Thank you everyone who pledged, everyone who posted us around the web, and everyone who joined us on the live stream late last night! We had a blast, and are excited to get back to full development. Running a Kickstarter takes a lot of time and... (Read More)

For puzzle and solitary first-person exploration fans, you're about to feel like you've died and gone to heaven. Or at least died and gone to XING: The Land Beyond in the newly-released sandbox demo for the upcoming "contemplative journey through the afterlife." (Read More)

Hello everyone! The time has come to release our Sandbox Tech Demo!  We’ve worked long and hard over the past few weeks to fulfill our supporters’ requests for a playable build (all-nighters included). In order to get this out in a timely... (Read More)
