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!

As we celebrate the upcoming launch of our fourth game, Neo Harbor Rescue Squad, we wanted to collect our first three titles for new and existing players. This bundle is a complete-the-set triple-pack, so if you've not played all of our previous titles, now is a great time to do so at a discounted price.




https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/215670/Home/

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.


https://gtm.you1.cn/storesteam/app/564940/Alone_With_You/

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. Providing a rich story that adapts to your choices, Alone With You is the Space Quest-meets-OK Cupid adventure game you never knew you wanted – until now!

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

• A DualSense, DualShock, or Xbox controller is recommended (there's some weirdness with Switch Pro controllers right now that will be fixed)
  
• The demo can be played in up to native 4K!
  
• There may be some weirdness with windowed mode right now; we'll fix that too
  
• The demo lets you fail treatment scenes with no penalty; we just want you to have fun; you can stress out in the full game

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!

• 🩹 Use our triage system to quickly monitor patients’ health, how much damage they’re taking, if they’re critical, and learn to prioritize treatment
  
• 🪟 Quickly switch between different views to manage multiple patients across a variety of complex scenes
  
• 🛡️ Use shields to temporarily protect your patients from damage, giving you some breathing room to strategize
  
• 🅰️ Aim for a high rank with each emergency; be graded based on speed, skill, and the condition of your patients
  
• 💬 Make dialogue choices to deal with the public, advance the story, and get to know your squadmates
  
• 🐬 Laugh through a story of teamwork and friendship (and dolphins), inspired by real paramedic stories in Asia!
  
• 👀 Be a paramedic in up to native 4K!

Sounds exciting? Then wishlist the game today! 🙏 Your support means a lot to us and helps us reach more players!

Did you dig Alone With You but haven't tried Home? Now you can get both for one discounted price!

Yes, we've been planning this wordplay joke for five years. No, no — we are not proud of it. But still — it's a great bundle at a great price!

Get the bundle here (or gift it to a friend)!

Just a quick update to address a bug found by one of our intrepid players. Thank you for the notice on this!

• fixed an issue where entering the holo-sim chamber on Day 5 could "warp" you to the wrong place, unable to move

This is a fun update we've been looking forward to for a long time — our friends over at PS Nation invited us onto the show to discuss every last detail of Alone With You!

This is an epic, 2+ hour podcast episode where we reveal all the secrets behind the game — references, development details, and even Easter eggs — and trust us, we've been holding back for months just so we could spill the beans on this show.

If you've finished the game, listen to the show[www.psnation.com], and let us know what you think!
