ASYLUM opens its doors on March 6, 2025

Hello, fans of Serena!

Remember that "Waiting for ASYLUM" easter egg in the game? Well, you won't be able to make jokes about it anymore: fate has decided that ASYLUM will launch on March 6, 2025. Yup, mark your calendars, this is not a drill.

Take a look at the gorgeous new trailer to celebrate the news:

Of all the promotional materials we ever released, this is our most realized one, conveying the tones of impending doom and bittersweet melancholy youโ€™ll find in the game, and that were also a staple in Serena.

Do stop by the ASYLUM store page and wishlist if you haven't:

Now stop being so grumpy!

ASYLUM: New gameplay video and livestream!

Hi all! ๐Ÿ‘‹

This is a brief update to show you our new gameplay video. A collection of greatly improved, familiar locations and new ones, focusing on interactions and things to do โ€” including speaking with the mysterious denizens of the asylum! Take a look:

https://youtu.be/2-YgD6FhsmI
The game is working remarkably well. In fact, any stuttering you may notice in the video was our recording software behaving erratically ๐Ÿ™„

But, what you see here is 100% in-game stuff, no processing, no tricks. Asylum is running with a stable 60fps in fullscreen High quality on a 3-year old computer. It's even perfectly playable on Very High quality with extra sharp graphics!

So this is how the game looks and feels, and we hope you like it ๐Ÿ˜Š Just a tiny glimpse of many more locations you'll have to explore!

LIVESTREAM (CONFIRMED)


I'm really sorry about this one. I should've posted more updates here. The promised livestream was postponed due to an incredibly nasty acute bronchitis I got a few weeks ago. It was sheer Hell ๐Ÿคข And all because I didn't get a flu shot ๐Ÿ’‰

Thankfully, I'm back in action and the livestream is totally happening this Friday 22 at 8:00 PM (UTC) on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/Senscape



If you can't make it, don't worry, I'll record everything. It would be great to see you there! I'll be happy to answer all your questions.

And that's it for today, but hopefully see you soon!

Why is ASYLUM taking so long (and also news about Serena!)



Hello there, fans of Serena! We hope you've been enjoying the ASYLUM updates, our huge upcoming adventure that will surely satisfy your craving for more mysteries and horrors. As we describe in our latest post, we tell you why the project has been taking so long, but we also tell you when we expect it to be ready:

https://steamcommunity.com/games/asylum/announcements/detail/1776011874558802996
(spoiler: things are finally looking pretty good!)

As for Serena, we're aware the game is dated and several bugs have surfaced. We honestly never expected to have such a huge audience (well over 2.000.000 downloads now!) and admit we should dedicate it some time, even as a free game.

We are planning to do so โ€” among features such as Steam achievements and new easter eggs, we have several fan translations lined up to be implemented. Currently our priority remains ASYLUM, which we really need to get out of our systems, but we expect to deliver that overdue Serena update later this year. Thank you for understanding!
