While many of you have been waiting for news on the next official update for , we regret to inform you that this announcement will instead focus on the future direction and development plans for our projects.
We’d like to take this opportunity to share the internal discussions we’ve had over the past months, and how they’ve led us to a structural reorganization of our roadmap and some new creative experiments.
The Road Ahead for
We challenged ourselves by launching an early access title in the co-op survival horror genre within a short development period.
However, we humbly acknowledge that we have not fully met expectations.
There were clear limitations in what we could achieve in a short time, and we also recognize areas where we were underprepared.
Therefore, rather than rushing to a full release, we have decided to take the time needed to thoroughly rework the game’s core systems and structure from the ground up.
Our goal is to rebuild with confidence, ensuring it aligns with a clear and compelling design vision.
We are currently exploring various possibilities with great care.
Once a solid direction is established, we will share a renewed roadmap with you.
We sincerely thank all players who have waited patiently and ask for your continued understanding as we take these next steps.

is a spin-off title that shares the world and timeline of .
It is being crafted as a traditional survival horror experience, focusing on immersive storytelling, tension-filled exploration, and the dread of navigating a tightly confined ship.
Our aim is to provide a deeply atmospheric and story-rich experience.
