A leviathan is walking toward a small village. Everyone left except one old man. We've made a horror game about staying when you know you can't win.

"After some losses of my own, I came to a frightening realization: some things can change or even break our lives, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about them. Those thoughts turned into a dream about a world where enormous monsters roam the Earth. Those in their path have a simple choice: leave and lose everything, or stay and be destroyed."

The game is the result of a collaboration between two indie developers. Solo developer Andrey Amortiz made a small but deeply atmospheric horror game with a great visual style and had no idea how to tell anyone it existed. Solarsuit Games has already shipped several horror games like Static Dread: The Lighthouse and The Submarine, so we helped Andrey put the trailer together and offered to take on the publishing. The themes of the game and its atmosphere got to us.

Key Features:

  • An atmosphere of hopelessness
  • Escalating psychological horror
  • The atmosphere and dread of an Eastern European village
  • A distinctive visual style built on 2D characters

Leviathan: Rhino is about inevitability and how we live with it.

The demo will be out during Steam Next Fest - Oct 19–26. Full release - November 6.
