• Major Update #1 (including SteamDeck support) & Promo - 18 May 2023

  Last months the team was quite busy working on bringing Chasm: The Rift to consoles and at the same time introducing more tweaks and improvements for PC version. Today it all goes live. In order to celebrate it we are running a 50% promo on the game for Steam gamers. But what about tweaks? Probably the most important PC update is a SteamDeck compatibility (which will be verified by the Steam team soon), but that's just one of many. Here is the full list: - Implemented aim assist feature for controller input. - Added configurable motion blur post effect into the game. - Improved controls (e.g. more convenient turning and non-linear acceleration). - Introduced a new custom difficulty level that allows individually set player damage, enemy damage and a number of spawning enemies based on different difficulty levels. - Implemented new crosshair configuration (shape, size, color) and improve…

• Chasm: The Rift is live! - 10 October 2022

  Today we are releasing Chasm: The Rift. It was a long trip with numerous attempts across many years to bring this great game originally developed in Ukraine back to life. Clarifying the rights status, legal work, finding the code basis from which we can re-create the game, sleepless nights rewriting a big part of the game, QA, checking feedback, iterating and finally the day of release. This day wouldn’t be possible without a fantastic community that was supporting the life of this game for over the last 20+ years. We are extremely grateful to each and every one of you. We’ve tried to put some of the names to the credits, but we are sure we might have missed someone. Apologies for it. For many companies, release day would be the end of the journey, but not for us. There are still many things that we want to add to Chasm: The Rift and that, unfortunately, didn’t make it for this release.…
