@symmetrybreak.bsky.social present Deep Fog Signals, a sci-fi horror puzzle game about managing communications and uncovering the secrets of a remote research expedition.

Promotional artwork for Deep Fog Signals. The game title appears in large, distorted white text with a glitch effect across a dark green interface resembling a surveillance monitor. Behind the title, a pixelated and partially obscured scene shows a figure floating or falling in a murky environment, surrounded by cables and scattered orange sparks. Camera and close-window icons in the corners reinforce the feeling of viewing a corrupted live feed.

Great news from Hamburg: @curvaturegames.bsky.social released its immersive narrative VR adventure "The Amusement". Developed by our Games Lift Alumni and now published by ARTE France! Players take on the role of Samantha as she explores her late father's abandoned amusement park. Congratulations!

Illustrated cover art titled “The Amusement.” The image shows a stylized island emerging from the sea at sunset, rendered in vibrant purples, oranges, and blues. On the island are amusement park elements including a large Ferris wheel at the center, roller coaster tracks, a tall drop-tower ride, and several carnival-like structures. Three large, illustrated human faces float above the island in the sky: one on the left wearing round glasses, one on the right with neatly styled hair and facial hair, and one smaller face integrated into the island’s foreground. Additional fantastical figures and sculptural elements are embedded into the rocky terrain of the island. The sky has sweeping, wave-like graphic patterns and small flying birds near the horizon. The title text “The Amusement” appears in decorative white lettering in the upper right corner.
