WARSAW, Poland — July 2026 — OhNoo Studio will release Tormentum II, a dark point-and-click adventure set in a surreal world inspired by H. R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński, on July 23, 2026, for Windows, macOS, SteamOS and Linux. The game will be priced at US$19.99, with a 15% launch discount during its first two weeks. A free demo and the launch trailer are available on Steam.

The game is set in a future transformed by technology, not always for the better. David is building a simulation whose inhabitants are as intelligent as humans. Every night, he dreams of a mysterious locked chest and hears a woman's voice calling to him. When an anonymous seller offers him a mysterious coprocessor, elements of the dream begin to appear in his waking life.

After installing the new hardware, David wakes up in a prison on an island in the middle of the sea. He is inside the world he created. With little memory of how he got there, he soon discovers that his creation has layers he never designed and a will he cannot control. Its inhabitants speak of gods: beings who arrive from distant places and vanish just as suddenly.

“When we started work on Tormentum II, the kind of artificial intelligence we imagined still felt like science fiction. Eight years later, AI is part of everyday life. The story now feels closer to reality than we ever expected.”

Łukasz Rutkowski, co-founder of OhNoo Studio

Tormentum II was announced in October 2018 and has been in development for nearly eight years. Its core development team consists of Piotr Ruszkowski and Łukasz Rutkowski, who also created the original Tormentum: Dark Sorrow. The first game's Steam reviews remain more than 90% positive. Tormentum II tells a standalone story, so no knowledge of the original is required, although returning players will recognize the series' atmosphere and approach to point-and-click gameplay.

Buenos Aires, Argentina, 23 July 2026 | Kronos Interactive is excited to announce that Echoes From Ciudadela, their debut indie narrative puzzle game, is out now on Steam. Experience the emotional journey of a son coming to terms with his father's death, and uncovering the secrets of his people’s past.

Uncover Hidden Secrets And Honor Your Father’s Legacy
Dive into this first-person narrative as Katari, an ambitious adventurer following the trail of his deceased father. After uncovering his father’s journal, Katari is led to a sealed mountain known as Ciudadela. In his quest up the mountain, Katari’s journey is obstructed by intricate puzzles inspired by historic inventions. Use your observation skills, experimentation, and ingenuity to connect these ancient machines and solve the mystery of your father’s dying wish.

Puzzles Protecting Centuries Of Civilization
Each puzzle is crafted to challenge your spatial awareness, timing, and creativity. Utilise Katari’s Balearic Sling, a multifunctional tool, to assist throughout your adventure. You can aim, charge, and release shots to hit distant targets, break fragile seals, and ricochet projectiles around corners. As your journey progresses, upgrades will expand the sling’s capabilities, allowing deeper interaction with the environment and the mountain’s forgotten technologies. When puzzles grow more challenging, your father’s journal serves as a crucial guide, offering clues and insights. New entries will be revealed with each puzzle you solve, helping you understand more about this lost civilization. If you’re feeling stuck, a handy ‘hint’ feature is available, as well as dialogue prompts to guide you towards your goal.

Gameplay Features:

• First-Person Narrative Adventure: Experience 4-6 hours of gameplay as you piece together Katari's father's field logs and dig into the lore behind Ciudadela.
• Professional Voice Acting: Voice-acted narration guides the player through their journey and key discoveries. Clean delivery and natural pacing keep the story clear and accessible.
• Pristine Sound Design: Spatial audio, responsive layers, and meticulous foley bring Ciudadela to life. Subtle mechanical cues and environmental ambiences double as readable hints without breaking immersion.

A Story Sewn With Secrets
The Mountain of Ciudadela has been asleep for centuries. Its artifacts and advanced technologies have remained untouched, waiting for you to uncover what came before–and what follows.
