We've chosen to bundle with Between Two Worlds for Steam's Spring Sale! Between Two Worlds is a cracking adult fantasy epic, and it's 40% off - plus another 15% off if you already own Ravager.



What will you do when the boundary between fantasy and reality collapses?



You and your friends are playing a simple tabletop game, adventuring in the fantasy world of Euchora. But strange things start happening to you. An unknown woman is visiting you in the night. Your friends have started to behave in strange, unusual ways. What is going on?



This game is a heavily story based Adult Visual Novel, in which you take on the role of the hero. Or, is it the anti hero? That is up to you! Through your choices in the game, you will either save the day, and stand proudly with those you love, or you will rule the darkness, with them kneeling at your feet. Oh, and maybe have a little fun with them along the way!



Experience an expansive world, built around a tabletop gaming experience. Meet new allies, fight new enemies. Can you resist the pull that is threatening to drag you down into the unknown depths?



Enjoy the music, sound effects, and atmosphere that has been built into the surroundings. Wind blowing through the trees. Birdsong as you travel. Crickets in the night. Foggy mornings, beautiful forests, and cursed lands await you.

The hard work of our coders has paid off, and Ravager is now officially verified for Steam Deck! Users of the totally-not-just-for-playing-porn-in-bed console can enjoy a silky smooth experience from start to finish, And that also applies to people using gamepads or keyboard-only, for whatever reason.

To celebrate this most beautiful of festivals, we have a whopping 25% discount on Ravager! And we've got a thumping new trailer, and a fresh lick of paint across our store page, to celebrate.

This stands to be our final year of development - so if you'd like to dip your talons into the world of Ravager ahead of the crowd, I encourage you to do so now. Save yourself some precious golds.

Ravager is in its final year of development, and we're all completely dedicated to its conclusion. What happens after that?

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2732680/Permission_to_Dock/

I'd like to present Permission to Dock, a rambunctious science-fiction journey across the stars.
You’ll be on a mission to meet, greet, and mate a wondrous array of exotic and extraordinary lifeforms from across the galaxy. Aliens, machine intelligences, extradimensional entities, and even stranger things are out there – and they’re as curious about humanity as you are about them.

[h2]The Story So Far[/h2]

In the 23rd century, humanity has conquered disease, infirmity, poverty, hunger, and even ageing. But the United Earth Authority is yet to conquer the human spirit – not that they haven’t tried.

Utopia has come at a price. The UEA has stifled humanity’s passions, even as it has delivered unprecedented prosperity. Its citizens live anodyne lives that are increasingly empty of surprise and adventure. The sudden discovery of intelligent alien life, once so fervently hoped for, seemed like it might finally break the spell.

Then came the Whoopsie War. First contact has never been so embarrassing.

In the (thoroughly humbling) aftermath, the UEA turned inward. It legislated for isolation and demanded purity. Its pioneering First Contact Vessels were decommissioned, their crews finding humble work as cargo haulers and glorified taxi operators.

But for the crew of the New Horizons, a seemingly mundane contract to escort a UEA politician ignites a spark – one that threatens to send the old order up in flames.

The old order does not appreciate this. They will oppose you, even as your exploits fan the flames of passions long thought extinguished. But if they want to stop you, they’re going to have to find you first.

And the galaxy is a very big place.

[h2]Meet the Crew[/h2]

You won’t be setting out on your journey of discovery alone. As Captain of the FCV New Horizons, your team will be behind you every step of the way.

Executive Officer Gabriel Ryder will have your back in any situation. Especially those involving “first contact”, if you know what he means. Or she – it changes sometimes. Actually, it changes a lot. Don’t worry about it.

Medical Officer Caitlin Montague is a prematurely-retired doctor with a minor in xenobiology, and a major interest in the onboard pharmaceutical synthesiser. She will make sure you are fully briefed, and have all the anatomical parts you might need, for whatever the aliens might throw at you.

Science Officer Apollo Jacobs isn’t about to let his lack of formal qualifications get in the way of his new appointment. Getting inadvertently shanghaied by fugitives fleeing the solar system is the best thing that’s ever happened to him – because that’s exactly where all the hot alien waifus are to be found.

Penetrator Series 7 Advanced Expert System “Penny” was once a military-grade shipboard AI. Now she supports you in your mission to penetrate alien life in a manner unanticipated by her original programmers. And she will absolutely, positively, make sure you succeed, whether you like it or not.

[h2]Features[/h2]

- Some as-yet-undetermined number of words. But probably a lot, let’s be honest.
- Hand drawn visuals, animated in hypnotic Live2D.
- A non-linear adventure composed of many self-contained “contact missions”, all bound together by an overarching story about humanity searching to rediscover its sense of wonder.
- The ability to play as a male or female Captain. And change freely between missions, so don’t hesitate to experiment! Some aliens may be looking for something specific, while other missions will vary based on your choice.
- No FOMO: you can freely replay any completed mission in the comfort of your ship’s very own holosuite. Explore what might have been, or just take a walk down memory lane.
- A fully dynamic synthwave soundtrack to accompany the action.
- Achievements, for the dopamine enjoyers out there.
- Weird alien sex, probably.

[h2]Sign Me Up![/h2]

Permission to Dock will be available through Steam, and we aim to have a demo ready shortly after Ravager’s main plotline is finished. You can become one of the first people to play it and wishlist it here.
