Swallow The Blue: Remastered
Released Jan 2021
An eerie horror game set in a weird hotel plagued with bizarre beings and interesting characters. The game utilizes a never-used before environment alongside brand new horror mechanics, one of a kind graphics/art style, and an unnerving story with rich lore to create a unique experience for players.

Evaluation
Swallow The Blue: Remastered launched on January 18, 2021 as a free-to-play psychological horror game, developed solo by one of the Euphoric Brothers. After a bug fix patch on February 4, 2021, the developer's news activity on this game's page shifted entirely toward promoting two separate new games — Human Apocalypse (announced June 2021, released February 2022) and Egghead Gumpty (announced July 2022, released September 2022). Neither of these are updates or expansions for Swallow The Blue. The last post of any kind on this game's news feed was September 5, 2022, and there have been no communications since then. The store description does mention "future plans" for multiple languages, controller support, and console ports, but these appear to be aspirational notes from around launch time and have not been mentioned or revisited in any subsequent developer communication. Given the developer's clear focus on new independent projects since mid-2021, and the complete absence of any update or announcement for this game since September 2022, there is no active development signal. The game launched as a complete, self-contained experience and the developer has moved on to other projects.
Evidence

About me:
I am Faris, one of the Euphoric Brothers. Addicted to creepypastas and making video games, I decided to merge both hobbies into one project, thus, Swallow The Blue was born. I have developed this game completely by myself except for some audio. Oh, and I am also a first-year university student. after releasing a small demo of my previous discontinued game, through the feedback I received, I realized that the graphics and atmosphere are what I should focus on, instead of trying to create an action fast-paced game.
