    "No innocent shall go hungry." Here's the first double-sided teaser poster of our upcoming game.
    Etel gazes at the voyeur with an expression of apathy and interest. Blood trickles down her chin. The vertical text reads “BLOOD BECKONS”.
    A woman peeks through a door left ajar. Fear and curiosity dampen her eye. A thin crack, like lightning, snakes across the image.

    Blood Beckons is a 2D, narrative-driven, gothic horror game where your choices will pit you against your own sanity. As desire drips, drips, drips into survival, Elanor's fate is in your hands. Mould it carefully and let her story consume you. Read our open letter here:
    An open letter from Great Seal Studios addressing the nature of Blood Beckons: 

Due to the limitations afflicting self-funded indie studios, Blood Beckons draws inspiration from visual novels and will be smaller in scope compared to our future projects. To get there, however, we need to start from scratch. 

That does not mean that our first title is a mere stepping stone. We are passionate about crafting rich story-driven games and very excited to have you experience a world drenched in horror and desire intertwined.

    "Don't be afraid of her teeth, Elanor, for this place may eat you whole long before the end." Our first title, Blood Beckons, is now in early development.

    Due to a heavy handed change in the Online Safety Act, our recent art release has been censored in some countries. Changing your profile's country to outside of the UK/EU will ensure that you can access all of our future content. Not that we're suggesting you do such a thing...

    To-Valand is an archipelago in the Valandi Sea. As the foundation of Valandi wealth is maritime commerce, their vessels are well-constructed for trade and protection. The Valandi are known for their hospitality and melancholic nature – outmatched only by their gods.

    Murva is a rich yet divided country. While the Murvi Civil War brought an era of peace, the tension between the Highlands and the Underearth is palpable in the very air, heavier than Stone itself. This realm of dual chiefdom is dominated by a reluctant yet necessary co-existence.

    The source of Erdom’s wealth and dominance in trade and commerce, however, isn’t its vast forests but the Great Plain that rips through the very core of the country. It is blessed with the most fertile soil of the continent, making it one of the most crucial regions of Venar.
    A hazy sun sets below the Great Plain. Workers carry bundles of hay. A person stares wearily at you in the foreground. People in animal masks dance around a fire in the distance.

    Erdom is Venar’s largest and richest country. After settling down in the Woodlands, the Erdi enjoyed safety and peace over centuries, leading to remarkable progress. Cradled in the arms of the impenetrable Deepwoods, Domonkos is the only capital city that has never been captured.

    Keep your eyes peeled for the first look at our world! #indiegame #gamedev #worldbuilding #fantasy #storytelling
    An open letter from Great Seal Studios announcing that our first game is in very early development. 

We are a small team of friends who have decided to band together and produce art in different forms. In the age of “AI art” this is both a privilege and a necessity. 

In the following weeks, our first project kicks in and we will be steadily introducing you to the world we have been building from scratch over the past years. 

Thank you all for being here with us and we hope to see you on this journey as we unravel far off lands drenched in fantasy, horror, and political turmoil; all forged in blood and sweat. 

With kindness and respect, 
The Great Seal Team

    The realm of Lehel is located in the Western Plains. The study of the sky and the Grand Order are of great importance in Lehelian culture, resulting in a nation of scientists. As knowledge lies at the heart of their society, Lehel is home to Venar’s very first university.

    Most rituals are performed on the Luminous Shores; they are integral to Valandi identity. The early inhabitants were shipwrecked and had lost all navigation, but the dark waves lit aglow, guiding the survivors to land. The Shores are a reminder of their mortality and resilience.

    As the Lehelian saying goes, “The sky is as vast as knowledge itself.” Many believe the phrase originates from early scholars who visited a secluded area where “the Sky met the Earth” and were struck by the sheer presence of the cosmos. They named this wonder the Field of Stars.
    The Field of Stars mirrors the constellations in the night sky. Two lesbian scholars hold each other in loving embrace as they stargaze. The scholar on the left points up reverently at the cluster of stars, while the one on the right gently grips her partner by the hip and playfully fiddles with a spyglass.
