Beyond the Curtains

A quiet window, now part of a cozy autumn lineup Beyond the Curtains has been selected for Companion Falls for You — a Steam event celebrating desktop companion games — chosen from nearly 500 submissions. The event runs for one week, and we're honoured to sit alongside so many games made simply to keep someone company. If this is your first time here Beyond the Curtains is a cozy idle game about watching the world through a window. No tutorials. No quests. No goals to chase. Poke at the hourglass, at passersby, at the little things around the room — or do nothing at all, and just watch people go by. Time only moves forward when you press nap. Linger in a single moment as long as you like. Nothing here is missable, and nothing is in a hurry. The Last Leaf — heartwarming daily life in a small town Scenic Tour — travel by train through changing landscapes and local food Gravekeeper — a resting place for souls, where emotions linger at life's end {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44780282/dfd682bc8ca301f879e32f0979fb650eb20b06ce.png It can sit in the corner of your screen You can scale the window to whatever size suits you, and keep it always on top — small, off to one side, still open while you do something else. Someone walks past now and then. Nothing asks anything of you. It's simply there whenever you glance over, which is, we think, what the word companion actually means. The demo is available now You can try Beyond the Curtains today — the demo is right here on the store page. And if this window earns a corner of your desktop, adding it to your wishlist genuinely helps a small team like ours. Thank you to IndieLab and Mister Morris Games for hosting, and thank you for stopping by. Here's a window that's always sunny, just for you :)

Good afternoon, everyone!Today I'd like to share some thoughts on localization — and also touch on the release timeline.Last month, after submitting the game for platform review, we received a notice that the game was not supporting the languages listed on its store page. So we took a closer look at what might have been missing.This game has very little text — outside of the shop interface labels like "Purchased" and "None," it's essentially just the menu and the theme names.That's when it struck us: players in Asian markets often seem quite comfortable with English UI elements. Words like START and RESET feel natural — but rendering them as 「開始」and 「リセット」 can sometimes feel... a little stiff?Then there are the theme names. The Last Leaf and Scenic Tour — translating these into local languages feels like it comes down to personal taste.Have any of your non-English-speaking friends ever mentioned how they feel about it?We'll post another update here when there's news on the release date.

Yesterday was Qingming - a day when families across EastAsia visit the graves of their ancestors.A cemetery that's silent for 364 days fills, just once a year, with the sound of the living. Maybe that's what the departed still do for us: draw us back together.Beyond the Curtains - Theme 3: The Gravekeeper. This is the one window that only appears once time.We're currently refining this theme's content. A demo update is coming soon — stay tuned.
