- The Chapter Select Update (Yes, Really) - 20 May 2026
Hi, everyone!This is Julian from DigiTales. As we do every year, we'd like to once again commemorate Lacuna's release anniversary in some way. The game came out on PC five (!) years ago today, and holds a special place in our hearts as our very first project.However, unlike the previous years, this commemoration comes with a major addition to the game, easily the most requested feature ever since it came out: a chapter selection menu!What we've been up toI gather some of you are wondering why this is being added now. It's Been 84 YearsWe didn't initially add chapter selection because it goes somewhat against the game's core philosophy that your choices matter and that the playthrough you get is your unique story. However, a lot of people just want to play the game differently and explore various branches. The absence of the feature also made the lives of achievement hunters unnecessaril…
- Lacuna turns 4 – and what a journey it's been! - 20 May 2025
Fellow Detectives! Hard to believe, but it’s already been four years since Lacuna first launched—and it’s still going strong. Earlier this year, we quietly passed 300,000 copies sold across all platforms, and we’re beyond grateful for everyone who’s joined Neil on his story so far. 💙 As if that milestone wasn’t special enough, we also had the incredible honor of hearing part of Lacuna’s soundtrack brought to life by a live orchestra once again. For us, the soundtrack wasn’t just background, it was a true passion project, composed by Julian Colbus (one of our own team members). And let us tell you: nothing quite compares to the feeling of hearing your own music played by real musicians. Here's a short snippet of the live concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-3IYB5xUPs From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for supporting Lacuna, sharing your thoughts, and spreading the word over…

- You Like Heavy Music? - 13 May 2024
Remember these guys? If you played Lacuna, you may remember seeing them around the streets of Ghara. Although it’s never mentioned in the game (as far as we remember), the band is called Romp House. To celebrate Lacuna’s imminent three-year release anniversary, we have a little gift for your: Their five in-game songs from the Lacuna OST were just released for free online! You can find the Romp House mini album on Bandcamp, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and SoundCloud among other places. Our composer Julian originally wrote this music for fun with a friend to dip his toes into Synthwave music. This happened in parallel to developing Lacuna, without intending to ever combine the two. However, when the project with his friend fizzled out, he decided to use a handful of tracks (there are quite a few more!) inside the game. We hope you like the music! If you do, give Jul…
- From one detective to another! - 25 March 2024
Fellow detectives, It is done! We are incredibly thankful for all the positive feedback we received for our first game Lacuna, and we really hope that Between Horizons can live up to your expectations. We learned a lot ever since Lacuna was released and did our best to apply all these lessons to our new game, providing you with enhanced and more unique detective gameplay. If you played Lacuna, don't expect the core gameplay loop to be the same -- you might be in for some surprises! Since we're big sci-fi fans (The Expanse, anyone?), we also wanted to create a detective game with an even higher focus on the sci-fi theme. And thus, the idea for Between Horizons was born. Here's the release trailer: We can't wait to hear your thoughts about Between Horizons. No matter what comes next, we are incredibly grateful for your ongoing support and love for the detective game genre. Keep it up dete…
