Hello everyone!
We're happy to announce that after a long wait, that Synergia SUNRISE will finally be out on October 3rd at 12pm EST / 9am PST. This will be accompanied by the Artbook/Comic Art Compendium as well.
This leaked slightly earlier, but this PC release will be accompanied by a NextGen Console iteration as well, as the game was prior never released for PS5 or Xbox Series X. The new variant of the game is native to all consoles in 4K, and contains Sunrise as well as new features such as the artbook, comic, and OST being integrated in-game.
We know it's been a long wait, but we hope that everyone is able to finally enjoy SUNRISE at its official launch. See you there!

Hi everyone!
This is just a quick update in celebration of Synergia's 3rd anniversary. It's hard to believe it's already been so long since the game came out.
In celebration, we have just released a new teaser video in anticipation of Sunrise and the upcoming Art Compendium.

We hope you all enjoy Sunrise when it releases, which is coming VERY soon! We will have more information on a release date soon for everyone.

Hello everyone, just a dropping a message here from the game's creator, Radi.
[quote=Radi]
I just wanted to do this little update to celebrate the first anniversary of Synergia's release. Time flies, and it seems like it was just yesterday when I was finishing the game. Thank you all so much for your continued support during this year.
As an extra piece of information, I recently went back to work full-time on Sunrise to ensure it will be ready for release in 2021. It is progressing nicely.
And that's it! Again, thank you all very much and see you next time!

Hello, everybody. Unfortunately we have some mixed news for you all today. Firstly, after many months of waiting and effort trying to ensure Synergia's Russian and Japanese translations, we have been forced to made the hard decision of putting them into hiatus for the time being. Simply put, the people who were in charge of both translations have not been able to meet the quality requirements we expected, or in some scenarios, have simply not delivered a translation to us at all. Because we had spent our funds for translations prior, and because of that budget being expended with the expectation of these being available at launch (and then again by the first time the game would be on sale), we cannot simply switch to new translators. We would like to sincerely apologize; we are very sorry and we understand if you are disappointed. The developer wanted us to relay that "I more than anyone else (Radi) am sorry that I broke this promise. Synergia's budget has always been quite tight and we have run out of options this time. Again, we are sorry." We will say we are still exploring some options, so it is possible that these translations will come soon in the eventual future - however both these failures as well as the sheer of the script have been setbacks. Right now, we simply cannot guarantee a date due to the issues stemming from these translations. We again apologize for the confusion here. As for the rest of the development, since Radi and Top Hat will be doing all the other aspects of the game, they will be released gradually as they are ready. Radi is currently on pause for health reasons, but will resume working on additional content soon. This will include merchandise, graphical comics, the arbook and of course the free dlc "Sunrise" which all those who own the game will receive. We hope everyone will enjoy the free content in Sunrise, and also that those who are fans of the game will be able to support the game through the additional merchandise planned for sale. We will keep everyone updated on these. We again apologize for the confusion, but want to thank everyone for supporting the game so far. We are very appreciative of everyone who has played, reviewed, and enjoyed the game and hope to continue to receive your support.

Hi everybody, Thank you to all of you for supporting Synergia's launch! Although slightly inconvenienced by server issues on Steam's end during the initial launch period, we're really happy to see the positive reception to the game and so many people enjoying it. We wanted to take a minute to just say that Synergia has now been approved by Valve to have trading cards! These are being drawn up now by Radi Art and we'll let you know as soon as these are available. In addition, we've also been cataloguing the various bugs/mistakes that people have been sharing and fixes for these will be coming. Also, we've been getting many comments regarding the different translations for Synergia. We have been working hard to try and resolve some of the issues that you've pointed out to us. Please find below statements in their respective languages: Regarding the Russian translation, Synergia was meant to launch with this language but we were not provided the script files in time. We are sorry for issues this may have caused; we know many players were looking forward to reading the game in Russian. We are still waiting on the delivery of the translation, and are hoping to have it soon. , , , 3 , ( ), . , , "" . . We'd like to thank you all for your support once again!

Hi everyone, Sorry for so many messages today - we don't mean to bombard everyone following the game. It seems like the issues with Steam have been (mostly) fixed for now and the servers have returned to normal, as the ability to purchase the game has been restored. Although we missed most of the day of sales so far unfortunately, we are happy to say that those who did manage to get through have enjoyed the game. If you were having problems before, we encourage everyone to try again now. If you are enjoying the game, please be sure to leave a review. We realize we are asking a bit here, but every little bit helps. Thank to you to everyone who's stuck on this journey with us - it is unfortunate what occurred earlier but we are hoping to salvage things the best we can. We hope you all enjoy Synergia.
[ 2020-07-27 21:05:28 CET ] [ Original post ]
Hi everyone, We've been receiving unfortunate reports that Steam's servers (or at least servers they rely on) are dying for many people, with a large chunk of people being unable to pay for the game, receiving errors at checkout, or things such as user reviews/discussions just completely out of whack or not updating. This would appear to be some type of failure of Steam's servers, and it is completely out of our control. It is unfortunate that after 4 years of labor, and months of preparation, the game's launch is being hit by this. Until this is resolved, we apologize for any trouble or inconveniences. We know this is a big ask, but if you are having problems, we would appreciate it if you could just bookmark the page and come back later. This is extremely disappointing for us and unfortunately not the first time a Steam error has hindered a launch for us to this scale. We again apologize and hope you will be able to enjoy the game whenever the servers return to normal. Hopefully this will be a short passing thing and will not last the entire day.

Hello everyone!
We are very excited to announce we have an official release date for Synergia!
That's right, in just a little over 2 weeks, Synergia will be released in full on Steam! We are very excited about the July 28th release and to finally share the final game with everyone. Right now the game is virtually complete, and has been approved by Valve. We are just waiting for some final localizations to add to the game. Other than that, the game is fully complete - including Steam Achievements! We've also added numerous improvements to the game which were not prior featured in the demo which were requested by players, such as highlighting portraits in the text box of the character speaking.
We'll see everyone July 28th- and be back leading up to them with some more sneak peaks to share. Thank you to everyone who's supported the game and been following so long!

Hello everyone,
Just a quick update today! We wanted to give everyone a quick update regarding the progress of the game. We are happy to say that the game will be entering into Valve's build review check tonight. The game is virtually done (it is content-complete), and the only thing added between the build review and the release will be additional sound/music and the localization, which is being finished up this month. We are planning to release in English, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
As far as a specific release date goes, we will be releasing mid-end July. We will have a specific date for everyone once the game passes Valve's QA/build check! We are very excited for this development journey to be nearing an end. We hope you all will enjoy the game. In the mean time, we leave you all with this promo art:

Hello everyone!
Time flies - we can't believe that the last update was in February! It feels like it was just yesterday. We wanted to check in today with everyone to give them an update on where development stands at the moment.
We are happy to say that the game is in its last stretch! The script is done and the vast majority of art for the game is now done as well - everything minus some UI art. The game contains an intense amount of artwork - over 100 CGs+BGs, and tons of BGs too! The game is absolutely jam-packed with artwork and we're incredibly excited for you all to see it.
For today we wanted to talk about the release schedule, as the game is nearing completion. While we do not have a date yet (we will check in with that again soon), we are happy to say we are currently eyeing a JULY release date. The game will release in English, Spanish (SPA), Russian, and Simplified Chinese. We are also attempting to get TC and Japanese done in time. If they are done by then, they will be launched additionally as free patches once they are ready. French will come down the line, as will Korean.
So again, we are currently planning to release in JULY. We are incredibly excited to share the game with everyone - thank you to everyone who's stuck around and is looking forward to play the game. We will drop in with another update soon! Thank you!

Hello everyone!
It's been awhile since we've posted an update, and we wanted to drop by and check in development-wise, especially to let everyone know the project is still being worked on; we're currently slated for a late Spring release. At the moment, we've done a lot of work - we'd say the game is approaching the final quarter of development, with us mainly finishing up art and approaching localization. We're excited to share more with everyone; we've been careful not to share too much art though, as we don't want to spoil anything story-wise.
Many people have asked us about localization. We're happy to say that localization-wise, besides the native English & Spanish, we will be localizing the game in Chinese (Simplified + Traditional), Japanese, French, and we are currently looking into Russian as well for those who have requested it.
We also want to thank everyone who has been following Synergia's development.
We'll have more news soon...such as a finalized release date perhaps. B1
Thank you again to everyone who's supported or is looking forward to playing the game!

Synergia is a yuri thriller visual novel that takes place in a cyberpunk future, wrapped up in a beautifully unique, vibrant neon aesthetic. At the end of the world, sometimes love is the ultimate crime.
Story
Cila, a veteran cop with a sour outlook and anger issues expects nothing more from life besides the smell of ozone, blinding neon lights and the ever-present manhole steam. At least, until a shady friend replaces her broken-down housedroid as a favor. Advanced, more efficient and remarkably perceptive, unit M.A.R.A. begins to penetrate Cila's toughened exterior and possibly even heal her new owner's old wounds – if Cila can decipher the recurring nightmare the process brings. Soon Cila and Mara forge a unique - if sometimes uneasy - bond. Unbeknownst to Cila, just as her life begins to find its new normal, the technological giant Velta Labs gets wind of Mara's existence and takes a mysterious interest in the android. A war unlike any before it is brewing on the horizon, its players are silently being selected and one android's fate may spell the difference between peace, war, the blossoming of a new religion, or a technological singularity beyond comprehension.
Features
