Evaluation

Sound of Horses launched into Early Access on November 28, 2025, with Episode 1 (Homeland) as its playable content. The game is explicitly designed to grow throughout Early Access, with three additional story episodes planned: Episode 2 – The Forest Guard, Episode 3 – The Mystery of Draconia, and Episode 4 – The Land of the Eagle. All future episodes are included at no extra cost for players who already own the game. The two-person team (Lola & Anders at Vanilla Sky Productions AB) has been consistently communicating since launch, shipping updates regularly and posting developer news throughout the Early Access period. On June 24, 2026, the developers published an important update: their original plan to release Episodes 2–4 separately during Early Access was changed. Working on Episode 2, they realized that developing all remaining episodes together would produce a better experience and reduce the overhead of per-episode releases across multiple platforms. As a result, the remaining episodes will now be released as one complete package rather than incrementally. This means a longer wait before new story content arrives, but all existing owners will still receive it at no additional cost. On August 25, 2026 — the most recent developer communication — the team confirmed that development work continued throughout the summer and that they are now working more intensively, with the world, characters, and adventure gradually taking shape. This is the latest in a steady stream of developer updates, confirming the studio is active and committed to completing the game.

Evidence

Developers confirm work continued throughout the summer and they are now working more intensively on the remaining episodes. Lola & Anders express gratitude and reaffirm their commitment to finishing the game.

About this game

Sound of Horses is a story-driven horseback adventure that grows over time during Early Access.

Your journey begins in the peaceful Homeland and slowly leads into something deeper.

Create your own rider and horse, explore open landscapes filled with everyday life and quiet mysteries, and meet memorable characters who shape your journey.

What’s included in Episode 1

Episode 1 introduces the world of Sound of Horses and tells a complete opening chapter of the story, where everyday life on horseback gradually leads into the first unfolding mystery.

It offers approximately 6–7 hours of story-driven gameplay, with additional time for exploration depending on playstyle.

About the remaining episodes

The remaining episodes are currently planned to be released together as part of the full version, continuing the story and expanding the world.

Everyone who already owns the game will receive Episodes 2 to 4 at no additional cost.

The final price is currently planned to be around $24.99 USD.

The journey ahead

Starting with Episode 2: The Forest Guard, the story begins to cross over into the Other Side, a parallel world shaped by forgotten secrets and ancient forces.

From that point on, your journey will move between two worlds:

the familiar routines of Homeland, and the strange, shifting paths of what lies beyond.

Even as you’re drawn deeper into the unknown, life in Homeland continues, asking for your time, your choices, and your care.

Along the way, you’ll discover the unique horse cultures of each region, each with its own traditions, breeds, and competitions.
