Hey all~
Our little indie studio, Ithaqua Labs, just released a new game to Steam!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/817860/Perceptions_of_the_Dead_2/

It's a goofy, spooky story that follows a live-streamer in her search for a ghost hunter.

It features a few familiar voices from the Book of Gray Magic series that you may recognize, as well as lovely music from Johnathan Johnson.

With this game release, we hope to spend some time going back to Brilliant Shadows and Pale Spectrum and doing a bit of maintenance in the coming months, so stay tuned!

Some fun new Ash art just in time for the sale!

Hey everybody, we here at Ithaqua Labs have a new, free visual novel that you can play here on Steam.

Perceptions of the Dead
A light horror/comedy story.
You can play it for free here!

The first thing you need to know is that ghosts are real.
The rest, you can only learn on your own.

Follow three stories set in a world where the dead linger, and things far worse wait beyond the veil.

It has a few voices from the Book of Gray Magic that you guys might recognize!

Since it was met with great approval here on Steam, we've launched a Kickstarter for Part 2 to fund the voice acting for the game.
