Haven will be available on December 3
We're pleased to let you know that our new game Haven will be available on December 3. We are also happy to share with you a brand new story trailer "Can love conquer all?" Watch it below:
[previewyoutube="bVmGYPrzOxc;full"]
In Haven play as a couple in love, Yu and Kay, who have left everything they’ve known to escape to an eerie and unstable planet in hopes to stay together. Play both characters at the same time while exploring an authentic and relatable relationship. Synchronise the combat of both characters while battling to protect their lives and the relationship. Glide together through a mysterious landscape, craft, cook, and gather resources to make a cozy home, repair your ship, fight in real-time, and make the ultimate choice about if it’s worth sacrificing everything for love.
Haven allows players a look into the everyday life of Yu and Kay while inviting players to follow their adventures, relax, laugh, and connect to the characters. While Haven is not without fighting, thrills, and unexpected surprises, it does take you on a journey often not explored in games: one of a true adult relationship.
We hope that you will ponder nuanced questions about the meaning of love and freedom and if love is worth sacrificing everything for.
We hope you will enjoy it!

Haven’s opening movie will French kiss your eyes
Today we are happy to unveil the Opening Movie of Haven, the video which will welcome you every time you start the game. The opening was created and directed by Yukio Takatsu - a specialist of anime openings, with the support of Yapiko Animation and on a music by Danger.
Takatsu-san did an incredible job bringing our concepts, world and characters to life. The editing really makes Danger's original music created for the game shine, and vice versa. We hope you will want to dance and twirl like Yu and Kay.

The art style is different from the art in the game of course, but in its essence, it's exactly what we are trying to achieve with the game: a couple of characters who love each other, and with whom we hope you are going to fall in love in turn. An established relationship, that's still evolving, in movement, gliding and twirling at a fast pace, tied by flow and rust, across different planets.
Surprise! Haven demo available for 48 hours!
The demo features the very beginning of the game, to get to know our two lovers stranded on a forgotten planet. But before you start your journey with Yu and Kay, here is some information to keep in mind:
- The demo is beta stage, not final quality
- The demo is single-player only (the final game supports local co-op)
- A controller is recommended. You can review the controls below. (keyboard and mouse controls are very work in progress).
- English, French and Japanese languages (change in Pause menu).
It's the demo some of you already played at PAX West, Tokyo Game Show, Indie X or XO 19 that we are happy to make available for everyone on Steam.
So have fun, and we're looking forward to your feedback on Discord, Twitter or here on Steam.

Share the journey of two lovers, escaped to a lost planet in a desperate attempt to stay together. Glide over the grasslands of a shattered planet, unraveling its mysteries to find a way to settle for good.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Haven is a story-rich adventure, with touching characters with whom you fall in love as you follow them through their challenges and everyday life. But it’s also a (J)RPG with an innovative combat system that lets you play the two characters at the same time, and chain actions using tactics and timing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The colorful and dreamy art direction of the light science fiction world of Haven is coming to life thanks to an original electro soundtrack by Danger, with a range of tracks that will carry players from the energy of a sunny morning to the tension of a fight in the mountains at night.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Haven is a solo game at its core, but at any time, a second player can jump in locally. Players can then share a moment of exploration and progression together.

World domination by cephalopods: Squids Odyssey is on Steam!
In order to achieve world domination by cephalopods and because we always thought that the game belonged here, among other sweet RPGs, we're bringing our classic Squids Odyssey to Steam today.
Different versions of the game have been enjoyed on different platforms by about two million players, but here we are bringing on Steam the deluxe version, with all content ever created and tons of improvements. Plus great controls on PC.
Squids Odyssey follows the adventures of a band of unlikely Squid heroes fighting back to save their underwater kingdom from a murky black ooze.
The game is a pretty unique tactical RPG, with a great deal of content. Don't overlook the game as a family / kids game only, it offers a real challenge and it can get tough. And there's even a completely redesigned Pro Mode for the more hardcore players.
With more than 90 levels, 3 chapters of the story, 15 heroes to recruit, the new version offers more than 15 hours of play, even without the Pro Mode.
Key features from Squids Odyssey:
<*>A challenging tactical RPG: hero classes, stat-boosting helmets, power-ups and the environment add a strategic element to the role-playing gameplay.
<*>Build your party from 15 Squids in 4 classes: shooters, scouts, troopers, and healers, and boost their abilities with 65+ barmy helmets.
<*>Engage in 90+ missions for more than 15 hours of gameplay
<*>An expert Pro Mode, with completely redesigned missions, doubles the challenge and the game length!
<*>Battle your way through Greek citadels, tropical coral reefs, old West inspired towns and Japanese temples to save your underwater world!
<*>Includes all content previously released in the Squids series with tons of improvement and tweaks.
<*>Languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
<*>2 million players have enjoyed the game on the different platforms.
