    Two as One — Silk & Sorrow Descends Into a World of Discarded Dreams

    Beneath our feet lies everything we threw away — and everything we forgot. Snowberry Games, a two-person indie studio based in Antwerp, Belgium, has unveiled their haunting debut: Silk & Sorrow, a hand-drawn dark fantasy adventure built from the ground up exclusively for two players.

    Welcome to the Chrysalis

    You and a partner step into the shoes of Silk and Sorrow — two children who stumble into the Chrysalis: a vast, hidden realm beneath our world made not of stone and soil, but of what humanity cast aside. Broken things, faded memories, abandoned emotions, and even forgotten lives have settled here, knitting together a landscape that is beautiful, eerie, and deeply dangerous.

    Together, you must explore, survive, and find a way to bring light back to a realm slowly being swallowed by darkness.

    One Light, Two Fates

    What makes Silk & Sorrow truly unique is how it turns trust into your most vital tool:

    • A single light source — your companion Glint, a tiny glowing grub — can only be held by one player at a time. One of you will always work in the shadows
    • Communication is survival — call out what you see, coordinate your moves, and have each other’s backs when one is blind to what lurks nearby
    • Built for two — available as both couch co-op and online co-op, designed so neither player can progress alone
    • Hand-drawn soul — every creature, backdrop, and animation is crafted frame by frame, giving the Chrysalis a living, breathing storybook beauty

    Feed Glint fireflies to strengthen its glow and unlock new abilities, but never forget: the light is shared — and so is the danger.

    What Lies Ahead

    Silk & Sorrow is slated to arrive on Steam in 2027, with a Chapter 1 demo planned for December 2026 so you and a friend can experience the first descent before launch.

    This is more than an adventure — it’s a promise: you don’t have to face the dark alone. Wishlist now, find your partner, and prepare to bring light where it’s needed most.
