Set sail: Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing is released on Steam!

The big day has finally arrived: Our second game sees the light of day and is available NOW on Steam. We are incredibly proud, excited to see how you like it - and very, very tired. :D

Nevertheless, our release party with the whole team is about to start on Discord! From 17:30 (UTC+1) we will celebrate ourselves, play a part of the game and then join a few streamers who will stream Inspector Schmidt - The Ebbing live on Twitch. We would love to have you join us!

This way to the release party!

Of course, we'd be even happier if you gave the game a go yourself and left us a review on Steam. Our bug channels on Discord and Steam are also open and await your reports. As always, we try to fix bugs as quickly as possible and are very grateful for your feedback.

Our roadmap for the following months:

  • Controller Support
  • Steamdeck Support
  • Improvement of the Beta Language Versions
  • Porting for XBox
  • Porting für PS 5
  • Platt voice overs
  • Upgrade to Unreal 5.5



But for now: Cast off, off to Havstedt!

This way to the release party

By the way, if you haven't wishlisted the game yet, now is the perfect time. The Steam algorithm pushes games that have a lot going on on the Steam page in the week before release.

Feel free to tell your friends about us - we appreciate any support!
