of Closure: There are moments when the signal becomes unbearable. Closing the radio is your only refuge, but in the "seconds of silence" it takes for the lid to descend, you will be completely vulnerable.
A Glimpse into the Signal...

We are transposing every dial and every spring into HDRP, ensuring the object’s physics are as real as Anton’s anguish. But tuning the past takes time. Mark your calendars: in MAY, we will release the new gameplay trailer, focused entirely on the tactile operation of this radio.
The Reach of the Transmission

The numbers on Steam show that the signal is arriving strong. If you haven't added the game to your Wishlist yet, do so today. Every wishlist is a new amplifier for our transmission.
The State of the Translation: We are finalizing the physical behavior (PBR) of the materials. I want you to feel the friction of the bakelite and the oxidation of the brass. Soon, in our July"Vertical Slice", you will feel the weight of this object in your own hands.
Keep listening. The radio is heating up.
