Happy Birthday, Fine Work Act I!

Vivid Friends,

This world is wild and ever-shifting. Dreamt by ancients of fathomless scale and power. Newer dreamers must find the gentle places - the easy places, by chance or design.

You’ve found one such place in Gleamhold, and today - you’ll open shop!!

Happy Official Release of Fine Work: Act I! Available NOW on Steam!

Get to know Gleamhold’s otherworldly residents, and win them over with your artistic prowess (or, you know, just being friendly). You’ll grow close to your clients over late-night gossip, underground escapades, drinks at the Hobby Lantern, and exploring memories while sendshaping.

Craft beautiful, bespoke artifacts with musical gameplay. Explore your clients’ memories in a surreal 3D dreamscape as you perfect your trade. Each client brings their own distinct musical style, be it foley-driven electronica, sword-fight breakcore, or baroque chamber tunes.

With 2 unique sendshaping experiences per song, player-character customization, and many branching narrative paths, there’s a lot to explore! We really hope you love it!
