| Our next game, Ghost on the Shore, launches: Feb 24th! | 2022-02-09 | Hey everyone! It’s been a while since we last shared an update with you. As you can imagine, this is because we’ve been very busy working on our next game, Ghost on the Shore. If you haven’t heard of Ghost on the Shore before, it’s very much a thematic sequel to Marie’s Room; gameplay is pensive, and exploratory; the story is told through voiceover; there are items to pick up and from which you will learn about the world and discover the story. This time, however you have a whole island to explore! 🏕Visit the Ghost on the Shore Steam page.

| News update - Brand new gamestudio! | 2018-09-25 | Hi all! There is a very good reason why it's been so quiet from our end. And we're about to tell you all about it. When Marie’s Room was Greenlit almost two years ago, we never dreamed the release of it more than a year later would be met with so much love. We were blown away by the number of instant players. We loved the positive feedback and praised ourselves lucky that we’d found all of you. Soon we realized that if we ever wanted to start our own studio, this was the time to do it. So, that's what we did. We started a game studio - like Charlie. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31078683/4faf3a049fc8510870 |
| Blog and news update | 2018-07-30 | Hello everyone! It's been a while! First of all, I'd like to thank you all for all the support you've given us, and the game. Thank you so much! I'm aware that a few people have crashes when a video is supposed to play. I've looked into this problem, a few times now, and have spent countless hours to get it reproduced or fixed. But without success. I'm really sorry for this. All I can recommend is you make sure you have all the latest drivers installed of your video card. This was helpful for a handful of people. 'Marie's Room' has been a great ride, and has enabled me, and the team to think about what's next. So stay tuned for that, some gre |
| Marie's Room Soundtrack released! | 2018-04-30 | Hey everyone! We noticed a lot of you really enjoyed the soundtrack of Marie's Room.

We hope you like it and enjoy! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/31078683/63f0652cdf731855e44cb3751b5feac2dfb4739b.png Huge shout out to both Dries Vienne and Simon Alexander. Without their music, the game wouldn't have been the same. Support them all you can on Twitter (Dries - Simon), Facebook, YouTube, Spotify,... Thank you for your continuing support! -Kenny |
| update on the game - fixes | 2018-04-21 | Hey everyone! First of all, thank you so much for the continuing support. We love it! The last couple of days I've been working on a few fixes. The spawning bug in the beginning of the game. Since I can't reproduce this, I'm not entirely sure if this update fixes it. In any case, let me know with a reply to this post if you still experience the issue. (again, just restarting the game does fix this problem). The game doesn't start in fullscreen anymore. Since a few people had problems with menu not reacting to the mouse, flickering,.. and so on. Hope this is a fix for those people. Please make sure to delete your Settings.sav file first, locat |
| The first 24 hours of 'Marie's Room' | 2018-04-14 | Hey everyone! 'Marie's Room' has been out for roughly 24 hours and so far, we've been overwhelmed by the response. Thank you so much, to each and everyone of you, for making this an incredible release! We know about the few bugs, luckily, they aren't really blocking. There's a super small chance that, when you start the game. You spawn into a position, from which you can't move. The easiest fix for this at the moment is to restart the game and try again. But I'm investigating the issue. The journal audio that keeps on playing is another one. Also, looking into it. Trying to get these fixed ASAP. But again, thank you so much for the positive r |
