I wanted to let you know that we have just released This is the Zodiac Speaking, a noir, fact-based single-player psychological thriller. We are happy to let you know about it as this is a completely new game from the talented Punch Punk team, who we all love for their amazing work on Apocalipsis: Harry at the End of the World (also released by Klabater). Zodiac is set in a completely different setting than the previous title, but both games share a unique artistic vision blended with an immersive story. We encourage you to check it:) Check the game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/907710/This_is_the_Zodiac_Speaking/ This is the Zodiac Speaking is a noir, fact-based single-player psychological thriller. Told from a first-person perspective, you play as Robert, a Bay Area journalist who survived a brutal attack by the notorious Zodiac serial killer. He will have to confront his traumatic demons if he hopes to stand a chance of discovering the Zodiac’s identity and bringing him to justice. This is the Zodiac Speaking offers two distinct gameplay modes. One that blends storytelling with stealth and action gameplay elements while the second (Detective mode) emphasizes storytelling to fully immerse you in the Zodiac investigation. The game mixes factually recreated crime scene details, and clues down, including the Zodiac’s cipher and even the misspellings in the Zodiac’s letters to the press with a fictional storyline, a mind-bending experience. Play This is the Zodiac Speaking and:

• Discover real-life facts and evidence from America’s most famous never caught serial killer
• Experience the story from the perspective of a person who survived the attack of the serial killer, face your trauma, and run an investigation that may lead you to the truth about Zodiac
• Unravel the details of the murders, visit the crime scenes, and experience real psychological sessions that will help you to manage your traumas
• Reveal the 3 alternative endings, all based upon your investigation decisions
• Enjoy the atmospheric, soundtrack, and original stylized visual style
• Stylized low poly retro-70s-inspired graphics based on a symbolic approach of J.W. Goethe’s theory and psychology of colors and how they impact mood and perception. It is supposed to look like you are watching TV in the 1970s

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33938074/0fcac166e2c7d5cb3cf8cfe2e4b430bfced1d3e1.jpg Hi folks, In Klabater we focus on narrative and story-driven games regardless of the genre. This is why we sometimes share some information with all the fans of our games here on Steam via publisher announcements. Please don't be mad, we do it when we feel you really may be interested in a certain game if you liked other games we have published ːsteamhappyː. Today we would like to introduce you to This is the Zodiac Speaking, an ambitious game created by a team of award-winning writers, developers, acclaimed musicians, and even a legendary music label! $13 000 and world fame – this is what This is the Zodiac Speaking developers are aiming for! Today Punch Punk Games (developer) and Klabater (publisher) have launched a 30-day Kickstarter campaign. THIS IS THE ZODIAC SPEAKING KICKSTARTER https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33938074/84d35d1da1d80e50f2b3a5381b2f725079d257e3.jpg This is the Zodiac Speaking is a fact-based single-player noir/psychological thriller based on the story of Zodiac, one of the most famous never-caught serial killers. It mixes vintage ’70s California visuals and an original epic cinematic soundtrack with gameplay elements that include classic horror, investigation, stealth mechanics, and multiple endings to discover. It offers two unique gameplay modes, one that blends storytelling with stealth-action gameplay and the other (Detective Mode) that emphasizes immersive investigative storytelling. Play as San Francisco journalist Robert Hartnell. Robert receives a mysterious phone call from the serial killer Zodiac who greets him with the infamous ‘hello, this is the Zodiac speaking’. This single event kicks off a series of events that will take Robert down a spiraling path toward confronting one of America’s most notorious killers and...his own past. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5StW5YDCzNE ADD THE GAME TO YOUR WISHLIST NOW https://store.steampowered.com/app/907710 "This is the Zodiac Speaking is a true American crime story. The Zodiac killer is ingrained in American pop culture. And though this game is by no means a homage to serial killers, it’s a story about their victims and the people who survived,” said Krzysztof Grudziński, Director and Narrative Designer in Punch Punk Games “The selection of Zodiac is the backdrop we are using to tell a unique story about a troubled protagonist, a San Francisco based journalist Robert Hartnell, who one day receives an ominous phone call. We look forward to sharing Robert’s story with you on September 24, regardless of the level of campaign’ success.” MORE THAN A GAME! Meet the amazing team behind This is the Zodiac Speaking The co-author of the script to This is the Zodiac Speaking is Lukasz Orbitowski, one of the best Polish writers, laureate of the ultra-prestigious Paszporty Polityki pop-cultural award and nominated for the Nike Award (most important literature prize). Orbitowski is one of Poland's most important horror authors. Together with Krzysztof Grudziński, Head of Punch Punk Games, they plunged into the dark and dangerous 70s to produce an immersive and mature story. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33938074/ed1c0758d00efc50129c5d4291e80c4d5b5dae1b.jpg Krzysztof Grudzinski & Lukasz Orbitowski Music for the game was created by AGIM, a restless innovator and experimenter of the Polish electronic music scene. The official soundtrack from the game will be published in Europe (digital distribution and vinyl edition) by a legendary electronic music label, Pias Recordings. The amazing soundtrack prepared by A_GIM, an acclaimed DJ, instantly sparked the interest among the Pias team. Pias will work with Klabater, the publisher of the game. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/33938074/4af00bb8a1ecca52a30369a6191e8d25c1ba9e05.jpg AGIM Joint-CEO in Klabater. “Acclaimed musicians, awarded writers, and of course very talented Punch Punk development team lead by Krzysztof Grudziński, they are all on board.

Today Klabater and Mandragora Games are pleased to reveal a story gameplay trailer for the upcoming isometric survival-horror, SKYHILL: Black Mist. The game will debut on May 28th this year. SKYHILL: Black Mist is a sequel to the unique Skyhill game from 2015, in which the player’s task was to escape from a hotel overrun by mutants. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UofpKIwH7_o SKYHILL: Black Mist, the second installment of the series, is a combination of horror and survival game. The game loosely parallels the original concept, but gameplay-wise it’s a revolutionary step forward. This time the developers moved from 2D to 3D, presenting the action in an isometric view. The game mechanics have been significantly enhanced with stealth elements and solutions known from metroidvania-like games, including the ability to re-explore already visited locations to find previously inaccessible items and information. An important element of the game, also improved compared to the original, is the crafting system that allows players to craft items that will help them survive in the most difficult conditions. The story in SKYHILL: Black Mist is inspired by the classic horror cinema, while also introducing mysterious and paranormal elements that we associate with such series as Stranger Things. The player cannot be sure what is true and what is an illusion. Locked in a haunted luxurious building complex owned by the mysterious corporation Skyhill Inc., he tries to understand who or what stands behind the eponymous Black Mist that turns people into mindless monsters.

We wanted to share news about another amazing game coming from our portfolio, developed by Mandragora Games. Hope you will find it interesting! We are pleased to confirm that the isometric survival-horror, SKYHILL: Black Mist, will debut on PC on May 28th this year. We will soon reveal gameplay trailers and raw footage from the game. We also plan live streams closer to premiere! Stay tuned! Below please check new screens from our game! As you may know, SKYHILL: Black Mist is a follow-up to unique Skyhill game from 2015. A simple idea wrapped in 2D comic-book graphics appealed to thousands of players around the world, instantly becoming an indie bestseller with 200k units sold! SKYHILL: Black Mist, the second installment of the series, is a combination of classic horror and gameplay straight from survival games. The game loosely parallels the original concept, but gameplay-wise it's a revolutionary step forward. This time the developers moved from 2D to 3D, presenting the action in an isometric view. The game mechanics have been significantly enhanced with stealth elements and solutions known from metroidvania-like games, including the ability to re-explore already visited locations to find previously inaccessible items and information. An important element of the game, also improved compared to the original, is a crafting system that allows players to craft items that will help them survive in the most difficult conditions. he story in SKYHILL: Black Mist is inspired by the classic horror cinema, while also introducing mysterious and paranormal elements that we associate with such series as Stranger Things. The player cannot be sure what is true and what is an illusion. Locked in a haunted luxurious building complex owned by the mysterious corporation Skyhill Inc., he tries to understand who or what stands behind the eponymous Black Mist that turns people into mindless monsters. Here’s short note from Eugene, head of SKYHILL: Black Mist project: "I think of the first Skyhill as a kind of an introduction to what we're creating now for Black Mist. We had time to significantly improve and expand the main concept; only the haunted building was left from the original game. The scale and the scope of this new adventure are incomparably greater, both in terms of gameplay solutions and due to the transition to extensive 3D locations that can be freely explored. It's a big game, full of surprises and plot-twists. I hope both fans of the original game and new players will like it."

The biggest addition this time is more game. “Roboto Factory” is a free DLC that lets you get inside the famous Roboto Factory, where all the bots you've met on Speculo were created. You will discover its workings and see your old mechanical companions in a new light.

We’ve also added the support for both simplified and traditional Chinese - now not only you can enjoy the game with Chinese subtitles but also with Chinese text within the game world!

Additionally we’ve implemented some new fixes:

• We’ve moved onto a newer version of the Unreal Engine. Thanks to that we’ve been able to further optimize the game and improve its performance in some locations;
• With the new renderer the depth of field has been improved;
• Buggy handles better and has improved physics;
• Fixed the achievement “Get 6600 units of graphene” - now it should unlock properly;
• Fixed the occasional issue with incorrect display of subtitles;
• Added the option to turn off the vibration on gamepads;
• The puzzle with guiding a robot at the beginning of the base game has been improved to deliver maximum satisfaction;
• Added the option to reset your save files, so you can restart the level you’re currently in. In the main menu just press LCTRL+LSHIFT+F5 and listen for a sound indicating that the reset is done.

Enjoy!

Phew, it took longer than we thought but we’re finally here! Another patch comes, as promised, and it should fix many of the issues you guys were having recently. We’re vigilant and we’re looking into all of the problems you’re reporting. We know that at the end of the day you just want to play a cool game without any hassle, so we’re truly thankful for all of your feedback. Thank you!

Ok, now enough of this jibba jabba and let’s get to what’s new:

• Added a teleport system to the game. It’s entirely optional and you can find it, unsurprisingly, in the options menu. It’s the point-to-click sort where you freely choose the location you want to go (instead of moving to a predetermined zone). It works with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive;
• Fixed the OSVR support for the newest HMD, just choose one of the HDK2 compatibility modes while starting the application. There’s one caveat though - HMD scaling (supersampling) is currently unavailable on OSVR;
• Broader support for unsupported devices. Now the game launcher will be giving you six choices instead of the usual three. If you happen to have an HMD that is not of the Oculus-Vive-OSVR variety, you can now choose one of the new compatibility modes and (fingers crossed) everything will be working. No guarantees but we believe in many cases that should do the trick;
• Fixed the issues with game saves. We’ve tested it extensively to find the cause of the problem and the saves you’ve provided were of huge help to us. Now both saving and loading works as intended;
• Changed the locations of several checkpoints, so no Alice will be trapped in a no-win scenario ever again;
• Snap turning on HTC Vive will no longer cause you to move backwards, so now everyone can follow Pop’s mantra: “Never backwards, always forward”;
• Fixed all discovered causes of players getting out of bounds, because in the game of croquet everyone needs to stay in the play area;
• Now on HTC Vive you can use both motion controllers and a gamepad, so even if your HTC Vive is the off-brand type, you can still play Alice VR;
• The camera position on HTC Vive has been brought in line with its position on Oculus Rift. Yeah, it’s a weird thing to mention in patch notes, I know;
• Fixed achievements (On Foot, Grown a Conscience, Greedy, Carbon Footprint, Mommy?). Now the system works faster, is shinier, and in case it bugged out on you the first time, you’ll be able to get the missing achievements on your second go-round;
• Fixed collision issues, especially on ramps. Ramps are tricky;
• Enhanced lighting effects in the City.

Thank you for playing Alice VR!

And here we are, 12 busy days after the launch and spirits are high. We’ve hit some snags but we’re still working on the game, tweaking its performance and implementing changes requested by you. We are grateful for all of your feedback, both the good and the bad - we learn from it and it helps us make Alice VR a better game for everyone. At the moment we’re working on adding full teleport movement support for the game and we’ll be improving the performance of Alice on Radeon graphics cards (of course this is not the end of the planned tweaks). This patch should drop after the upcoming weekend but for now we have some glitch fixes for you. Those were included in the big GOG update that brought its version in line with what’s available on Steam. However for GOG we’ve added some new fixes on top of the old fixes, and now we have to bring the Steam version in line with the GOG version. Oh, how the tables have turned.

What’s new:

• Fixed the occasional bug when exiting the buggy could place you under the ground (but only waist down - we’re not monsters, we would never try to bury you alive, intentionally or otherwise);
• Fixed the issue with strafing in HMD;
• Fixed the occasional issue during the hallucination right after the Greenhouse level;
• Fixed the occasional issue with saving the game on the desert (right after the planetarium);
• Fixed the issue in the planetarium puzzle, which allowed gamers to acquire infinite amount of graphene. That was madness, Hatter’s levels of it;
• Sound tweaks in the first City level;
• Sound tweaks in the second City level;;
• Fixed the issue in the Greenhouse which kept the door open all the time. That wasn’t right, the Greenhouse closes at 6pm;
• Gameplay tweaks during the hallucination on the desert.

As promised, we’ve just uploaded our second patch. It contains some fixes in the graphics department as well as a bunch of additional tweaks.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

thanks to your feedback on the forums, we’ve found out why some of you were seeing subpar, blurry graphics. It turned out that we've had a problem with GeForce 1000 series cards. We tried to solve this problem in this patch and we are in contact with the people from Nvidia. In any case the right fix shouldn’t be too long. Huge shout-out to Wrath of God, Kris.vdv, sergo1000, and BaineTR for taking the time to help us find the root of the problem! Thanks guys! And now, the patch notes...

Graphics:

• All graphical settings should now work properly;
• Due to popular demand the maximum HMD scaling (supersampling) has now been increased from 1.50x to 3.00x. Go nuts, just be careful and don’t burn your rig down, ok?

Other:

• Fixed an issue causing some voices to not play correctly;
• Now pausing the game during voice playback works as intended;
• Tweaked how the game is being saved;
• Your audio settings will now be saved properly;
• Fixed the occasional issue with computer screens in the first level of the game;
• Fixed the collision issues in the City level;

Thank you for being here with us! We read the forums daily and we appreciate your feedback. --Alice VR Team

Our first patch is here! First of all, thank you for supporting us and staying with us through this rocky start. Although things weren’t all smooth from the get go, this first update should put us on the right track. We truly appreciate your feedback, so please keep it up! Now, let’s see what’s changed...

The BIG stuff:

• added the requested option to change the HMD scaling (supersampling) on HTC Vive and Oculus Rift. Now you have the choice between 0.80x, 1.00x and 1.50x;
• graphics settings are now being saved properly, yay!
• the same goes for your language settings - on occasion they could default to your Steam language. No more.

The less big stuff:

• screen mirroring on HTC Vive should now work properly;
• some on-screen text and controller description fixes;
• fixed an issue during the encounter with the Hatter;
• Polish audio is no longer being selected automatically;
• tutorial messages are now turned on by default.

The new stuff:

• if you’re playing Alice in VR, as you should, you now have the option to turn off strafing and backwards movement (toggled in the options menu). All in the interest of your comfort and well-being;
• added the option to make 90 degrees turns on gamepads and HTC Vive controllers, because everyone should be able to play how they want to.

Thank you all for your patience and let us know what you think! Enjoy Alice VR!

Hi, today we want to give you some cool music from Alice VR to listen to! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/26478003/b2286dcad54e9cda03b82736cb9540d33d3f1868.jpg In every game music is responsible for creating the atmosphere, but it’s in VR games where it becomes one of the most important elements. When you put on your goggles and headphones, you dive into a new, virtual world where every sound you hear is part of your new reality. We’re really proud of the music in Alice VR, so please enjoy this small offering of 3 atmospheric, electronic tracks. The whole soundtrack was composed by François Jolin of Eon Sounds, the man behind the music in all our trailers. If you’ve watched them, you know you can expect the best;) TAKE A LISTEN HERE Don’t forget that with Alice VR you’ll also get the full soundtrack (in mp3 and FLAC formats), an artbook with concept graphics, rough sketches and developer notes, and an assortment of other goodies.

So, how do you find our music? Do you feel the atmosphere of encroaching madness, thickening mystery and spaaace?
