    Oceanhorn Comes To Steam March 17Th!



    We have been working on something special these couple of months and now Oceanhorn is destined to debut on Steam March 17th 2015!

    http://store.steampowered.com/app/339200/

    Oceanhorn's Steam version will be a completely remastered version of the game, a huge graphical and technical overhaul, that makes the game more suitable for bigger screens and more powerful hardware.

    Expanding to new horizons

    The game has been redesigned for physical controls and it plays great whether you wish to play it with mouse / keyboard or with a gamepad!

    All of the game's graphical assets have been tweaked for the PC platform. We added four times more polygons, sharper textures, normal maps, detail objects and new lighting effects such as dynamic ambient occlusion, soft shadows and realtime reflections to make Oceanhorn look stunning when played in 4K resolution.


    Ambient Occlusion makes the cave entrance look darker

    We have also read every review and feedback out there to improve the original game all around. We have remastered puzzles and taken care of spots that felt confusing or unfair for the players.

    There are some new items in the shop that will hit the nail with people's demands. Second Chance Potion might be expensive, but you will be lucky to have it in a boss fight and Mana Refill Potion will be a priceless possession in Frozen Palace. What could be the function of the Ancient Arcadian Radar, though?

    Overall, we are pretty damn happy with the outcome of this definitive version of Oceanhorn and we are truly honored to welcome the Steam audience to enjoy the adventures at Uncharted Seas!
