Occlude, our game of occult solitaire is available right now on Steam, and we've saved you a seat at the table.

Come. Play. Try, fail. Undo your mistakes. Try, succeed.

Then break the world.



If you played the demo you will have seen only a few of the game's Rituals, but now you can unlock all seven in game.

Each of the seven Rituals steadily increase in difficulty, revealing more about the world of Occlude as you unlock the multiple endings, Objects and Documents.

We have two game modes to offer: The fiendishly difficult Classic Mode and less tricky but still challenging Story Mode.

We're very proud of what we've made with Occlude. We hope you find it pleasantly frustrating, terrifyingly illuminating, and morbidly triumphant in that exact order.

We can't wait to see you disappear down the rabbit hole...

Greetings and pleasantries.

In case you didn't know: every month, Pantaloon[www.pantaloon.io] partners with developers of bold and bizarre games, we put them up on our little pedestal, and we give that game to subscribers of our newsletter[www.pantaloon.io] via a little draw.

This month, for example, we've partnered with Thunderful and Stormteller Games on Lost in Random: The Eternal Die. As one of 2025's most notable roguelikes, we're particularly excited about this one.



Keys drop into inboxes on July 31st, and we'll be doing some cool bits and bobs over the course of the month.

What've we got next month? Well, you'll have to wait and see.

Ok, as you were x

The sun is shining, a light breeze blows through your hair, and there are ice-cool games for refreshment.

As part of the Steam Summer sale, we've boshed 25% off our narrative puzzler Sub-Verge, and 80% (!) off our natural language narrative ARG Acolyte.

Or, of course, you could pick up BOTH games in the Deep Conversation Bundle with 58% off.

What a time to be alive.

Ok, as you were.

It is three days before the start of Steam Next Fest. In less than 72 hours, you will be able to play Tributary Games' Occlude for the very first time, in an exclusive pre-release demo.

While the Occlude demo might not be here just yet, it's mysteries are being unravelled across a dense and sprawling ARG investigation that is happening RIGHT NOW, and the case is yours to take on, should you wish.



Want to catch up on the case? We've collated all the Evidence so far for you:

Start here[table.pantaloon.io].

The Evidence so far:

Open the Door in the Rain[www.pantaloon.io]
Seven Cards. Seven Entities (The Investigation Begins)
Do they call to us, from the other side of the rain?
Endings as beginnings, and beginnings as endings.
...and there is more Evidence still be found.

You can join the Discord to discuss theories and talk with others who are up to speed on the investigation in a more spoiler-free form here[discord.com].



Good luck, investigator. We look forward to putting Occlude into your hands on Monday June 9th. Until then, then.

Hark! 📣

It’s a big day for Pantaloon and our plucky new publishing label.

Today we’ve launched Interactive Tragedy’s Sub-Verge into LudoNarraCon, bringing the game to Steam with a bit of narrative-fanfare.



https://store.steampowered.com/app/3487020/SubVerge/

Sub-Verge is a small game, but does some ambitious things on the narrative front, tying its puzzle-logic to character motivations and the wider world state.

Three cool things for you!

🎮 Our Steam page is currently Broadcasting a full playthrough of the game from Raygan and Laura over at the Short Game Podcast. Go have a watch!

🤿 We’ve also partnered with Gareth Damian Martin (Citizen Sleeper) and Fellow Traveller to bring you the Sub-Verge x In Other Waters bundle, where you can get two watery-themed games in one discounted package.

⛵ Similarly, we’ve also partnered with the very lovely Wispfire for the High Seas, Deep Oceans Bundle, where you can get Sub-Verge with Herald: Complete Edition.

--

Sub-Verge is a small, weird misfit of game, and we're honoured that Interactive Tragedy has trusted us to bring it to market.

We have a huge favour to ask before signing off: if you like what we do here, or you’ve ever received a key in one of our monthly partnerships - please consider leaving a review of the game. This helps us immeasurably, and we will not forget your support 🙏

Ok, as you were x
