Lindwyrm News

This is one of the hardest messages we’ve ever had to write.
The gaming industry can be relentless, and despite our passion and dedication, we have reached a point where we can no longer continue Ghostwhale Games.

Our Early Access launch of Lindwyrm did not generate enough revenue to keep the studio running, and despite all our efforts to reach a broader audience and find support, we were unable to secure a publisher or additional funding.

As a result, we are no longer allowed to sell Lindwyrm. However, for those of you who already own the game, we will continue to release updates to address bugs—and, if circumstances allow, we may even work on more improvements in the future.

We want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you. Your support, your feedback, and your enthusiasm have meant the world to us.
Thank you for being part of this journey.

With heartfelt appreciation,
The Ghostwhale Games Team

Immerse yourself in the dark and mythical world of Lindwyrm with the epic Original Soundtrack! This collection of 14 tracks takes you on an adventure filled with mystery, danger, and triumphant battles. From the mysterious sounds of Coastal Chaos to the haunting atmosphere of Portal to Nowhere, each song brings the dark dungeons and relentless trials of Lindwyrm to life.



Musically, the soundtrack is driven by arpeggios and rich soundscapes. Tracks like Coastal Chaos and Smoldering Endeavours create deep, atmospheric layers with drone elements and subtle guitar textures. Sanctum of the Many Gates builds on vocal harmonies, giving it an almost sacred feel, while To Catch a Nightmare deconstructs itself, deliberately breaking expectations and creating a tense, gripping atmosphere.

The soundtrack blends powerful compositions with contributions from talented musicians: Alexander Jung on guitar, Albert Ihrke on bass, Lucie Reuter, who adds depth with atmospheric vocal layers, and Guy "Paolo Pierre" Müller, who contributed as a supporting composer on Tread Lightly. Together, they create a soundscape that perfectly captures the dark and mystical atmosphere of Lindwyrm.

We’ve also added a short survey to hear your thoughts, your feedback helps us make Lindwyrm even better. Let us know what you think!

Thank you,

Your Ghostwhale Games Team
