Dear Song of Horror fans,
Recently, we have received several questions about how the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic might affect Song of Horror’s development.
Protocol Games is a Madrid (Spain)-based development studio. As you know, both Spain and Madrid are being hit hard by COVID-19, and we ourselves had to adjust our procedures to comply with current safety restrictions and regulations. We have set ourselves up to develop Song of Horror remotely as efficiently, considering the limitations of remote work.
Our decision to stay at home has proven to be beneficial since all four of us have been sick these past few weeks, with mild yet unpleasant symptoms coherent with a potential coronavirus infection. Despite this situation, we are giving our all and doing our absolute best to guarantee the level of quality you have come to expect from us.
However, there are certain aspects of development that escape our control. One of these cases is the voice recording for Episode 5. The voice actors behind the characters of Song of Horror are currently staying at home as well, and the recording studio based in Paris is closed, following the recommendations of the healthcare system. We are looking for solutions to this and other occurrences with the help of our publisher, Raiser Games, who are also working remotely and helping us during this global situation.
Because of the previous set of events, we have made the hard decision of launching the final episode of Song of Horror on May 28th. We believe this is necessary to deliver the perfect ending to the Song of Horror story.
We will keep you informed on the development progress of Episode 5 starting tomorrow, when we will share a first-look on the final episode of Song of Horror.
Stay safe.
The Protocol Games team
