- Lost Sunday Comics to be removed from Steam - 5 February 2023
Hey everyone! We are currently in the process of removing Lost Sunday Comics from Steam. The reason is that we no longer have the rights to display The Lost Sunday and Treasures, Thoughts and Trinkets. Both works can, however, still be enjoyed via the author channels. We would like to take this occasion to thank all of you who have supported us in this journey. All the backers for The Lost Sunday Kickstarter campaign will still retain the book here. If you are one of them and did not yet get your access key, you can contact us and get one. However, Lost Sunday Comics will no longer be displayed on Steam so new players will not be able to find and get it.
- Trailer reveal for our new book, Treasures, Thoughts and Trinkets - 11 May 2022
Hello everyone! This Monday, we launched the Kickstarter campaign for Treasures, Thoughts and Trinkets by Ileana Surducan - a collection of 24 silent comics that bring a world of colour for your soul, a playful puzzle for your mind and a fresh perspective on everyday life. We made a pretty neat book trailer for it, which we are happy to share here: This book will of course join the magical shelves of Lost Sunday Comics, with its own customised room. We also hope to print it in a luxurious, A4 golden inlays hardcover format so this is why we are on Kickstarter. It will become a beautiful book for people of all ages who enjoy a little bit of playfulness and optimism. All Kickstarter rewards include access to Lost Sunday Comics and all its titles. If you already own the game and still wish to help us turn Treasures, Thoughts and Trinkets into an actual book, we encourage you to gift your c…

- Tiny fixes & a party invite - 19 April 2022
It's really a tiny fix but just in case you noticed Lost Sunday Comics updating - we fixed the Art Gallery and Slow Sunday achievements. Now, hopefully some of you will have another game with 100% achievement progress, at least until we add more of them to accompany the new books! Which brings us to the fact that we are less than one month away from our new Kickstarter campaign for Treasures, Thoughts and Trinkets. Can stories heal your soul? Treasures, Thoughts and Trinkets is a collection of 24 silent comics that bring a world of colour for your soul, a playful puzzle for your mind and a fresh perspective on everyday life. On Friday, April 22, starting 5:30pm CET/ 6:30pm RO/ 11:30am EST, Maria, Ileana and I (Laura) will livestream and broadcast right here again. We may show an exclusive preview of our Kickstarter campaign - join us and give us feedback!
- Achievements unlocked! - 6 April 2022
Hey everyone! I am very happy to finally say: achievements are here! The latest update brings the first set of Lost Sunday Comics achievements. From opening to fully reading The Lost Sunday, I hope you will have a little bit of pleasure discovering all 10 achievements, most of them added as hidden. And now that the system is up and running, each new book will bring even more achievements. Imagine Utopias - watch our latest stream! We also have been live streaming recently, to talk about our upcoming book, Treasures, Thoughts & Trinkets, and also about buying Lost Sunday Comics with Kindness. We recorded the entire stream, even when the gods of tech failed us (actually, that was just me ːsteamhappyː), and you can watch it right here or on our YouTube channel. What's next? Improved reading functionality (specifically the zoom function), more magic (why have a cookie if you cannot eat it?)…
- Pay with Kindness for Lost Sunday Comics + Live Stream this Friday! - 28 March 2022
Hey everyone! As I mentioned in the very first update published here, I started Pronoia because I want to bring utopias to life. There are many reasons that brought me to this point, but I think the underlying one is that I believe our natural human tendency is to be kind. I do my best to practice what I preach, which is why I am so very proud to let you all know that you can now buy Lost Sunday Comics with Kindness. Get Lost Sunday Comics with Kindness Pronoia is now officially a KindePay Merchant, part of a growing movement of merchants who recognise that our businesses rely on the kindness that weaves community together and allows for thriving and for mutual benefit.

- Meet Nina! And us, too! - 15 March 2022
Hey everyone! We are celebrating a little bit now because of all the lovely reviews you wrote to us here on Steam! As of yesterday, Lost Sunday Comics has enough reviews for a score, which brought us a significant increase in visibility. So we are having cake. Yay! We want to thank you as in person as possible which is why we will be live streaming as soon as we are back from our current book promotion travels, on April 1st - no joke! While planning this event, we realised we never really told you much about us as a team in general, nor about our YouTube channel and all the streams we did so far. To fix this, we must first start with Nina: This is a doll that Ileana made, because she is super talented, and she just cannot stop creating! Nina was the star of our last live stream, which we call Imagine Utopias: Imagine Utopias are short episodes that we livestream and record, where we tal…

- Welcome to Lost Sunday Comics - 4 March 2022
Hey everyone, My name is Laura and I am the person behind Pronoia AB. I started this company because I find myself in need of hope, which I cannot nurture much with today's entertainment. Since there aren't that many utopias out there to relish in, I decided to bring some to life myself. My career background is in video games and I assumed that is what Pronoia will produce, too. It turns out the Universe had other plans for me. The first utopia I published is Zestrea, a marriage negotiation board game about hilarious traditions and village life. And then came The Lost Sunday, a fairy tale inspired comic book about working too much. Both products have been successfully funded on Kickstarted and are available for sale on the Pronoia web shop (well, at least what I currently have in stock). While working on The Lost Sunday, I deeply wished that this gentle and delightfully optimistic book…
