Hey adventure friends!

I have some exciting news for you — after three months of work, we're announcing Two Realms: Whispers from the Rift, an adventure game set in a medieval fantasy world.

The story revolves around Tobias and his brother finding a mysterious crystal, which sets off an unexpected chain of events. Tobias must find a way to save & protect his loved ones — but it seems there are other forces at play, and other people are looking for the crystal as well...

The game will feature:

• Classic point-and-click adventure gameplay: puzzles, dialogue, and clever item usage.
• Focus on story and immersion, with logical character actions.
• Around 5–10 hours of dark storytelling with unexpected twists.
• Gorgeous, hand-animated pixel art graphics and an original soundtrack.
• A cast of unique characters with full voice acting, plus a cat.

We're working hard to bring you a playable demo, which we expect to be ready around the middle of the year. If you like the game so far, let me know!

All best,
Jaromir MOD42

All of this took only three months to make? Wow.

There's two of us and we mean business!

Looks great! Is this made in AGS?

[Jaromir @ MOD42]

Hey, no (that's why it's not in the AGS Games in Production category) - we use PowerQuest from the creator of Crawl - it's awesome .

[Jaromir @ MOD42]

We've been hard at work on the demo we promised to bring you in September! This demo will cover the beginning of the game and last around 30–60 minutes — enough for you to dive into the story and see for yourself whether we're living up to our promises:

• Gorgeous pixel art graphics and immersive SFX & music
• Interesting, atmospheric locations and characters
• A captivating story that pulls you in
• And yes... we even snuck in a few jokes! 😄

We're pushing to deliver on schedule, and so far everything is on track for September. In the meantime, we've also improved the game visuals and refreshed the logo — let us know what you think!



Last but not least, enjoy some new screenshots!

I agree, the graphics are really gorgeous

Hey fans!

We're working on the demo full time, in order to bring it to you crisp and flawless. I know we originally optimistically promised the demo in August, which is already past us... But, better to give you something worthy than half baked goods, I believe! This time, we're really getting closer to publishing it.



To give you a glimpse of what we're doing:

• We've decided to hire a voice actor for Tobias, and we're currently dealing with a few candidates. 💬
  When playing other adventures I realized how important the voice acting actually is. And AI can't still cut it. So, we decided to hire a VA, at least for the main character, even though we're releasing only the demo. Other voices will be still made by AI, though, because we don't have the resources (mostly time) right now to do it. The full game will be completely made with VA, though!
• We're finalizing the locations & gameplay. 🌲
  There were some last minute decisions to redo parts of the demo, since I felt it's not "good-enough". A little delay that's definitely worth it.
• I'm producing the soundtrack. 🎷
  I always wanted to make the music for the game. There was a time where I almost decided to hire an external musician, because I already do a lot - but then I said "Screw it, music is my passion, I'll not take this away from myself." And it was for good! The soundtrack currently have 4 songs, from orchestral menu music to suspensful drones, and I have to add a few more to cover the demo.
• We're finishing the support game systems. 💻
  Menus, GUI, save system... We can't release it without! 😄
• Preparing the playtest & PR. 🎉
  If you're interested in playtesting, let me know (find me on discord moodhuntz)! If you have a youtube channel or are a streamer and want to cover the demo in your channels, also let me know and we work something out. For example, we may give you an early access 😜.
• Making a new gameplay trailer. 🎞
  The demo deserves a proper introduction through a new trailer! And we haven't showed much of the actual gameplay, so this is the time.

So, what can you look forward to?

• Almost 1 hour of gameplay.
  Actually, that's a lot! We're thinking of reducing the scope.
• Meeting 3 main and 3 secondary characters.
  Includes Tobias, Juno and mage Thaddeus ✨.
• 6 distinct locations and full intro.
  Telling the story from the beginning.

Now, no more talking and let me get back to work 😄!

All best,
Jaromír
