🌍 Official Selection 2026 announcement 🌍 We’re excited to reveal the first Official Selection games for 2026, featuring titles from studios around the world. Experience these titles first-hand at New Game Plus. #LGF26

Meet Alex, a London-based systems designer, and former co-founder of Bit Barons & Fairytale Distillery! From PvP MMO The Exiled to small indie & board game projects, he builds playful systems with emergent stories 🔧 On Imprinted, he’s behind the UX of Ardesia OS & WaveSplice, amongst other things.

So thankful for the many awesome games submitted to our 'Fake OS' Steam event - and happy to say InterfaceX26 (official name, yey!) is taking shape! 🤩

Many sounds in Imprinted come from somewhere real. In our latest Substack, we explore the tools, field recordings, and analog processes behind Vincent & Viola, and reveal the in-game forum where real musicians bleed into (and out of) the game 🛣️

We're proud to announce that Imprinted is in the @londongamesfest.bsky.social Official Selection 2026! 🇬🇧 Keep your ear to the ground for some more news coming soon 🗞️ Who knows, you might even hear something stirring beneath you...

Got a little announcement!! 🚨 I'm doing a Kickstarter for Shutter Story later this month!! :) Link below if you want to stay updated 👇and thank you for all the support so far!

How it feels to test your one week old build on steam when lots of stuff is happening:

🎼 ICYMI, we dropped info about the musician Viola Fossati, Vincent's latest job and obsession:

I love games that feel like strange found artifacts. They don’t have to literally be found footage like Sam Barlow’s brand of FMV games, but games that don’t feel like they’re chief aim is to be experienced in a recognizably game-y way. Indie and AA games will be more of a focus for me this year.

Seems like a good year for audio horror film fans - Rabbit trap first, now Undertone 😍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_TR...

The indie game we're making and 3 of our inspirations behind it... 📼 Her Story: for the FMV format, depth of character, & the voyeurism. 🫀 Phantasmagoria 2: I played it when I was far to young! 🛣️ Lost Highway: Really, most of David Lynch's work, for capturing the state of dreaming so wonderfully.

Hi, everyone! My name is Filippo, and I'm the founder of Cobalt Lane 🛣️ I'm a game audio designer who's worked on titles such as Tavern Talk, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, and Itorah. This year, we're launching our first ever game: Imprinted 👁️ We'll be sharing our journey to launch here!

✨KICKSTARTER LAUNCH DATE ANNOUNCEMENT✨🐝 The Kickstarter campaign goes live on Jan 27(!), so no better time to follow than RIGHT 👏 NOW 👏 Early-bird pricing is only available the first 48h! But why let us tell you, when you can have a very special someone do exactly that? 👀 youtu.be/wJoDnbIeMw4?...

Are you a dev making a "Fake OS", Interface based game a la Her Story, The Operator, Desktop Explorer... or Imprinted? : D We are organizing a dedicated steam sale and would love to include your game as well!! forms.gle/5G4uSLroqq7r...

I keep thinking about Viola Fossati... She was a woman who recorded fragments instead of songs, and vanished before anyone was listening. We shared more about her this week 🛣️

This photo of Jigen is just missing a pirate bandana 😆

Hello world, we've just announced our new game 👁️ Imprinted is our new psychological thriller about the dark side of creativity. Some music never truly leaves their creators 🎶 🗨️ store.steampowered.com/app/3980340/...

Tangled up. It's getting closer 📼 Ready your headphones 🎧 January 12, 9AM PT 👁️🗨️

It was quiet at first, almost imperceptible. Now I can't get it out of my head. Can you hear it too? 🎧

Does anyone here know anyone who does photo restoration? No AI shit. We found my Grandad's old film camera, and it had some film in it. We got it developed and it was mostly cooked and covered in light leaks, but this one image of my late Gran half-survived. I'm wondering what can be done for it.

Traveling on Cobalt Lane open.substack.com/pub/cobaltla... First post up! Starting a Dev/Dream Diary about creating my first game and transitioning from making music for games to actually developing one of my own : D

Over 40,000 people have now wishlisted Innkeep. Thank you so much everyone. Making games is a real rollercoaster. Some days it can be super tough. But seeing the interest and excitement from people waiting to play the game is such a boost.

Psst... #1 in a rebooted series of Innkeep devlogs is dropping in under 3 hours. 🤫 youtu.be/jUPK35ZnK4A?...

So glad to be maling music for Innkeep ❤️If you haven't already and always wanted to play as a cheeky Innkeeper trying to survive a multitude of grotesque situations, do check it out! 🍻

My grandmother use to say お与えが無い (didn't receive the blessing) about someone who didn't like a a particular food. It meant liking something is wonderful and not being able to enjoying it sad and unfortunate. so celebrate what you love and be excited about it

News from the lovely Gentle Trolls! P.S. I'm making piratey music again, hooray 🥰

We have something big coming your way. 👀 May 29th, 2025 - 6 days left
