Against all odds, we decided to gather together and finish our little game Shadow: A Parable of Sappho. We could have tried to get it ready for this #steamfest but what's the point now? We won't even be able to release a demo, although we'll make a private play-testing...

But that's what it is. In the age of prompts we strive to become better at what we do, experience the process, make mistakes, try stuff. That's what we are and are very proud of it! Our game probably won't sell much but it will be made by us, not freaking AI! And hopefully it won't be the last!🥰

After all these years, I'm finally shipping the KS rewards to our backers, including a physical release of Elementallis, a dream come true 🥹 I'm shipping from my parents home with my family and partner helping me, you can't be more indie 😂 Thanks for your patience, everyone!

YES! 💖 We would like to congratulate the Canadian poet and essayist Anne Carson on winning the Nobel Prize in Literature! Thanks to her, Sappho is more alive today in English. Our game owes Carson a great deal! 🫶

🔥 Elementallis 🔥 ¡Domina los elementos en el juego de acción y aventura inspirado en los clásicos! Emprende un viaje inolvidable en las ediciones Estándar y Coleccionista para #PS5 y #NSW en el Q4 de 2026. ¡Ya en reserva! 🔗 tesuragames.com/juegos/eleme...

Final Fantasy X-2 is a way better game than you remember: the job system, optional bosses, balance, music, minigames and even the story (although I prefer the normal ending) are really really good. One of my favourites, I think.

Elementallis launched over a month ago! 😱 The reception has been great! I've been quiet here because I've been focused on helping players, gathering feedback and fixing bugs. Latest patches are now live on all platforms, so it's a great time to grab it if you haven't already! s.team/a/1304280

We couldn’t get our demo ready in time for the SteamFest. We are not sad about it though, since this is a passion project and we all have our own responsibilities. We didn’t want to rush things so we prefer to have everything well polished. Also, Shadow is a game fully made by humans!😊

Attention!📣 We are looking for the first testers of our upcoming demo! It has taken a while since we have created our own custom engine inside godot and tweaking every single thing (even labels) is a pain! If you want to try it out, let us know (can't guarantee there won't be any bugs though!)❤️

It's amazing how a scene can change by adding a few SFXs, although this time we went a bit further... We decided to record a few of our close friends to bring to life some of the characters! Wishlist here: bit.ly/shadow-steam #pixelart #indiegame #pointandclick

Some of us learnt English by playing games such as Monkey Island, Indiana Jones... In Shadow: A Parable of Sappho you'll be able to change the texts in real time, so you'll have the opportunity to polish your language skills😎 🌬️ Wishlist here: bit.ly/shadow-steam Demo coming very soon! #IndieDev

This is why using AI is so wrong even if it feels harmless. I can't imagine the horror of having your voice stolen, now what do you do? I'm fuming!

Elementallis pays tribute to classic 16-bit adventures, but with more modern tricks. Sometimes, for example, the camera pulls back so you can take in the beaty of the scenery. Don't forget to add Elementallis to your wishlist on Steam! ✍️ s.team/a/1304280
