It’s been a while since we’ve shared an update here, hasn't it? While our underwater universe has been out in the wild in the hands of you, our players, we’ve been busy behind the scenes.

Developing Ocean Keeper: Dome Survival and Ocean Keeper Co-op was an invaluable experience for us as we navigated our first steps into PC game development. But now, it’s time for something completely new...

Hold on to your hats (and your limbs), because we’re moving from the deep ocean to the cursed islands. Last Pirates: Die Together is a first-person co-op horror where you play as scallywags trying to break the curse by returning all stolen treasures.

In this project, we’re focusing on physics-based interactions that let you dismantle and grab almost anything on the island. Want to dismantle a door? Grab a piece of furniture? Drag your "hearties" out of danger? Those hands can do it all.

We are only a month and a half into production, so while the game is still in its early stages, the core vision is already coming to life. The unique "stretchy" movement and a world filled with hidden pirate (and beyond!) references already give it a distinct personality.

We’ve put together a teaser to give you a first look at the progress we’ve made:
