Hello everyone! This is a spoiler free look into The Miasma.
One of the key antagonistic elements you'll need to defeat in your voyage through Selfloss, the Miasma can be found in every corner of the world in one form or another and is a key narrative force.
Here's what you can expect from the purple plague that threatens the harmony of life in Selfloss...
Within every mire and fiber, the miasma's corruption spreads. There's not a single drop in the vast ocean that it's confluence will not decay, turning the waters into lethal pools that will quickly erode Kazimir's constitution.
The hostile appearance isn't just for show either - the Miasma expands and grows in a number of contorted ways and forms to put up a more lively threat. These enemies come in a range of shapes and sizes, and are encountered throughout your journey as you fight to rid the Miasma curse.
Not just relegated to a slow, lumbering illness, the Miasma will also ambush and actively prey on you with a menagerie of forms and wide repertoire of attacks wherever you may travel.
What would a disease be without some unnerving exploding pustules! The Miasma has infected the land, causing a variety of infectious areas that Kazimir must traverse.
From dense weeds that halt your progress in the water, to the gooey pits of Miasma gunge, you must beware of your infection levels and cleanse Kazimir of the Miasma infection before the curse becomes too much.
Check out some of the concept illustrations for the Miasma curse, which are featured in collectible scrolls throughout the game! Can you retrieve all the scrolls and learn more about the story of Selfloss in the game? Make sure to keep your eye out for these when Selfloss releases!

We're excited to join Steam's Next Fest with the new Selfloss demo!
Between June 10th - June 17th, you can experience the brand-new demo, which explores just a fraction of the whale-worshipping world that awaits you in Selfloss.
Be sure to check out our scheduled livestream broadcasts in the event, and don't forget to download the demo now and take the role of Kazimir for yourself!
We are excited to announce that we are supporting WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation for World Ocean Day!
The WDC World Ocean Day Sale runs until 15th June, 10am PDT 2024, where you can play the fin-tastic Selfloss demo!
Who is WDC?
WDC, Whale and Dolphin conservation is the leading global charity dedicated to the protection and conservation of whales and dolphins.
Their expert-led teams in the UK, Europe, the Americas, and Australasia work across the whole spectrum of threats, from climate breakdown to accidental entanglements in fishing gear. They bring together, and work hand-in-hand with, businesses, philanthropists, scientists, NGOs, governments and grassroots communities to find solutions to the problems faced by whales and dolphins.
Their aim is to reverse the global decline in whale and dolphin populations by creating safe seas for these majestic creatures.
Entanglement in fishing gear, or ‘bycatch’ as it’s known, is the biggest threat whales and dolphins face. Many hundreds of thousands die in nets or get tangled up in fishing gear every year. As air-breathing mammals like us, when they get trapped in a net, panic can take over and they can sustain terrible injuries before either escaping, or suffocating. It is a massive problem and so WDC are working on some innovative solutions.
What WDC has been doing so far
WDC have been working across the globe to protect whales, dolphins and porpoises from dying in fishing gear:
They’re collaborating with creel fishers in Scotland to trial new types of fishing gear to reduce entanglements of humpback and minke whales.
They’re working with colleagues and partner organisations in the Central Baltic Sea to develop a recovery plan for a critically endangered group of Baltic harbour porpoises.
On the west coast of the United States, critically endangered North Atlantic right whales are facing extinction. Entanglement is a massive threat to their survival, and WDC have been working with fishers to trial alternative gear types. In Hong Kong WDC have been supporting local community efforts and working with fishers to save the remaining 200 Indo-Pacific finless porpoises from extinction due to bycatch.
These projects are saving lives, and they are powered by inspiring people working together for the ocean.
How your support will help this year
By purchasing games from this year’s World Ocean Day sale, you will help WDC continue these vital conservation projects across the globe, as well as enable WDC’s team to embark on new efforts to bring further protections for whales and dolphins, like the Sri Lankan gillnet fisheries project:
Sri Lanka is home to many species of whales, dolphins and porpoises as well as a myriad of other sensitive marine species like sea turtles that are vulnerable to entanglement in gillnets – these are nets that hang in the water like a wall. With funding, WDC hopes to collaborate with Sri Lankan artisanal tuna fisheries that use gillnets to trial new gear types and reduce the impact their fishing has on marine life, while still enabling them to earn their living.
Whales and dolphins are awe-inspiring. They are intelligent beings, vital for the health of the ocean and planet. Together we can still help them recover and flourish and they can help us reconnect with the wild, and repair the damage we have caused.
We’re so excited to announce that the Steam Demo for Selfloss is now live!

Steam Next Fest
Selfloss is participating in Steam's Next Fest June 2024, with the brand-new demo featuring in the event!
We will have two scheduled livestream broadcasts during the event, so keep your eye out for more information on these!
This is Kazimir. A Volvh, a Shaman and a Healer. Kazimir can help cure others, but not himself, which is why he embarks on this journey, to carry out a special ritual, to cure his own Soul wound.
Kazimir needs to find an Orca for his ritual. On the way, he will meet many creatures and people, learning their stories in this whale-worshiping fantasy world.
This is Kazimir's trusty staff, responsible for the majority of gameplay elements, both healing, combat and solving puzzles rely on the staff and it's power.
The staff is controlled with the right stick or mouse, independent of movement, it can be wielded or placed down, useful for puzzles and methodical combat encounters.
Your staff has a limited amount of energy that is replenish-able during battle, from the environment or with items.
Most of the Miasma can’t be defeated with the staff’s magic on it's own. But they will become calcified so that Kazimir can purge them with his sickle.
But if you don’t destroy the calcified form of the Miasm quick enough, it will be restored back to it’s initial form.
Enemies will only calcify once a threshold has been met, so if you encounter more than one enemy at once, you may need to think about your approach.
You can retract the used energy that you've used at any time except for when the target is calcified.
If you don't succeed destroying the calcified form, the light inside the Miasma will crystallize and will be expunged as fish oil crystals around the enemy.
