Terrified to announce that Parasensor's demo is OUT NOW ON STEAM 📣😱
Become telecom technician Marisol and explore our freaky Footscray-inspired quarantine zone.
1 demo play = 1 flower for artist @unseconds.bsky.social who we suspect hasn't smelt a flower yet this spring :')

Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow is a modern example of a JRPG which challenges the preconceived notions of the genre, and there is no need to wait ten years to retroactively praise it as a good game if we can do so right now: ogrerun.com/2026/10/06/q...
Qliphah in Providence’s Shadow and the Weird New JRPG
What makes Qlipah bold is not strictly its combination of genres but how those genres are combined

The artwork of Romancing SaGa 3 by Tomomi Kobayashi used on the back cover of the remastered OST and as part of a post card set, albeit with a different color tone. Most likely it was used for other stuff as well. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.
