Why is selling good games so hard? Book of Demons Early Access launch postmortem.

It seems like it was yesterday, but it’s actually been two months since we launched Book of Demons on Steam Early Access.

Return 2 Games Manifesto

As you probably already know, Book of Demons is the first part of a much larger project – the Return 2 Games series. A set of seven unique games, with every title being a tribute to a single hit game from the 90’s.

It’s not easy for us to explain the whole spectrum of emotions that, over the years, have built inside us and later became the foundation for R2G. So, we’ve decided to present it in a different way – an animated manifesto. Hopefully, it will shed some light on the topic and you will find our motivation interesting and insightful. Our team has a long history making various games, and the project we are now working on is a culmination of our experiences and our passion. We also want to make a promise about how awesome the whole R2G series will be.

If you are interested, Joshua Vanderwall from The Escapist Magazine wrote a little piece about it. You can read it here.

So sit back comfortably and either watch a video version of the Return 2 Games Manifesto above or read the text-only version below […]
