space threnody

The scans are complete, and your handler sees just one blip on the radar.

A small spaceship, drifting aimlessly, with a signature that couldn't belong to anyone but her... Right?

Don your gear, grab your weapons, and take up the mantle of Space Lass! as you navigate a spaceship overrun with hostile lifeforms, searching desperately for its pilot: Your best friend... and the one that got away.

space threnody is a first person shooter adventure with atmospheric sci-fi horror sensibilities and sprite-based 3D environments that push portable 8-bit hardware to its limits.

We're also excited to announce a publishing deal through WOW! So Limited Games! Their team has been working closely with us up until release day to make sure the standard physical cartridge release and then limited edition physical collector's edition of space threnody are everything our fans want them to be. You can place your pre-order here!

EDIT: Hey Team Slime fans! Our sincerest apologies to those who pre-ordered a physical copy of space threnody through WOW! So Limited. If you aren't part of our mailing list, you may have missed news of their sudden closure. We have nothing but love and well wishes for the former employees who are searching for new positions right now. Just an update on where we're at with refunds, since some of you have been asking and we want to be as transparent as possible... communication with their CEO has broken down, so we are currently reviewing our legal options. Our legal advisor says we can't share anything further at this time just to maintain the integrity of our case, but we'll let you know when there is more we can say. In the meantime, we encourage you to enjoy the digital release of space threnody!
