A Space For The Unbound Wins Japan Future Award at Tokyo Game Awards 2022!
Hello, Space Divers!
We are so happy to announce that A Space For The Unbound is one of the winners of the Future Division for upcoming games!
During Tokyo Game Show 2022, we also have the opportunity to participate in the Japan Game Awards 2022, a very prestigious award for games in Japan. The award is organized by The Computer Entertainment Association of Japan, where The Future Division is awarded for future game releases from Japanese and international developers alike.
It's an honor that we can stand together for an award with other well-known Japanese developers. We can't express how we feel knowing that there are many people from Japan eagerly waiting for A Space For The Unbound. It is unexpected that, as an indie game, we stood out among other major game titles from famous publishers.
The list of Future Division awarded games with the award given based on the Japanese alphabet order of the games' Japanese titles.
In the past few years, we have gone through a long process of making the game and promised to deliver the best experience for everyone. We hope everyone will enjoy A Space For The Unbound when it's released in the not-so-far future. Also, we are grateful to our friends at Chorus Worldwide for supporting us during Tokyo Game Show 2022.
Shout out to our Chorus Worldwide friends who represented our participation in Japan Game Awards this year!
We truly thank everyone who has supported the game so far, and please look forward to our next news update.
Stay safe and healthy, friends!
Mojiken and Toge Productions team.

Regarding the Release of A Space for the Unbound
Dear space divers,
We are sad to announce that we will be delaying the release of A Space For The Unbound until further notice.
Earlier this year we discovered that PQube Games, a UK-based publisher that we signed for the console publishing of A Space For The Unbound for western regions had done certain things which have left us feeling manipulated and exploited, and so we have had to terminate our agreement with them.
At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in August 2020, PQube Games used our position and heritage as developers from Indonesia to obtain a diversity fund from a well known console platform. The diversity fund was a grant fund intended to help underrepresented game developers, especially during the pandemic. However, instead of giving those funds to the developers as the grant was intended, PQube Games intentionally withheld information about the grant and used it as a leverage for their own commercial gain. Rather than paying the grant money to us, PQube Games hid the facts about the grant’s award and added it as a recoupable minimum guarantee and then used it to negotiate the increase of their revenue share. We have only uncovered the true amount of these funds and their intended purposes in March 2022.
We are absolutely heartbroken that a party we worked with would do this and a project we have worked on for 7 years has been taken advantage of in such a way. Since the uncovering of this issue, we clearly cannot trust PQube Games nor continue to work together for the release of A Space For The Unbound as PQube Games has fallen considerably short not only of reasonable decency, but also of their obligations to us due to these predatory practices.
We have to make a stand against exploitative publishers and speak up about this to stop things like this from happening again in the future. Thus, we are also announcing that we have terminated our contract with PQube Games.
As of this moment, PQube Games is still refusing to hand over publishing control on console platforms back to us. It is with a heavy heart that we must hold back the release of A Space For The Unbound so that we can make new arrangements and ensure that it is published as intended and in a way that is consistent with our and our community’s values.
Signed, Toge Productions and Mojiken Studio

A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories is Available and Free to Read!
Hello, Space Divers!
We have a great story to tell as we are counting down to the release of A Space for The Unbound later this year. A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories is a webcomic series, that tells the story of Niken, the teacher of our protagonist. You will also encounter her in the game with many other characters mentioned in the webcomic!
A Space for The Unbound: Broken Memories Synopsis Niken is an ordinary math teacher who lives in unordinary circumstances. She keeps getting inexplicable visions during her walking and sleeping. She seems to have a different perception of the world from the people around her, preventing her from truly connecting with others. In her deep loneliness, she met another person who shared her pain.
Below are the preview cuts from the first chapter of A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories. You can read the entire chapter here: Chapter 1
A Space for the Unbound: Broken Memories is a 12-chapter webcomic series. A new chapter will be released every week for a few months. You can read them in English (ENG) and Bahasa (IDN).
The story took place in Loka City, a rural Indonesian city set in the 90s of A Space for the Unbound universe. Please familiarize yourself with the town before you fully explore it in the game. The story involves cultural elements unique to Indonesia, which might intrigue you as the player. Also, many distinctive identities of the world will make you nostalgic, even though you have never been there before.
Just a few months left before we release A Space for the Unbound! We are already entering the final development stage, doing some polishing so you can enjoy the game flawlessly. Thank you for all of your support all these years!
