Greeting Nobles, Swap your swords for poison tipped umbrellas and council robes for suits, it's time to go Over the Alps ! Before we were at Tributary, Sam , Harry and Nick all worked at Stave Studios on a game called Over the Alps. That studio sadly folded so we as Tributary hav
We're back from that space of unbeing. Not quite here and not quite there... with an update! Update 2.0.3 It's a small but fun one this time. For those who just want the headlines, here are the fixes included: Fixes to the tutorial for all players. Some players were experiencing
Hey all, Over the course of the day we spotted a minor bug which we weren't happy leaving, so we're rolling out a second hotfix of day. The South Cardinal for Mr Slab The Butcher Ritual had a small issue that caused some strangeness. To go into any more detail spoils it for new p
Hey all, We spotted two issues with our Cardinals release we've resolved in this high speed hotfix: The West Cardinal for Mr Slab The Butcher Ritual had an issue with one of the coins that made it only partially playable. The Ritual Select screen was reporting no coins for the Ph
The latest ritual was a success. Our huge free update to Occlude brings 24 new puzzles to the game, as well as new Archive Documents, Objects and a host of of quality of life improvements. Cardinals is a chunky expansion to the game, twisting six of the seven Rituals into somethi
Hello fellow cultists, occultists and related adherents. This need not be a long post; we have a single piece of news to deliver... Cardinals Will Release on October 22nd. Indeed. Two days from now. The free update expands Occlude with 24 enigmatic new puzzles. Six of the seven R
It's great fun being indie developers. One minute you're working away on Cardinals, adding a ton of new content to Occlude, fixing bugs in King of the Castle, working on prototypes and thinking "wow, this is a lot for a micro-studio". Next minute you get a mildly scary email from
Hello fellow cultists, occultists and related adherents. A double edition Steam post for you - Updating Occlude to 1.0.3 and announcing a major, free update coming in a couple of months! Salutations, Update 1.0.3 This update resolves the last of our outstanding game issues from l
There are still unanswered questions. There is still so much more to understand about these Entities and the games they play. Did Occlude create them? Or did they create Occlude ? A new piece of evidence has landed on my desk . A photo of Hiroshima, I think, but every time I look
We just can't help ourself - Our second update to Occlude is out! This is another small-ish one, addressing a few missing assets and further improving our controller support. As we said in our previous post the outpouring of support and love for Occlude has been humbling. As has
Hello Obscurants, Magicians and other practitioners. First we wanted to thank you from the bottom our hearts for the response to Occlude at launch. Over 5,000 of you have walked through the door in the rain and we're currently sitting on 86% (!!!) "Very Positive" reviews. We're a
Ben Starr's real-life appearances as headlining joker Jimbo aside, nothing about Balatro is particularly sinister. 2024's smash-hit card game is a soothing, number-blasting joy that, as developer 'Localthunk' has stressed, bears none of the gambling overtones of actual poker. But
Exuberant greetings to you penitents, supplicants and mendicants! Occlude , our game of occult solitaire is available right now on Steam, and we've saved you a seat at the table. Come. Play. Try, fail. Undo your mistakes. Try, succeed. Then break the world. If you played the demo
A note was slipped under my office door, alongside a pen drive. Somebody knows I've played Occlude; they must do. But I can't let myself think about that for now. What's more important is the note itself. A medical journal entry? Not a doctor's hand, though. A mortician. Who was
Greetings you players of world-breaking, mind-shattering "Solitaire Variant meets Lynchian Cosmic Horror At The Sublime Scale" games! Occlude will be in your hands in less than one week. Your seat at the table is waiting. We thought we'd put together a little one-week-to-go post
Greetings Obscurants, Magicians and other players of the occult. We come bearing news regarding Occlude. First, if you haven't seen, we're releasing on July 10th , a mere matter of weeks now. Second, we've now taken down the Demo as our full attention has turned to that (very clo
I've had this melody stuck in my head all day. An earworm of unknown origin. A sound playing on repeat, but only in my mind. And only when I'm at the Table. And so I've transcribed it - committed the melody to notation. This is new evidence . The sound feels both close and distan
Greetings Obscurants! A THIRD update has gone out to the Occlude Demo, which is now on version 0.2.6. This includes: A fix to stop cards sticking to the player's mouse A fix to say that the Demo is not, in fact, from the future, but 2025. The present year. Which is now. Make sure
Welcome to our second update post. If you haven't guessed, we're committed to making Occlude absolutely fantastic for everyone. I hope we've shown this by doing two updates in four days alone! You can read about the changes we made in the first 24 hours to the demo here. If you'r
We've had a ton of feedback on our new Occlude Demo for NextFest. Plenty positive, a few negative, and the vast majority asking for one feature above all - An Undo button. Undo Button Partly because we had a great deal of early feedback saying the difficulty was "just right" and
