Vertpaint Games has released a gameplay teaser and documentary for its highly anticipated horror adventure game, Ritual Tides, set to launch on PC in Q3 2025 and consoles shortly after. The documentary provides a behind-the-scenes look at the game's development, showcasing its eerily stunning landscapes and grotesque inhabitants, promising near photo-realistic immersion.

Ritual Tides is being developed by a talented team of avid gamers and horror fans who aim to disrupt the stagnating AAA space. The game's CEO and Creative Director, James Macleod, stated that the team wants to prove that what matters is the dedication, love, and respect a team has for its project and vision.

The game is not for the faint of heart, as the team is not pulling any punches, and it will be exceedingly dark. While not everyone will like the game's direction, Vertpaint Games encourages players to join their Discord and get involved in the development process.

Vertpaint Studios, an independent game developer specializing in concept art, 2D and 3D modeling, animation rigging, gameplay programming, and tool programming, founded Vertpaint Games. The studio is committed to bringing players distinctive and extraordinary experiences. Industry legend and Director Jonathan Berube has praised the team, referring to them as "The seal team of game development."
