PARIS FADES, SAND REMAINS — WONDERFALL SETS DATE: DECEMBER 9 ON STEAM

The City of Light is turning to dust. Independent studio Attaboy Interactive has confirmed that WONDERFALL, its hauntingly beautiful third-person narrative adventure, will launch on PC via Steam on Wednesday, 9 December 2026. Alongside a brand-new release date trailer, the studio has also unveiled the game’s stellar voice cast — bringing warmth, depth, and humanity to a world slowly dissolving into sand.

ENTROPY CONSUMES PARIS — YOUR HANDS SHAPE WHAT REMAINS

It is 1920. In the wake of the Great War, a new, quieter horror spreads across Paris: Entropy, a mysterious force that turns stone to sand, streets to dunes, and landmarks to mere ghosts of themselves. No one knows its origin. No one understands its pattern. And no one can stop it — except, perhaps, for you.

You play as Léon, a young orphan with a gift no one else possesses: the ability to manipulate the very sand consuming the city. Where others see only erosion, you find a medium. You can shape it, lift it, solidify it, and use it to unlock paths through the crumbling capital — from the buried tunnels of the Métro to the wind-swept rooftops of Notre-Dame, across the Île de la Cité and beyond.

Wonderfall is not a game of combat or conquest — it is one of exploration, connection, and revelation:

Traverse a shifting city — districts transform under Entropy’s influence; familiar streets vanish, replaced by new routes and hidden spaces
Master sand abilities — reshape barriers, bridge gaps, reveal buried secrets, and reach places lost to the collapse
Solve environmental puzzles — read the landscape, trace what remains, and use your gifts to uncover what Entropy has hidden
Unfold a layered story — meet those who remain, hear their accounts, and piece together the truth behind the decay

VOICES OF A FADING CITY — THE CAST REVEALED

Every memory, every warning, every hope carries a voice. Attaboy Interactive is proud to announce the performers who will bring Wonderfall’s cast to life:

Character	Voice Actor	Role
Léon	Ryan Highley	The orphan who walks between worlds — and between eras
Lily	Jeanne Pajon	A fellow survivor who sees the beauty in what is vanishing
Ernest	Paul Bandey	An elder mentor who remembers the city before the fall
Wotan	Patrick Raynal	A figure who seems to understand Entropy more than he admits

Each performance was recorded with an ear for intimacy — capturing the quiet grief, stubborn hope, and fragile bonds that define life in a city slowly slipping away.

FROM DREAM TO DEBRIS — ATTABOY INTERACTIVE’S DEBUT

Wonderfall is the first full project from Attaboy Interactive, a small independent studio dedicated to building atmospheric, character-led experiences where setting is as much a protagonist as the people who inhabit it. The game has already drawn attention through a well-received Steam demo and appearances at Tokyo Game Show and AG French Direct.

“We wanted to make a game about loss — not just the places we love, but the feeling of them — and about what we choose to carry with us when everything else falls away. Léon doesn’t just save Paris… he remembers it.” — Attaboy Interactive

FEAR IS NOT SEEN — IT IS CONSTRUCTED: PROJECT SPOOKY UNVEILED

The house remembers. Do you dare to understand?

A developer vanished while working on his final game. All that remained were his files — an unfinished build of Project Spooky, set inside Casa da Fonte, a place where every room holds a memory and every shadow conceals a secret. Now, independent studio Team 237 has pieced together what was left, bringing Álvaro Llorente’s haunting vision to life.

This is not a game about fighting monsters. It is a game about watching, listening, and connecting the pieces — and realising that some truths are better left undiscovered.

How you experience the horror

Project Spooky is built on three pillars: exploration, observation, and deduction. There are no weapons, no health bars, no direct combat — your eyes and your intuition are your only tools.

Explore Casa da Fonte — a sprawling, shifting estate steeped in the folklore and atmosphere of northern Spain. The house does not stay the same; rooms change when you look away, and doors lead where they shouldn’t
Connect clues — documents, objects, sounds, and echoes reconstruct the stories of those who lived and died here. Every chapter introduces fresh puzzles and hidden layers
Seven unique chapters — each level operates by its own rules. Mirrors show what isn’t there; light keeps something out; sound guides you toward what you cannot see
Hiding and chase sequences — when you draw too much attention, the house responds. Stay out of sight, move quietly, and survive the pursuit
Meta-narrative framing — you are playing the recovered work of a missing creator. The line between the game’s story and its creator’s disappearance blurs as you progress

Understanding is the danger

The game’s core mantra says it plainly: “Fear doesn’t appear. It is constructed.” In most horror, knowledge brings safety — here, the more you comprehend, the more perilous the house becomes.

“A mirror may show you something that does not exist outside its reflection. Sound may guide you toward something you have never seen. Light may protect you… until you understand what it is really keeping away.”

Wings, Whispers & Wild Skies — STONEFEATHER Takes Flight As Free Demo Lands On Steam!

What if the greatest reward in gaming wasn’t defeating what stands in your way — but simply learning how to soar above it? That’s the beautiful, bold promise at the heart of STONEFEATHER, the atmospheric indie adventure from developer ACGames — and today players everywhere can spread their wings, as its free playable demo goes live on Steam as part of the Unmistakable Festival, running October 8–12.

Where The Journey Is The Victory

STONEFEATHER isn’t about swords, shields, or overcoming foes. It’s about flight — pure, graceful, physics-driven flight. You play as a bird born of stone, waking in a world where the wind itself has faded. There are no enemies to strike down, no health bars to monitor, no bosses to conquer. Instead, your quest is to remember how to fly, how to see, and how to restore the life drifting away from the land.

Physics-first flight — every glide, dip, and climb feels tangible. Ride warm updrafts to gain height, tuck your wings to slice through the air, and build momentum to reach places others can’t
A silent, sunlit world — drift across vast plains, weave through crumbling ancient ruins, and soar over valleys steeped in mystery. The silence is intentional — this is a place to breathe, not to fight
Restore the wind — piece together what happened to the vanished breeze, unlock the powerful Wind Boost, and help the skies wake once more

The Plains Await — What The Demo Offers

The demo whisks you to the Plains, the first sweeping region of the full game. It’s a gentle but memorable introduction to everything STONEFEATHER stands for:

Master the basics of flight and feel the difference between a clumsy flutter and a graceful glide
Encounter the Elder, who sets you on your path and hints at the deeper magic woven into these lands
Meet fox spirits who offer movement challenges to test your skill and reward your growing mastery
Seek out hidden butterflies and quiet secrets scattered across the landscape — some visible only when you know where to look

This isn’t a rush to a finish line. You can skim the surface of the experience or dive deep, circling every ruin and skimming every cloud until you know the Plains like your own home.

Double The Festival, Double The Time

The demo launches with Unmistakable Festival (Oct 8–12) — a celebration of art and animation in games — and will also continue into the Birds of Play Digital Showcase (Oct 10–16), giving you plenty of windows to take to the skies.

Detail	Info
Title	STONEFEATHER
Developer	ACGames
Demo Live	Now — October 12 (Unmistakable), then through October 16 (Birds of Play)
Platform	PC — Steam (free demo)
Style	Atmospheric flight adventure — combat-free
Wishlist	Available now on Steam

Why It Matters

In a gaming landscape often defined by conflict, competition, and chaos, STONEFEATHER stands apart — a reminder that exploration can be its own reward. Every height you reach, every view you uncover, every gust you catch is a victory in itself.

The wind is waiting. The sky is open. And you were born to fly.

Download the demo, spread your wings, and remember how to soar.

The Gold River Project on Steam Early Access Now
Released into Steam Early Access on January 23, 2026, The Gold River Project is an open-world survival adventure that blends the serenity of a Pacific Northwest camping trip with the tension of a high-stakes psychological experiment. Developed by Fairview Games and co-published by Sightline Games, the title has quickly caught the attention of the survival community for its atmospheric world-building and unique approach to seasonal progression.

The Premise: A Vacation Gone Wrong

The game begins with a simple hook: you and up to four friends are chartered via floatplane into a remote nature reserve for a week of hiking and kayaking. However, when your guide fails to return, the realisation sets in—you aren’t just stranded; you’re being studied.

The forest is divided by massive, mysterious “Walls,” and players soon discover they are unwilling participants in a gruelling experiment. To escape, you must uncover the secrets of the “Lab” and deal with the “Settlers”—factions of previous campers who either chose to stay or were broken by the environment.

Key Gameplay Features

The Gold River Project distinguishes itself from typical “craft-and-slash” survival games by focusing on atmosphere and player-driven pacing:
- Dynamic Seasonal Progression: Unlike games where seasons change on a fixed timer, here the environment shifts only when players interact with the world’s infrastructure. Disabling “Substations” lowers the Wall and triggers the transition from the abundance of Summer to the rainy decay of Fall, and finally the brutal, frozen quiet of Winter.
- Survival Mechanics: Players must manage core vitals, including hunger, hydration, fatigue, and body temperature. The game rewards exploration with “badges” that represent learned survival skills.
- Non-Linear Solutions: There is rarely one way out. Players can choose to solve environmental puzzles to disable the Walls, use stealth to bypass security patrols, or engage in direct confrontation with hostile factions.
- Co-op Focus: While fully playable solo, the game is designed for a 4-player cooperative experience, allowing teams to split tasks like scavenging abandoned mines, building a base, or researching new technology.
Technical Specs and Early Reception

Built in Unreal Engine 5, the game is noted for its “stunning” visuals, particularly its dense foliage and lighting. However, as an Early Access title, it does come with demanding system requirements:
- Minimum RAM: 32 GB
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3060 / AMD RX 6800 XT or better
- Storage: 60 GB
Early reviews are currently Mixed, with many players praising the immersive atmosphere and the unique “Wall” mystery, while others note the “jank” and performance optimisation issues typical of a day-one Early Access launch.

Quick Tip: If you’re just starting out, don’t rush to disable the first Substation. Use the eternal Summer to stockpile food and build a sturdy base; once the season shifts to Fall, resources become significantly scarcer.
