- New game: Escape the Flood! - 30 July 2026
Hi everyone, The Steam page for my next game is up. Escape the Flood! is a first person survival crafting game. You wash ashore on a procedurally generated island while the ocean is rising, gather what you can find, and build a boat before the water covers everything. You can play alone or with up to three other people. There is one boat. It has nothing to do with Paranormal Observation, and it is also the first game I am not making on my own. I am building it together with Orys, published under Frosthain. Early Access starts in November 2026. Store page and wishlist: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4981810/Escape_the_Flood/ Wishlists are pretty much the main thing that decides whether Steam shows a small game to anyone at launch, so if it looks interesting to you, adding it helps. Thanks, Platuro
- Fisherman's House is getting an Overhaul! - 22 July 2025
Hello everyone,When I first released Fisherman’s House, it was my very first game, and to be honest, a lot of it was experimental. Especially the VR side. Looking back, there is a lot I would do different now.I’ve read your feedback, and I really appreciate everyone who took the time to play it and say what they thought.So... I’m working on a complete overhaul.The plan is to release a major update in Q4 2025 that improves almost every part of the game. It’s not just bugfixes – it’s a full rework, built on everything I’ve learned since launch and the time in my study.Here’s what’s coming:Much better VR controls and comfort optionsSmoother movement and interactionsImproved lighting, audio, and atmosphereTweaked puzzles and escape logicA smarter, dynamic and more fair Fisherman AIIf you’ve played it already – thank you. If you refunded it – fair enough, but maybe give it another look later…

- Your wishes for the final launch - 2 May 2022
Hello everyone, Soon the final version of Fisherman's House will be released with last improvements. For this reason, I would like to ask everyone if they have any requests for this game that they would like to implement. After the final release, I will invest time in another project that will be different from this game. It will also be a horror game that will be released on Steam. Before I start my new project, I want to finish Fisherman's House for release. Be creative! I will review every comment and the best ideas will be implemented. It is also possible to write me directly via Discord. https://discord.gg/pEktphe5WM Until then Your developer @platuro
