Sorry it’s been quiet around here lately… we have received some sad news. Our art director, artist and core member of our team has been diagnosed with cancer. We will share his work over the next few weeks and would be grateful for any likes, shares or kind words.

Teamwork 👊🏻

Without our small but mighty team, SOREN wouldn’t exist and without teamwork between the WOLF and the HARE, you won’t get far in-game either.

Comment teamwork to support our dream of bringing SOREN to Steam!

Working behind the scenes refining the particle effects...

Our dream is to create a fun and immersive Platformer but as a small team we only have a 2D Artist on board, so we use trickery and artistic visuals to make the game seem 3D at a glance.
