Hello, and welcome to the Peaks.
Serious Bara is out today on Steam, for Windows and Mac. It is a small game from a very small studio in Zurich, and we made it to be played slowly: a warm cup of something, a comfortable chair, a board or two before bed.
What it is. A connect-the-flow puzzle. You guide warm spring water from its source to every spring on a small board, one channel at a time, until the whole board runs. There is no timer on the puzzles, no lives, and nothing you could buy to skip a puzzle. When a board is done, the capybaras soak, and so can you.
What it is about. Capybaras are the secret custodians of history. From their mountain onsen outside time, the Peaks of Yuzuyama, they travel through hot springs to the fragile moments of the past and quietly set the flow right again. Along the way you meet Grandfather Kapi, Sage Yuzula, Grandma Momo, Professor Liliane Llama and Schnabbeldab, and a few well-known people of history who turn out to have been capybaras all along.
What is in the box. More than six hundred missions across the ages, over 2,500 boards, a sauna's worth of steam, eleven languages, controller support, and a launch discount of 10 % for the first two weeks.
If you have a quiet evening ahead, come and sit in the warm water with us. And if anything is not right, tell us in the discussions. We read every post ourselves.
Sincerely & seriously,
The Order of the Serious Bara
