My very first — and most heartfelt — game is now free to play. It’s been a long road. I’ve been developing games since 2017. There were highs, there were lows, but I’ve always loved what I do.

I hope new players will give this project a chance. Yes, it’s aged — but even now, I believe it still looks and plays better than some newer releases.

We’ve also added a full French translation — completely free. This has been a frequent request for a long time, and we made sure to include it before switching to the free version. The translation isn’t perfect, but I hope it won’t ruin the experience.

Unfortunately, this milestone was somewhat overshadowed by the recent rejection of our new project. Many of you have already seen the news. It’s disappointing — the new game is clearly strong, and had great potential to succeed financially. When I first released it, I was anxious. But now I see it for what it is: a potential hit. Still, without Steam and its reach, there’s only so much ground we can cover.

But as someone once said — an artist must stay hungry.

So we’ll continue working. Sales from Void Calling and the promising growth of Boundaries of Morality give me hope that we’ll finish what we started — and finish it well.

You won’t see us on Steam for a couple of years. I prefer to complete what I begin.

Thank you all.
And have a great day.

I'm absolutely gutted to hear that Steam rejected Boundaries of Morality. I had it 'wishlisted' and logged in one morning to see a blank space on my wishlist. I agree that your graphics are stunning but I don't see how that makes them 'real people'. Couldn't you say the same thing of films? We all know that, in a fiction film, the actors aren't 'real people'. It seems to me that if they're going to accuse you of using real people, they have to identify the real people ... but ... I've read your response to Peter Freeman of two days ago. Frustrating. Especially if you can't actually discuss it with another intelligent member of species Homo Sapiens.

I wrote that I have source files for every upload and I’m ready to provide them anytime. But they’re absolutely unapproachable — meaning that even if they made a mistake, they won’t bother to double-check. They didn’t ask me for anything, didn’t request any confirmation — just flat-out rejected it. Still, thank you.

Learn from Nintendo, their old games from 25 years ago were the same price and the new ones are 90 euros 😈🎈. Seriously speaking, I'm sure more than one person will enjoy the game, it's always appreciated 👍.

It’s unlikely to help us. Between us and Steam there’s a wall of bots replying with pre-written phrases. I’m in correspondence with them, demanding that they at least show me where they see “real people” in the images. But their replies are short and robotic. Basically, there’s just someone sitting there who bears no responsibility and simply decides whether you're worthy of being on Steam or not. And once they decide — that’s it, the final word. The fact that people can make mistakes doesn’t concern anyone. I even wrote directly that the game contains AI — asked them to pay attention to that.
