  • Working with classical music in our games - 24 March 2021

    Introduction Audio is an integral part of all our games, and music specifically has been a central focal point. From working with talented musicians to compose original scores for the street musicians in Mosaic, to using a lullaby the whole team grew up with in Among the Sleep. In our two smaller games, The Plan and Sunlight however, we decided to use powerful classical works to carry the narrative and emotion of the games, and we thought it would be fun to elaborate a bit on this process. Contains spoilers for The Plan and Sunlight. Decisions On all our projects, the starting point for the music was the emotional and narrative goal of the project as a whole. It might seem obvious, but really picking apart what the game is, was key to understanding what we want to achieve with the music. In The Plan, we chose Death of Aase by Edvard Grieg (give it a listen!) because of its grandiose fee…

  • So, where are we 8 years later? (Spoilers) - 12 March 2021

    If you’ve made it this far, I’m guessing you’ve played the game or don’t mind spoiling a 6 minute long game from 8 years ago – which is fair. When we all those years ago decided to implement a starry sky, where players can contribute a message to future players, we didn’t really know what to expect. We also assumed the game might be played by a few hundred people, if we were lucky. But we just checked the database, and there’s currently no less than 782.676 (!) messages in there. Here's a little sample: We spent some time reading, feeling like digital archeologists. Who are all these people, and what are their lives like? And even now, as new messages pop in daily, it keeps filling us with joy and a regained purpose in making these types of games. In our most recent game Sunlight, we even decided to do a very similar thing, which turned out to be just as rewarding. To end, thanks to eve…

  • Sunlight is out now! - 14 January 2021

    Sunlight, a sort of spiritual successor to The Plan, is finally out in the world. It has been a strange project to work on, especially since it’s been developed in isolation during a very strange time. It’s always scary to share work, but when people seem to like it it’s also super rewarding! Everything is connected, and Sunlight is no different. For every copy of the game that is downloaded, a tree will be planted. Visit the Sunlight steam page Hope you like it! The Krillbite team

  • Our new game Sunlight, that shares a lot of DNA with the Plan, is coming soon! - 5 January 2021

    We’ve made a new game that shares quite a bit of DNA with The Plan. A spiritual successor if you like. It’s called Sunlight, and will be launched on Jan. 14th, check out the trailer below, and wishlist if you’re interested :) All the best, The Krillbite Team

  • Our new game Mosaic is out! - 5 December 2019

    When we released Among the Sleep and The Plan five years ago, we didn't really know what our next game would be, we only knew that we wanted to make something completely different from Among the Sleep. That game turned out to be Mosaic. It's a very different game from Among the Sleep. In Mosaic you play a disillusioned office worker living in a dystopian and dark version of our modern society. You are a tiny part of a complex and ungraspable huge machinery. You have no direction in life, no influence and feel alienated and alone. Whereas we tackled horror from the perspective of a child in Among the Sleep, Mosaic is more about horror seen through the eye of an adult tackling our modern lifestyle. The development of Mosaic has been a long and complicated process for us. We signed on with publisher Raw Fury last help to get assistance and help to wrap this game up. And now it's finally do…

Short description

About this game

A fly ascends to the skies, pondering the pointlessness of its brief existence. The Plan was developed as a side project by Krillbite Studio, who's currently finishing their main project Among the Sleep. Comments from the press "Hey, You Should Play This" - Patrick Klepek, Giantbomb "Some may argue that The Plan isn't really a game and it definitely occupies the same terrain as Journey, Passage, and Dear Esther, but it's shorter than Journey, prettier than Passage, and less overwrought than Dear Esther, making it well worth taking a punt on for the low price of free." - Jeffrey Matulef, Eurogamer "It’s that space in the mechanics for thought and interpretation that I appreciate most here. The Plan won’t break your brain, but it’s a nicely contemplative journey." - Nathan Grayson, RockPaperShotgun "In order, here are the emotions I experienced during the three minutes it took me to play The Plan, the new free morsel from the Norweigan indie developer Krillbite: confusion, frustration, boredom, fear, amusement, delight, joy, enchantment, and regret. One of the things independent games ask us to do is accept that a three-minute game can be as valid as a thirty-hour one. Games like these make it hard to disagree." - Joseph Bernstein, Buzzfeed "Krillbite Studio, the developers behind Among The Sleep, have gone on and released a most polished, visually stunning and freeware new game" - Konstantinos Dimopoulos, "Krillbite's The Plan is a short, sharp experimental deliberation on the meaning of life." - Andy Chalk, The Escapist

Steam marketplace comparison data

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026
  • Lowest observed: Free
  • Highest observed: Free

The Plan's USD price history spans from Sep 22, 2026 to Sep 22, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is Free, the highest is Free, and the first visible tracked price is Free. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

The Plan's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free, from Sep 22, 2026 through Sep 22, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at Free. The latest run records Free for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: Free
  • Current list price: Free
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records The Plan at Free in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
