London based games studio. We made King of the Castle and made Occlude:

Some screenshots from Over the Alps. Which Swiss holiday location suits you best?
Six years ago a Choices Matter game called Over the Alps released. Stave was formed to make it, it became an Apple Arcade launch title, and it won a few awards. Part of that team went on to Tributary, and when Stave closed we couldn't just let it vanish. So... Re-introducing, OVER THE ALPS! 🧵
Remy (www.twitch.tv/pr1nc3_r3my) has made Prince Glorb on Tomodachi Life and it is most wonderful, beautiful thing ever. Behold HIM
Big shout out to the 2.2% of players who got the "Go West" achievement in Occlude and the 0.4% of players with "Making Notes" in King of the Castle. My question is - Does anyone have both?
I have a printed copy of this review and keep it under my pillow
Have you checked out Boxroom yet? It's a digital space for all your Steam games and it's extremely cool. It's also got a few sneaky Occlude references in there... Give it a wishlist here: store.steampowered.com/app/4335460/...
Maffman22 has been creating a family tree of his King of the Castle monarchs. It looks very normal and not complicated at all. Why not give him a sub at www.twitch.tv/maffman22, or join in the game to add yourself to the madness?
One continuous game of King of the Castle has been at NärCon in Linköping, Sweden, for the past 3 years! It's at the biggest nerd and pop culture con in northern Europe - and it's on again later this year, 23-26 July, with KOTC games played in person every day! Check it out: en.narcon.se
The War Of The Kings, a special KOTC event, is running at 1PM EST with four fantastic streamers. Who will you join? The proud Counts: twitch.tv/thriftytokens The zealous Grandees: twitch.tv/2slow2serioustv The strong Chiefs: twitch.tv/biowolf42 The dastardly King: twitch.tv/mrkaji
Thanks to Steam Replay, you really can guess what we've been playing a lot of this year...
Fun, top secret King of the Castle fact - We tried parallax backgrounds for the events before abandoning them. Meeting someone who works on Total War reminded me of this experiment.
Bizarrely, I just came across the animation reference video for coins flipping in Occlude. I say “video” because there’s an entire folder of these. The things you do for games
Happy Guy Fawkes Night to those of us in the UK. We hope all your Barons roll gunpowder schemes and proceed to blow you up.
Steam Scream Fest has begun! And with it, Occlude is 20% off. It's a game with immaculate vibes - one reviewer said it's like "getting a coffee enema in a bookshop" So if you're into... that, and also want to try our free update with 24 new puzzles, go here: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...
We’ve bashed out two high speed hotfixes to our Cardinals update today - so now’s the perfect time to jump in. And with more than 4 times the content than launch? You can’t say we’re not generous with our cursed offerings. Go check it out: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...
Our massive update to Occlude in the Cardinals is here! We've added 24 new puzzles to the game from 7 at launch, new Achievements, quality of life updates and plenty more. Oh, and did we mention it's totally free? Read more here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/354... #indiegames
We've just released our penultimate lore drop for Occlude on the Discord! This one talks about the difference between Obscurants and Magicians, and how the Castle uses them to suppress information. Curious? Hope over to the lore-drops channel to read it in full: discord.gg/v9yX3up39g
The reaction to the bugfix in King of the Castle has been genuinely overwhelming. The last time we got this many positive reviews was ten months ago - madness! We're releasing a lore drop on Arald the Great as a thank you in our Discord. Much love to you all.
Our new puzzles for the Cardinals update will be even more difficult, just to cause you personally pain and sorrow. It's what we do best. If you haven't picked up a copy of Occlude yet, what are you waiting for? The end of the world? If so, even more reason to get it... bsky.app/profile/greg...
We're extremely pleased to announce the first update to King of the Castle since September 2023 is now out. Say hello to King of the Castle v1.3 "Morgrim"! This fixes the issues with Twitch Mode and resolves a ton of bugs. Go read the full patch notes here: store.steampowered.com/news/app/183...
We (finally) have Steam Trading Card for Occlude! We've also got emoticons and profile backgrounds too. Good luck collecting them all! Or turning them into gems. Or printing them out and eating them, one by one, under a dank, wet bridge in Prague at midnight. Whatever you like.
How many of the Found Objects have you found in Occlude? And have any of you noticed that the Found Object on the Steam page is redacted, compared to the one in the game?
We've been hard at work on another small update, along with getting our Steam Trading Cards/Badges approved and a bigger, more secret thing. We'll hopefully have some more exciting news for you all next week! In the meantime, I hope you have a wonderful weekend full of regrets and reshuffles.
There's nothing like the Punched Card for making you sound like you've lost your marbles. It's either that or @mrkaji.bsky.social has just forgotten how to count. Pretty fifty fifty on what's more likely.
We’re on an absolutely crazy 89% Positive on Steam. Considering puzzle games tend to get lower average reviews we absolutely did not expect this. If you’d like to help us get to 90%, well, we’re not going to stop you: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...
Here's what Occlude looked like when we first started working on it, roughly five months ago. Thanks to a lot of hard work, extremely talented people and some great tech, it's a hell of a lot more impressive now. Go see for yourself: store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/... #gamedev
Over 1,500 have stepped through the door in the rain in the first 24 hours of Occlude being out. You too can join them. All you need is your wits, a bit of time and a few regrets. store.steampowered.com/app/3547010/...
