Today we’re sharing a first little peek into Ino’s Odyssey: an in-world display you’ll see inside the game .

This screen belongs to a cryopod syste, and it’s showing some character data of our main character Ino Anda such as name, profession and Oraxidus Credits. But wait. What are Oraxidus Credits and why does the screen look like it’s running on duct tape and bad decisions?

We love moments like this because they tell you something about the world without a single line of dialogue, because nothing says “welcome to space” like a system screen on a shabby display calmly listing your vitals while you’re frozen like a popsicle.

Visually, this is also a small milestone for us: it’s part of establishing the game’s UI language and tone, which is of course 100% handmade by human artists .

If you’d like to support development and get a closer look behind the scenes, our Patreon gives you access to early content and extras that won’t be available anywhere else .

More early visuals are on the way as we continue building the world around Ino and whatever exactly Ino is waking up into. Until then: enjoy the first glimpse and stay tuned 👽.

We’re excited to officially announce Ino’s Odyssey – our brand-new indie game project 🚀.

We’ve now entered pre-production. After months of ideas, sketches, and prototypes we’re kicking off the planning phase: shaping the story structure, locking in the art direction, building our pipelines and laying the technical foundation that will carry the project through full production.

Ino’s Odyssey is a space-set visual novel that drifts between moods and realities: sometimes dystopian, sometimes utopion, sometimes spooky – but always humor-forward at heart. It’s designed to be inclusive 🏳️‍🌈, welcoming and full of personality: a story you can sink into, with characters and moments crafted with genuine warmth.

Artisticall, we’re of course committed to handmade digital art, so you can be sure that every illustration, asset and piece of visual storyelling is 100% drawn with love by humans and no AI. We want Ino’s Odyssey to feel lovingly built, intentional and unmistakably personal.

Curious? Your help is needed and highly appreciated. if you’d like to help make this journey possible, follow us and consider supporting the project. You find us on Patreon, ko-fi and (unfortunately) even on paypal (sorry, we know who’s behind this company, but we really need the help – but hey, at least we do not use X).

We’ll be sharing more as development continues – including deeper looks at the story, characters, art and the universe we’re building. Thanks for being here at the start of the journey .
