Hi, guys! Nayru here, one of the two developers from NoBreadStudio. I wanted to introduce you to the second project we've been working on. Just like SoulSet, this one's also of the mystery genre, only with supernatural elements instead of fantasy this time. Check it out and give the demo a try! Any kind of feedback is always welcome!




Summer's here and school's out! Join Kevin and his group of friends as they leave for a much-anticipated trip into the wild outdoors. There will be camping, fishing, hiking... Oh, and campfire stories, of course! But don't believe everything you hear. All the nasty rumors surrounding Wright Lake are surely just that - rumors. Or are they?

Just like every summer, Kevin takes a break from the noise and hustle of big city life. Bringing along a group of close friends, he leaves for a week of cabin camping on the shores of a remote lake, deep in the wilderness. But despite being known for its breathtaking, serene beauty and crystal clear waters, the area also holds a reputation for bizarre, unexplained happenings.
It isn't long before the group begins to discover that there is more to Wright Lake than even the most outlandish campfire stories would suggest...

Content warnings: general mature themes, strong language, use of alcohol, nudity, sexual content.

Hello, everyone! We'd like to share with you a couple of character sketches that came into existence during the early development of the game.


Our very first character designs for WW


Noah's initial design has been through a lot... He had like 10 hair variations before we settled for what he has now


Yes, there is a version of this without the bars


There's something very 70s about Roscoe's and Nick's initial design...

All of these and a lot more will be included in our Whiteheart Woods artbook. You can read the full update on our Kickstarter page!

We have a new trailer! Check it out!
