A Sneak Peek at ATONE Combat and Music
Hello Midgardians!
ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree, the upcoming title from our friends at Untold Tales and Wildboy Studios, launches in just 10 short days, so we wanted to provide a nice snippet of combat and a preview of the incredible soundtrack that awaits you.
FIGHT TO THE BEAT
Combat is all about surviving to the end of the song. Let's have a quick look at a battle against the Ice King in Hard Mode.
Keep focused and stick to the rhythm and you'll land a strike. But make too many mistakes and it'll cost you!
If you find yourself struggling or unable to vanquish your enemies, there's always Normal Moe which makes the notes appear on 2 rails only. There is also Story Mode, where combat is entirely winnable, every time, allowing you to focus on the incredible narrative.
All fights can then be replayed in the Arena Mode for those wanting that perfect score or certain trophies.
A TASTE OF THE TUNES
We've also got a little sneak peak at the amazing in-game OST, composed by the talented James Shuar also know in the electronica scene as Luminist, as well as contributions from composer Andrew Prahlow (The Outer Wilds).
Have a listen to "Sons of Fenrir" and transport yourself to the wilds of ATONE.
Thanks for reading!

Inspired by Norse mythology, this hand-drawn, story-driven, rhythm combat RPG blends narrative, exploration, and music all into one special journey. Meet and converse with a slew of diverse characters, explore a haunting take on Midgard and make choices that influence your story and ending.
We have improved the Chinese language implementation in the game for better accuracy. Enjoy!

ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree joins Untold Tales
Hey everyone!
Three years ago, we launched our first ever title as a studio with ATONE: Heart of the Elder Tree. It was received with critical acclaim and won several awards, and we were so humbled by all the support and love for the unique Norse world we created.
Now, we have several announcements to share with you all!
New Publisher
First up, we're happy to share that we have an official publisher: Untold Tales! They've been a great partner and will support us in all efforts to bring our game to you as smoothly as possible. So go on and give them a follow! ->
Release Window
Second, we're excited to confirm that we're targeting launch in early 2023. We understand that it's not an exact date, but game development can fluctuate wildly and we don't want to promise something only to disappoint! AND, we'll also be launching on Nintendo Switch, so you can find us there if that's more your style.
Next Fest Demo Available Now
Last but certainly not least, we have a free demo for you to try as part of Next Fest! That's right, it's available now. So keep that axe sharp, you'll need it! And when you're done playing, come back and give us your thoughts. We'd love to hear them!
If you enjoyed what you played, please wishlist and spread the word, as that helps immensely to increase awareness. Be sure to follow our social channels below for all news and future updates on ATONE.
Our collection of story-loving games continues to grow. We are excited to share that we've added three additional titles to the Untold Tales portfolio with Mythic Ocean, Lifeslide, and Dr Livingstone, I Presume?!
https://youtu.be/dYh9dC0CAJ4
If you could decide the evolutionary fate of the entire ocean, what choices would you make? Mythic Ocean is a narrative exploration about meeting the gods who rule beneath the waves and guiding (or misguiding) them in their choices. An engaging choice driven game with multiple outcomes, an open-world feel and relaxed pace. Every interaction you make with a character changes the course of the world and story and the , so choose wisely. Or entertainingly. In fact, try both, since this story has tons of replayability.
In Dr Livingstone, I Presume? A Reversed Escape Room, the world-renowned 19th Century explorer Dr David Livingston has sent you - his most trusted friend - a cryptic message. Something is wrong but the details are scare. It’s now up to you to venture to his mysterious and eccentric mansion to uncover the truth of what has happened. Solve a mix of intricate and diverse puzzles as you venture deeper and deeper into the rooms of the mansion. Along the way, uncover historical facts and story built around real events and people but with a few creative twists.
Lifeslide is a relaxing but also challenging adventure about guiding your paper airplane through a wonderous world of sights and obstacles. Simple controls but intricate physics mean you’ll need to master the art of gathering and preserve your momentum, using the terrain to your advantage and reacting in time. All around you in the world is the story of life, and the journey we all take through it. Additional competitive and zen modes mean there is a way for everyone.
Wishlisting and following these really helps us and the developers out!
Be sure to drop us a comment below if you've played any of the titles listed above.
