  He Who Watches is OUT NOW!

  Hey there!We have some important news to share from us at Draknek & Friends! We're excited to announce that, in collaboration with solo developer Bobby Vanden (as Danga Games), our first-person puzzle game He Who Watches is OUT NOW on Steam and itch.io! To celebrate the game’s release, we’ve made a special ‘talky’ launch trailer! The gravity-shifting in our game can be a little overwhelming, so we thought we should make something a little different. This 'explainer' trailer has voice-over from the game’s solo-developer Bobby Vanden, discussing the game. It’s very different from our usual gameplay-heavy trailers! You can watch this special launch trailer below or click here.We hope you enjoy the game! If you do, please consider leaving a review on Steam. It really helps the game reach other players who would also enjoy this mind-bending gravity-shifting puzzle adventure. Thank you to everyone who has supported the game during development, and we sincerely hope you love the game.Thanks again,Draknek & Friends
