Nowhere’s release is moving from 30 Sep to 14 Oct It needs more testing, bug fixing and polish before I’m comfortable putting it in your hands. I want your first experience to be a good one so this extra time is the right decision. Thank you for your patience and support. It means a lot to me!

A ghost can be a lot of things. A memory, a daydream, a secret. Grief, anger, guilt. Most times they're just what we want to see. Most times, a ghost is a wish.

A missing persons case leads into a Nordic valley haunted by folklore and something far worse beneath it. Nowhere is a detective horror game built around exploration, atmosphere, and unraveling a mystery that should have stayed buried. #TeaseYaGame #indiegame #HorrorGames
