We have your emails listed and will be contacting you in a matter of days. Those who did not submit their email we cannot contact hence will not get a prize, if you are not contacted in the next few days it means that you probably either missed the email bit, wrote the wrong email or chose to omit it.

Halloween Survey Event
Hi Everyone!
We've decided to join in on the Halloween fun and also have an event! We have some questions we've been really wanting to ask the community about point-and-click adventure games!
Fill in this survey below and the first 50 to completely fill in the survey will get a free copy of Silver Creek Falls Chapter 2:
Good news, everything is going smoothly and despite the freaky weather we're having in Sydney, it looks like we'll have no problems launching Chapter 2 on time! The game is done and tested and we're just adding a little polish here and there to make sure the game runs as smoothly as possible for everyone!
Who knows, if there is time I may even be able to write a few additional tracks to put in the OST for everyone!
Now a little thing about this game, at the end we couldn't help it and really put in a lot more references to Silver Creek Falls than we initially intended. It's just that we really want to start wrapping up and answering questions from that trilogy and this is really the best place to do so. If you still haven't played the Silver Creek Falls Trilogy we really recommend that you do first before playing this Chapter. You will still be fine without out, it's just that the characters will allude quite often to events from Silver Creek Falls and I guess it will just feel like backstory to those of you who haven't experienced Silver Creek Falls yet.
Included below is the link to Chapter 1 to get you started on the adventure. It's also free so why not check it out:
As always, keep being awesome! We look forward to seeing you at the new chapter in TWO DAYS!

The Walsingham Files: Chapter 2 Coming Soon Page + Dev Blog
Hey everyone!
Good news, our store page for "The Walsingham Files: Chapter 2" has been approved! Please check it out to see some tantalising screenshots and see our dramatic trailer:
So you can get an announcement when it launches make sure that you add it onto your wishlist!
Ok, on to the devblog:
So, the game is essentially about 95% done by my reckoning. At this point we're just polishing one last puzzle, fixing some of the graphical assets and adding some flavour text to help enrichen the world. The world and maps are essentially fully designed and fleshed out, all the characters have been made and the story is set in stone. I am composing some additional tracks for the game as this one is a lot bigger in scope than chapter one and really needs a wider variety of cues.
In terms of size, I'd say it's similar to Silver Creek Falls: Chapter 2, though this one is a lot more refined and has less legwork than SCF2, so I'd definitely say there is more content. This one also will include some more references to Silver Creek Falls and begins to answer a lot of the unanswered questions left in the air from that series, If you haven't yet, I really recommend you play the Silver Creek Falls Trilogy before playing the Walsingham Files Chapter 2, as you really will get a lot more out of it. Of course, you can still play it without having have played the SCF trilogy, and the references will seem more part of a bigger world than something you may have specifically experienced. That's one of the cool things I'm finding out writing this game, for a lot of my previous games I sort of had to make up lore to enrichen the characters and give them more backstory and personality, but now I'm finding that since I am beginning to answer those questions from SCF a lot of those things HAVE become the lore, so in many ways one can be fine without playing SCF first, but having experienced those moments of "Remember when we did this" is a lot more exciting, in my opinion.
Anyway, I'll leave you with that link to check out. Please do add yourselves tot he wishlist as it seriously helps us to have a big wishlist for launch day!
Keep Being Awesome!

The Walsingham Files: Chapter 2 Announcement
Hi everyone!
Good news! We are happy to announce that the âWalsingham Files: Chapter 2â is well into production and may even come out earlier than we said it would in one of our previous posts. Officially, we did initially expect it to come out in fall of this year, but due to increased work in the game consulting branch of our business, and a move of city, we ended up having to delay the release. There are more details on all this on this post here:
However, we did work on the Walsingham Project in between our other jobs and were able to advance things steadily to the point where we feel that by giving it our undivided attention, we would be able to launch it before Christmas. We actually have been giving it all our time since mid-October and if everything goes as planned, we may indeed hit this target and may be able to launch Chapter 2 before Christmas. Nice little present for you guys for being so awesome and giving us so much support.
On that subject, we have something else that weâd like to announce too. For the past two years weâve been doing a lot of work in the video game consulting world, this has probably shown in the fact that we havenât released a lot of games in those two years. While that has been very rewarding in its own way, we would also like to go back to our roots and go back to developing point-and-click mystery adventures like âSilver Creek Fallsâ and âThe Walsingham Filesâ. For this reason, weâve decided to scale back on consulting a bit and do more games like that. To do this we would need a little bit of your support as we would take an initial income hit as we would be consulting a bit less. So, weâve decided to finally launch our Patreon page to make supporting us a lot easier for those of you that can give a little more and also would like to be more involved in the production process. Patreons will receive exclusive access to things like weekly podcasts, tutorial videos and even regular google hangouts with me so we can all talk about things like the videogame industry and whatever the room feels like talking about. By doing this, we may be able to ensure regular releases of our mystery adventure games (every 4 months maybe). Please check out our Patreon page here and if you can help out and want to support us a little, we would really appreciate it:
