This celebration of German indie developers showcases some of the finest indie games from Germany to a global audience. As part of the event, Lacuna is available at a 80% discount. Don't miss this chance to explore this captivating adventure we created and support indie devs from Germany!
If you played Lacuna, you may remember seeing them around the streets of Ghara. Although it’s never mentioned in the game (as far as we remember), the band is called Romp House.
To celebrate Lacuna’s imminent three-year release anniversary, we have a little gift for your: Their five in-game songs from the Lacuna OST were just released for free online! You can find the Romp House mini album on Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and SoundCloud among other places.
Our composer Julian originally wrote this music for fun with a friend to dip his toes into Synthwave music. This happened in parallel to developing Lacuna, without intending to ever combine the two. However, when the project with his friend fizzled out, he decided to use a handful of tracks (there are quite a few more!) inside the game.
We hope you like the music! If you do, give Julian a follow on these platforms and check out the chill remix Lacuna Lo-Fi while you're there.
PS: In case you missed it, we just updated Between Horizons, adding Japanese and remappable keys. The game is 20% off right now! 🚀
From one detective to another!
Fellow detectives,
It is done! We are incredibly thankful for all the positive feedback we received for our first game Lacuna, and we really hope that Between Horizons can live up to your expectations.
We learned a lot ever since Lacuna was released and did our best to apply all these lessons to our new game, providing you with enhanced and more unique detective gameplay. If you played Lacuna, don't expect the core gameplay loop to be the same -- you might be in for some surprises!
Since we're big sci-fi fans (The Expanse, anyone?), we also wanted to create a detective game with an even higher focus on the sci-fi theme. And thus, the idea for Between Horizons was born.
Here's the release trailer:
We can't wait to hear your thoughts about Between Horizons. No matter what comes next, we are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and love for the detective game genre.
Fellow detectives and those who are about to become one,
If you're still not convinced to save the universe in Lacuna, now is the time to get your hands on it. Lacuna is currently available at a discounted price. And in case you need some music to buy Lacuna to, go and check out the free Lo-fi version of a delicate selection of the game's original tracks.
Or let yourself be convinced by the free prologue that's available here on Steam:
We can't wait to have you on board of the sci-fi and noir detective-train.
See you soon,
New Project releases soon
Fellow detectives,
we are thrilled to announce that our sci-fi detective adventure Between Horizons will launch on March 25th, 2024!

Your support means a lot to us. THANK YOU!
Oh, and in case you missed it: go and check out the updated demo of our new game Between Horizons - and don't forget to wishlist.
You may have noticed that we haven't shared much about ourselves or our work over the last year or so. Time to bring you up to speed!
🎧 LACUNA LO-FI 🎧
First off, we want to thank you all for the very positive reception of Lacuna Lo-Fi! We really appreciate the positive reviews and comments. The album recently surpassed 1.000 YouTube views and has racked up a few thousand additional plays across streaming platforms.
In case you don't know what we're talking about: To celebrate Lacuna's second anniversary, we released a free mini album titled Lacuna Lo-Fi, a chill remix of select tracks from the Lacuna soundtrack. You can find it on Steam, YouTube, and most streaming platforms!
🎻 LACUNA IN CONCERT 🎻
Earlier this summer, a medley of the Lacuna soundtrack was featured in a video game soundtrack concert at Saarländisches Staatstheater. From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you so much, Saarländisches Staatsorchester, Yannick Süß from HippoScore, and everybody else who helped make this possible! A full recording of the concert will air September 27 on Saarländischer Rundfunk. Check our Twitter or Instagram for a tiny sneak peek!
🎮 NEW BETWEEN HORIZONS DEMO AT GAMESCOM 🎮
In spring of this year, we released a demo of our upcoming sci-fi detective adventure Between Horizons. Despite its favorable reception, we pulled it again about three months later for a number of reasons. If you haven't heard already, a completely revamped demo is playable at gamescom right now! You can find it in two places in Hall 10.2: the Indie Arena Booth as well as the GameUp!/saaris booth (E020g - D021g). Come check it out!
(Don't fret if you can't make it, the new demo is coming to Steam a little later.)
🩸 UNBURIED KICKSTARTER 🩸
We recently announced our plan to join forces with legendary pixel artist 6VCR to delve into the genre of survival horror together. We are extremely excited about this project, but it has no clear timeline right now as it massively depends on the response to the upcoming crowdfunding campaign. If you want to see it come to life, please follow the campaign or sign up for a one-time e-mail and help us spread the word!
🏢 NEW OFFICE 🏢
Believe it or not, we recently moved for the fourth time in less than four years. We swear this is the last time for a while now, as the new location is everything we could ask for. It's a very central place in Saarbrücken and just two floors underneath some good indie friends that moved in with us. Check out our break room!
❓ THE FUTURE ❓
These are the major developments of the past few months that we can speak on for now. We still don't know when exactly Between Horizons will be released, but we continue to aim for late 2023.
As for our plans beyond that, we currently have multiple projects lined up that may (or may not) be realized sequentially or concurrently starting this winter. We had more concrete plans already, but the federal games funding program being cut over night threw a massive wrench in the works.
We hope you enjoy the new demo at gamescom. If you can't make it there, stay tuned for the demo release on Steam this fall!
Best, The DigiTales team
