“After five years of working on this game, we are very excited to finally be able to share our trailer and to announce that the game is very close to release. While we don’t have an official date just yet, I can say that we are not just looking into 2021, but probably at a very early release in 2021,” says Ben Shmuelof, Capricia co-founder and the game’s producer. “The game is already completely playable, the music has been recorded, and we are now focused on the last stages of polishing, bug-fixing, and some technical things. While I’m obviously biased to just how great the game is, I can say that I couldn’t be more proud of our team and that I believe we have truly created something that has never been seen before. It’s new. It’s weird. It’s bold. I’m pretty sure gamers and heavy music lovers have never experienced anything like this.”
