Hello everyone,
If you’ve been part of our journey since Ikai, and you loved it, get ready because we’re returning to Japanese horror with a new game! 👀
We’re excited to announce our upcoming project: Silent Road, a chilling horror experience that puts you in the shoes of a night-shift taxi driver in Japan’s suicide ring.
Drive through a remote region of Japan, haunted by a long history of suicides. You’ll have to pick up strange passengers, fulfill their unsettling requests and follow the silent road as their stories make each ride darker than the last.
View game page
What to expect?
More Japanese Horror ⛩️
Experience the fear of a Japanese region marked by tragedy, where the dead still call out from its forests and roads.
Night-Shift Driving 🚖
Drive between remote villages on silent forest routes and witness the night’s horrors from the driver’s seat.
Strange Passengers 👤
Pick up peculiar characters whose stories grow more disturbing with every encounter. Prepare yourself for whoever (or whatever) steps into your taxi.
Unsettling Requests ⚠️
Get out of the vehicle to assist passengers when required. These tasks are simple, but none of them ever feel entirely safe.
We can’t wait to show you more soon. For now, the best way to support the project is by adding Silent Road to your wishlist. It truly helps us continue developing the game and bring our vision to life. And you can also check out the announcement trailer if you haven't yet.

Thank you so much for your support,

New cozy game from the creators of Ikai is OUT NOW!
Hi everyone, After the spine-chilling journey of Ikai, our team has embarked on a new adventure, one that’s a bit—okay, very—different but just as special. We’re thrilled to share that our new cozy game Instants has officially launched during Wholesome Direct! 🥳 Available NOW wi
Hi everyone,
After the spine-chilling journey of Ikai, our team has embarked on a new adventure, one that’s a bit—okay, very—different but just as special.
We’re thrilled to share that our new cozy game Instants has officially launched during Wholesome Direct! 🥳
Available NOW with a launch discount, Instants is a heartwarming narrative puzzle game that we’ve truly poured our hearts into. While it’s a big shift from the horror of Ikai, we hope Instants brings you warmth and peace of mind during those breaks when all you want is to unwind.
View game page
So... What is Instants?
Instants is a cozy narrative puzzle game where you piece together a family’s life story through photographs, assembling a chronological puzzle of heartwarming memories.
You’ll receive a collection of pictures that are all mixed up, and your job is to figure out the order in which the moments happened and arrange them correctly inside photo albums. As you do, the story of the family slowly comes together, little by little, photo by photo. Once everything is in the right order, you can decorate the pages using scrapbooking tools like stickers, washi tape, and pens to make each album your own.
The game isn’t fast-paced or stressful. Instants is a calm, reflective experience focused on concentration, discovery, creativity, and storytelling. If you enjoy games that invite you to slow down and really take in the details, Instants might be just what you’re looking for.
🧩 Reconstruct memories
📖 Uncover a family's journey
🎨 Customize with Scrapbooking tools

Your support has meant everything along the way, which is why we hope Instants brings you comfort, joy, and maybe even a few tears (the good kind).
Grab your favorite cup of tea and come join us on the bright side.
See you in Instants, 💖
-Endflame team
