- Robot Rhapsody - Steam page debuts. - 16 June 2025
Hey everyone,I’m happy to announce that our second RPG, Robot Rhapsody, is now officially listed on Steam! If Beloved Rapture resonated at all, it's my hope you’ll find something meaningful in this new project too—though it explores a very different kind of setting and story structure. I learned a lot over the 5+ years working on Beloved Rapture, and I'm excited to now be able to channel that experience into something totally fresh. The majority of the team members are returning as well - including the pixel art and music composition, so you can expect some of the same "DNA" in the storytelling or artistic choices. :D 🎥 Watch the Debut Trailer: About the Game:Another turn-based RPG, this time being inspired by PS1-era classics. The completely hand-drawn pixel art returns in higher fidelity, along with an dynamic synth OST composed once again by Andreas. Set in a fractured future, a sto…
