As you might know if you have found your way here, I am the head of the indie game studio Forgotten Key.

It’s with a heavy heart we have decided to prepare a shutdown of Forgotten Key, the place we have called home for the last 7 years.

We have grown from 4 to 14, had the pleasure to receive several prestigious awards, and we have worked with some of the industries biggest and finest. Now we are at roads end, and without a dramatic turn of events we will very soon close the doors to our studio.

With love and llambas

The last few years for us was much about finalizing and releasing AER Memories of Old, including porting and patching. That time was also about finding the next project, to fit in with how the market moves and try to find ways to sustain a growing studio. This is something we ultimately failed to do in a sustainable way even though our efforts bore fruit for a while.

In the humblest of ways, no matter what happens, we want to say a big thank you to all our players and to everyone who has been involved in guiding us, mentoring us, funding us, helping us, giving us company, and keeping us warm in harsh times. You have all made an impact in our lives in a way we couldn’t have dreamed of when we set out as a small inexperienced student team with a game concept or two.

We will use this occasion to release demos and material that has been secret up until now. This includes playable demos ready to download for free on itch.io (links to the demos below) for two new games and worlds we had in the making:
