Hello everyone! 2025 is coming to an end, and it's time to start recapping. For our studio, this was undoubtedly the year of Static Dread!We started working on the game back in 2024, but it was in January of this year that the first public playtests began. We developed and created the project together with you, which was incredibly fun! In August, the game was released on Steam for PC, Mac, and Steam Deck, and later also on major consoles. So far, about 40,000 people have bought the game! Thank you so much for your support and participation. You are helping us make our dream come true and crea
