  • Creatures, Contracts, and Consequence — The Sky Project: Land of Noris Opens Its First Playtest!

    Creatures, Contracts, and Consequence — The Sky Project: Land of Noris Opens Its First Playtest!

    Your bond is forever — or it’s gone forever. Enthariel Games has officially unleashed the first-ever public playtest for their stunning hand-drawn monster collector, The Sky Project: Land of Noris, alongside a brand-new intro trailer, with a Kickstarter campaign set to follow on October 13. For the first time, players can step into this beautiful, perilous world — and every choice will weigh on you.

    Over 200 Noris. One Chance Each.

    The Sky Project isn’t your typical monster-catching adventure. It’s built on bonds that matter: meet the Noris, magical mana-infused creatures you forge pacts with across four vast, vertically stacked planes — Celestia, Noreth, The Depths, and Infernia. With more than 200 unique Noris across six types, including legendary and rare alternate-colour variants, every discovery feels meaningful. Raise them, evolve them, and watch them transform — but protect them fiercely.

    Permadeath Means Every Battle Counts

    Combat unfolds in strategic 3v3 turn-based clashes where your whole team shares a single mana pool — resource management is just as vital as raw power. Every Nori carries two innate abilities plus a third skill that shifts each turn, opening up fresh combos across 300+ discoverable abilities and powerful relics. And here’s the kicker: if a Nori falls, they’re gone for good. No revives, no do-overs — only a grave left behind.

    Explore Celestia Right Now

    The new playtest — live now — delivers several hours of gameplay covering the entire opening plane of Celestia, home to over 60 discoverable Noris, fully voiced cutscenes, an original soundtrack, and the plane’s climactic boss. It’s the first taste of a world shaped by over 2,000 years of history, where you play as Kael, searching for your soulbonded partner Aeris across realms.

    Kickstarter Launches October 13

    Want to help shape the journey? The official Kickstarter campaign goes live October 13, aiming to bring this full-time development to life. You can already sign up to be notified the moment it launches.

    The playtest is live on Steam right now — request access and step into the sky. Just remember: who you save, and who you lose, is entirely up to you.

  • Neighbours, Nightmares, and a Very Good Boy — Welcome to HorrorVale!

    Neighbours, Nightmares, and a Very Good Boy — Welcome to HorrorVale!

    Who needs a quiet life anyway? In HorrorVale, your next-door neighbours are zombies, the mail gets delivered by reanimated monsters, and ghosts keep hiding in your bathroom — and that’s just a regular Tuesday. Developer BatWorks Software and publisher Electric Airship invite you into the friendliest underworld you’ll ever explore, where death is basically just a fashion statement.

    Alice and the Dog Who Won’t Stay Down

    You play as Alice, a young skeleton witch-in-training whose peaceful existence is upended when her beloved zombie dog Scruffy is snatched by a horde of bizarre invaders. Once HorrorVale was a cosy, spooky haven where everyone — living, dead, or somewhere in between — got along. Now strange monsters known as the Creepies have appeared, throwing the Underworld into chaos. Your mission: journey through haunted streets, creepy woods, misty bogs, and forgotten realms to get Scruffy back.

    ?? Don’t Worry — Everyone’s Already Dead

    Here’s the best part: guilt-free adventuring. Every foe you face, every “defeat” you deal — nobody is actually dying. They’re already there. That doesn’t mean the fights are easy, though. HorrorVale serves up classic turn-based RPG combat with a spooktacular twist:

    • Over 50 hours of adventure across four sprawling Acts
    • Recruit 30+ unique party members — each with their own skills, backstories, and weird quirks
    • Shared XP system means no grinding, no dead weight — experiment freely with your squad
    • 60 sidequests that dig deep into the lives and afterlives of HorrorVale’s wonderful weirdos

    Where Every Day Goes Bump in the Night

    The world itself is a character — a vibrant, handcrafted Underworld where:

    • Friendly zombies wave from their porches
    • Ghouls run local shops
    • Ghosts pop up for a chat (or a scare)
    • And the townsfolk are far more scared of you than you are of them

    It’s horror reimagined as heartwarming — equal parts spooky, silly, and sincere.

    Available Now

    HorrorVale launched on PC via Steam in October 2024 and is currently haunting PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch with enhanced visuals, exclusive battles, and smoother performance. Wishlist today — Scruffy won’t rescue himself.

    The gates are open. Your new neighbours are waiting. Will you answer the call?
