About this beast

The Gloomsquid does not walk anywhere, because it has never needed to. It floats at about head height, thinks unkind thoughts with considerable force, and folds if anything heavy reaches it. Recommended for owners who like a plan and have a backup plan.

The real mailing list

Nothing in this shop can be bought yet.

The catalog is fiction until the game ships. Leave an address and the studio will write once, when the Steam page opens, and rarely after that. It goes on the Keeper’s List, which the studio shares across its games.
