Hello friend!
How are you? We hope you’ve been doing well! Fall is here for us in the Northern Hemisphere, which means crunchy red, brown, and orange leaves; cozy sweaters; and multiple people taking time off at the end of this month to play Dragon Age: The Veilguard. 👀
For this first newsletter, we’re starting with a bang!! Our Ghibli-inspired action-adventure game Europa is OUT NOW!
Made by a tiny (but very talented) dev team, what started in 2017 as a passion project is now a full-fledged stunning meditative journey, and we’re so excited the game is now ready for players to experience. 😁 We hope you’ll enjoy spending a few hours on the moon of Jupiter as much as we do!
Ready to float through breathtaking landscapes, uncover secrets, and ponder humanity's relationship with nature? Europa is available now on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch for $15.00 USD /14.79 € / £12.79.
What is Europa about?
On the moon Europa, a lush terraformed paradise in Jupiter’s shadow, an android named Zee sets out in search of answers. Run, glide and fly across the landscape, solve mysteries in the ruins of a fallen utopia, and discover the story of the last human alive.
Europa is a peaceful game of adventure, exploration and meditation. As you travel you’ll gradually upgrade the capabilities of your Zephyr jetpack, boosting yourself further through the air until you can flow freely into the sky.
“Left me very close to tears for all the best reasons.” – GamesRadar
“Ethereal, soothing space travel.” - Nintendo Life
“Absolutely lovely.” – PC Gamer
Thank you so much for your support. We can’t believe it’s time to welcome you to Europa, and we hope you have a fun journey. 🦋 If you check it out on Steam, please leave a review - it helps us a lot! 💛
Other cool game news from friends of Future Friends:
It’s been a busy start to October! In the last nearly two weeks, we’ve helped cool indies with things like:
Announced Keep Driving with YCJY Games – a game about looking back and driving forward, with a unique turn-based battle system (those aren’t too common nowadays, huh)!
Released Garden of the Sea on Steam with Neat Corporation – the perfect game to play if you’re a farming sim fiend!
Launched Grunn – a very normal gardening game in which you do normal things and normal things happen! Very normal, just don’t go out at night!
Announced the release date for Great God Grove with LimboLane and Fellow Traveller – a game in which you literally suck dialogue and use your powers to befriend gods… and save the world?
Launched the 1.0 version of Thronefall with Grizzly Games – it’s a minimalist tower defence game that just feels so good to play because it ditches complicated systems. (The writer of this newsletter has a smooth brain and enjoys not knowing a thing about anything ever.)
That’s it for now!
Take care 😎
Future Friends!
