We are excited to share our current progress with FOQUES! This build was showcased at @IGFestUK with @Tranzfuser! We were incredibly happy with the reception from the public! Stick around for future updates!
For Day 1 of Seven Days of Kari, we present the banner that won a competition hosted in our discord server made by the lovely Kit!
Stick around for next Saturday, at midday, to find out what we’ve been cooking up…

TVM Studios is upgrading to TVM Games- and with that comes two more for the coven!
We have taken in Twisted Anatomy, a new studio made with prior TVM members and new faces, and Ashmoth, a local Norwich games duo working on their pilot game.
DEVSPOTTER: EP6 @TVM_studios:
This week we sat down with Mori from The Vampires Manor, an indie studio out of the UK building their first title - FOQUES.
FOQUES is an artistic survival horror where you play as Kari, an arctic fox trying to escape an eldritch bio-horror known as The Stain. Set in a near-future Canada, the game blends stealth and survival as you evade creatures twisted into abstract monsters, all while exploring themes of compassion, community, and trust. With its oil-painted, baroque-inspired aesthetic and influences from Okami, Stray, and Resident Evil, FOQUES promises a haunting 12-hour narrative that’s as emotionally moving as it is terrifying.

Thank you to those that joined us and played the latest version of FOQUES!
We are continuing with development using feedback from past events and newfound workflows and pipelines!
Norwich alone has so much talent in the likes of Newfangled Games, @H_Moon_Games, and @TeamDuckySnacks, and is truly turning into an indie studio hub!
Thank you so so much for your continued support, and with any luck, we will have more good news about FOQUES soon!
