At long last, our newest game is now available! Neo Harbor Rescue Squad brings fresh paramedic action and lets you save lives as a rookie paramedic today!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2342780/Neo_Harbor_Rescue_Squad/
As we celebrate launch, here are a few key things you'll want to know about the game:
Yes, it's our first 4K game! We wanted the bright, colourful artwork and animation to really shine, so on capable systems (see the requirements on the main store page) the game can run up to native 4K resolution. Of course, in the Options menu, you can choose a variety of resolutions in both 16:9 and 16:10 ratios.
Given that vibrant Neo Harbor City is inspired by co-designer Nancy's home town of Hong Kong, we wanted to make the game accessible to our Chinese-speaking friends and family. The localization team managed to even work in some language-specific puns!
Neo Harbor Rescue Squad runs at native 1280x800 resolution on Steam Deck and is fully controller-driven there, so if you have one, be sure to give it a go! We also are fans of Valve's portable system, so we wanted to make sure it was ready on day one.
Thanks for all your support so far. If you like the game, please leave a review! And if you have any issues, feel free to report them in the game's Tech Help discussion category.
See you in the field!

Hello, out there!
As we've mentioned before, we've been cooking something a little different for our fourth game — Neo Harbor Rescue Squad is an arcade-style game about saving lives as a rookie paramedic that uses fast-paced minigames and a battle-like triage system to simulate saving lives in the field.
It's obviously a lot more colourful and decidedly uh, less horrific, than something like Home, but the BancyCo approach still shines through: it's got some mystery, great characters, an innovative UI, and a story very personal to us, the developers.
And this labour of love finally launches on November 12! (Of course, you can still play the free demo right now).
Watch the new gameplay trailer:

We hope you'll give it a shot on launch day (for a 10% launch discount, BTW!) and keep an eye out for the Easter eggs we've hidden in the game...
Thanks as always for your support!

Awakened by an oncoming storm, you open your eyes to discover yourself in a strange, dark room – tucked away in a house that’s not yours. As you play the game, it changes – subtly, almost imperceptibly – to reflect your perspective. It's a horror game unlike any other, and as you'll discover, its truths are entirely subjective.

Can love bloom on a doomed space colony? Alone With You is the tragic sci-fi follow-up to indie horror hit Home, in which you discover the fate of your crumbling installation with the help of a very emotive AI companion and four fully-realized holograms.

Run for your life, hide in the shadows, and use your wits to avoid shadowy creatures and uncover the terrible truths of your wretched home town. Solve devious puzzles to reveal the emotionally-charged story of Holly and her friends that will have you hooked until the very end!

FINALLY we can show you what we’ve been working on for these last few years! It took a bit longer than we planned, based on our usual game release schedule, but now you can see what we've been cooking!
We would love, love, LOVE for you to give the demo a try. It'll show you about 30 minutes of what the game has to offer — the frantic action, the upbeat humour, and the loveable cast of characters we've created for you.
> Download it from the game's main page
We're super excited that Neo Harbor Rescue Squad joins the Wholesome Games Steam Celebration. 🎉
For those who’ve played our previous games, you’ll notice a change in tone, and there’s a reason for that.
This game was conceived during the height of the pandemic. Initially, we were going to channel that into a dark mystery, just like our other games, but we struggled to make it fun. Maybe it was because neither of us had the mental capacity during those uncertain times. Eventually, we tried a different angle. We added a cast of colorful characters, including a smack-talking dolphin (don’t ask); that’s when we knew we’d hit the right note.
So please enjoy this demo! Tell your friends, smack that wishlist button, etc. etc. — and thanks for your continued support. 🙏

Hello, everyone! We can at long last can announce our fourth original game, Neo Harbor Rescue Squad!
This arcade-style action title fuses the mechanics of popular medical-themed games from the Wii and DS era with fast-paced, challenging minigames so you get a taste of being a paramedic.
The Rescue Squad has long lived in the shadow of the Neo Harbor City's prestigious Fire Department, but no more! As the team's new paramedic rookie, players must respond to emergencies throughout the city, deal with difficult patients, and protect the squad's reputation against the machinations of news reporter Betty Woo!
Sounds exciting? Then wishlist the game today! 🙏 Your support means a lot to us and helps us reach more players!

Curious about how/why we decided to make a paramedic action game? We'll be posting behind-the-scenes updates about our development process up until launch.
Thank you!

We noticed after watching more people playing the game online, via streams, etc. that people wanted to get through the first part of the game — the intro and the first mission to the Comms Relay — a whole lot more quickly. And after getting more feedback, we agreed. And so...
(Don't worry — if you were playing the game and it saved while in the middle of the Comms Relay mission, you'll be right back at that mission. However, you'll notice things look a little different when you return.)
Happy playing!
