Once Upon a Jester - a theatrical, musical adventure is coming to PC in 2022!

Hey everyone!

We are very glad to announce Once Upon a Jester - a new diamond in our publishing lineup!

Once Upon a Jester is being developed by Bonte Avond - a game studio made up of 4 musicians. They really like going with first ideas and putting lots of homemade indie music in their games. Always trying to be conscious of diversity in their games a- there’s a lot of jokes in Bonte Avond’s games, but never at anyone's expense. You may heard of them because of their previous game - Everybody Wham Wham.

Check out our announcement trailer:


The game is a story about best friends Sok & Jester planning a mischievous scheme to steal the Royal Diamond! To complete their master plan, they must start an improv theatre show and outperform every other act - including their rivals, Hofnar & Bok. Only becoming the best show in the kingdom will get them invited to the Royal Theatrical Spectacle in the Royal Palace, where the king keeps his precious gem.



They embark on a grand adventure across a fantasy kingdom, meeting tons of wacky characters, performing improvised shows and singing their hearts out. Along the way, they unintentionally discover the freedom and joy of musical theatre. Will the pair change their wicked ways or do whatever it takes to get rich?





Once Upon a Jester is coming soon on PCs and other platforms. Find out more about the game and stay updated by adding it to your Steam wishlist:

Language Update + 50% discount!

Hello there BUTCHER fans!

It's been quite some time since the last update, so we decided to let you know about 2 things that have been recently going on with BUTCHER.



Firstly - the game is now being handled by Crunching Koalas, a publishing studio responsible for porting and bringing BUTCHER to consoles. The guys at Transhuman Design were pretty happy about our work, so they decided to trust us even more and hand the PC version of the game over to us. Not much will change, maybe besides you seeing BUTCHER more often, but if you ever wanted to contact us about the game, feel free to:


Secondly - we decided to update the game and add some new languages! Our fast-paced blood-soaked love letter to the classics of the genre is now available in:
  • German
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Portuguese

To celebrate the update, we also decided to cut the price of the game in half, for the next 7 days, so don't hesitate and get it right now!

Cheers,
Crunching Koalas

CARRION - a new game from the creators of BUTCHER

So grab it now and make humans beg for death during your usual bus ride! Just... play it with your headphones on.

Demo released - prepare for FREE BUTCHERing!



The full version's campaign has been enhanced and the free demo - released!



Like promised before, we've added a pack of 3 levels to enhance the beginning of the game.

Those levels will be released for free as a standalone Demo (for those, who are still undecided).

https://store.steampowered.com/app/629260/

All 3 levels happen on the Mothership and take place just before the game intro. We've put some details here and there that might help you reveal what Mothership and her spawns really are.



Most of all, just enjoy the atmosphere and challenge. And don't forget to try out the level editor!

How to start the new level pack


If you already own BUTCHER and have some progress going on, we recommend starting the campaign in another (temporary) save slot. Alternatively, you can just play the levels one-by-one from the level browser.

If you don't own BUTCHER, you can download the free Demo and enjoy ripping and tearing your targets apart (slowly enough to make sure they experience their last moments to the fullest).

If you like the game and decide to support us, you have a chance to buy it for 50% of the regular price (a week-long sale is still running!) :butcherchainsaw:

Have fun!
