- Ask us questions for the FRACT OSC 10 year anniversary retrospective! - 27 February 2024
Hello longtime FRACT fans, we'd love your help! FRACT OSC's 10 year anniversary is coming up in April, and we're planning to put together a retrospective on the conception, development and release of FRACT. We intend to be quite candid and open open how this wild thing got made - from the team, tools and techniques employed, to the mistakes, missed opportunities and just where the heck we've been doing for a decade. AND WE WOULD LOVE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY. So if you have anything you'd like us to answer, drop those questions here and we'll see if we can address them in this retrospective. We're not 100% sure what shape this will take, but we're working on it. Thanks for being awesome! Keep you posted

- FRACT OSC Playable on Steam Deck and it's ON SALE! - 24 November 2022
Hello Again! More good news as FRACT OSC has been classified as Playable by the DeckLords at Steam! ALSO, IT'S ON SALE! In our experience it runs quite great on Deck, and we think you'll enjoy FRACT on the go. While our experience doesn't 100% line up with Valve's assessment, we didn't want to hold up the approval process. Three points to note in it's playable status according to Valve: This game sometimes shows mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam-Deck controller icons (the default controller bindings are visible in the menu, just navigate with the stick and use RB to 'click') Entering some text requires manually invoking the on-screen keyboard (this only effects players who need to name/rename synth presets, likely a TINY fraction of players) This game does not exit cleanly and may require you to manually quit via the Steam overlay (we have not seen this behaviour in hours of our own testing…

- Superbrothers X phosfiend collab on JETT: The Far Shore + Given time - 19 October 2022
phosfiend systems is excited to announce our collaboration with Superbrothers on the expansion for their game JETT: The Far Shore. The initial release of JETT: The Far Shore was one of our favorite games of 2021, as it captures an amazing sense of momentum and flow, while also presenting a captivating sci-fi narrative in a unique and rich far away world. When the opportunity came up to work with Superbrothers (co-creators of the awesome Sword & Sworcery EP) on the equally ambitious Given Time expansion, we eagerly hopped on board to help the talented JETT Squad to get this thing to the finish line. Our last-mile contribution was largely a mix of design and systems advising and you should read a bit more about it here. Without going into too much detail we can say that the Given Time expansion delivers on the promise that JETT: The Far Shore established in 2021. The flexibility and openn…
- Steam Deck Compatibility update! - 30 September 2022
SYNTH ANYWHERE! FRACT OSC has not been officially Steam Deck Verified (yet) but we can unofficially say it runs great! Decade old first person synthesizer walking simulators are probably not at the top of Valve's list, and we don't have the ability to push it through the process manually at the moment. That said, based on our testing and a bunch of folks reaching out to us via email, dms and other means, we have every reason to believe it should work just fine on the deck. In fact, it's a pretty ideal platform for the game; just plug in a good set of headphones and get lost in this weird world we've built. We've published a community control scheme that we feel is the best of both worlds, but please let us know if it can be improved. Cheers, Richard

- Humble Weekly Bundle collects seven beautiful games - 4 January 2015
Congratulations on surviving the Steam Winter Sale! (Alternatively: my commiserations on your wounded bank balance, but at least you have a load of new games to play.) If you thought that might be it for cheap PC games until Valve's annual Spring shindig, then boy were you wrong: here were are, just two days later, and Humble have come up trumps again. Their latest Weekly Bundle is all about 'eye candy' games, and to that end they've collected the scrumptious Year Walk, the lovely Lovely Planet, and handsome handmade shmup The Blue Flamingo, with Dust, Mind: Path to Thalamus, and poetic survival game Eidolon thrown in too if you choose to beat the average. Finally, a payment of $10 will secure a copy of musical puzzler FRACT OSC. We don't have reviews of all these games up on the site, but if you're wondering what we thought of Lovely Planet , Dust or FRACT OSC , we were pleased, slight…
