| Community Time: last week of August | 2024-09-02 | August is over, and we'd like to share with the community the interesting things that happened in the last week of the month.

And just at the beginning of last week he made a wonderful surprise: brought our art to life walpaper!

| Meet Beyond The Darkness! | 2024-08-28 | Hello everyone!!! Today we'd like to talk a bit more about what the game is about, and what stage of development it's in. First of all, Beyond The Darkness is a dark adventure in the spirit of a nightmarish fairy tale. We aim to tell a story full of mystery and danger. The story is told on behalf of a girl named Millie. She will find herself in her own world, consisting of her home and other ‘spaces’ hidden behind closed doors. Millie doesn't know how she got here, where her parents and brother have gone. The only thing she has at her disposal is an old lamp her mum gave her. Thanks to it, she can light her way and charge other lamps. However |
| BEYOND THE DARKNESS: broadcast | 2023-06-20 | In Beyond The Darkness, help Millie conquer her fears and find her parents in a world of vivid memories. Maintain your lamp's light, use it to fight evil images, unlock doors, and navigate the eerie realm. Each level uncovers new aspects of her haunting past. |
