  From mystery to coziness: Log Away out now

  If you have played Saint Kotar, Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask, or Saint Kotar: The Crawling Man, you know we care deeply about atmosphere, emotion, and the quiet details that stay with you after the story ends. We are sharing Log Away here because we believe the same community that enjoys intense, haunting journeys also deserves a place to rest between them.Log Away is a different kind of experience. It is a cozy game about stepping out of the noise and into a personal retreat. You travel to peaceful destinations, build your own log cabin, and then furnish and decorate it with a wide variety of items. There are no time limits pushing you forward and no pressure to play a certain way. The goal is simple: create a space that feels like yours, and let the calm do its work.As you settle in, your retreat grows warmer and more complete. You will unlock new items over time, including special keepsakes that add a gentle sense of discovery. Some of these are accompanied by backstories that are gently narrated, turning your collection into a quiet thread of meaning that rewards patience and presence rather than speed.If Saint Kotar gave you tension, Log Away can give you release. It is a place to unwind, to create without stress, and to return to yourself when modern life feels too loud. If that sounds like the kind of balance you have been craving, you can visit the Log Away store page and wishlist it or add it to your library.

  Highlights Log Away release date moved to Coming Soon We're adding new items, making gameplay tweaks, optimizing, and fixing bugs https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/36323968/871689a5b6298c74fe6d0cbf918f96e4f6d0bb90.png Coming Soon Goodbye August, hello Coming Soon.

Porches will definitely increase the coziness of your log cabin. https://clan.fastly.steamstatic.com/images/36323968/c5d168e6ed4665b9b19660b02decc98d8e26b93b.png As players, you need a smooth and intuitive gameplay experience. It's a fundamental principle for all video games, but it's especially important for Log Away, which aims to provide a relaxing experience. That's why we're tweaking several small details, such as the controls, the user interface, and how you build and interact with the environment. Last but not least, we're optimizing the game to run as smoothly as possible on older configurations, plus the dreaded task of all - searching for and removing bugs. To sum up. It's a lot of work, but most of these tasks started a few weeks back, so we're really getting close to the finish line. Don't forget to follow and add the game to your wish list! https://store.steampowered.com/app/3468400/Log_Away/ Stay tuned for the release date announcement!

  Presenting Log Away: A Cozy Sandbox Game

  The-Mark Entertainment (developer of Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask, formerly known as Red Martyr) proudly presents Log Away!Log Away is a cozy sandbox game where you build, furnish, and decorate your dream cabin amid nature’s beauty, from shores to mountain peaks, across varied seasons and weather. Your creativity has no limits, and neither do your time or resources, as the ultimate goal is simply enjoying and relaxing in solitude.A Much Different GameAs you might have already noticed, Log Away is a much different game from Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask: different genre, different mood and vibe, completely different mechanics. But just like Saint Kotar, there is a message this game tries to convey to the players, although, again, a different one. Log Away grew out on the back of every day, modern life. We all feel the stress, have too much responsibilities, and too little time for ourselves. Log Away's message and goal for the player is to slow down a bit to rekindle with their inner self while building a cabin in solitude, surrounded only by nature and pets. Nothing in the game is urgent and anything is possible within the sandbox setting. Honestly, it's been doing wonder for us during the countless hours of playtesting, and so we truly hope it succeeds for the wider audience across the globe.Play The Demo, Wishlist The Full GameSteam's popular Next Fest has started, and Log Away is participating. Download it for free, enjoy, and add to your wish list the full game. The demo is much smaller, as it has a limited number of items, locations, interests, and tools at disposal, but it gives a nice glimpse at the gameplay and the relaxing vibe of the game.More DetailsLog Away might be a simple game to play, but it features hundreds of items, a dozen locations, and many tools (which we call " the cozy tools") that allow you to personalize every moment as you play it. The game combines cozy building sandbox gameplay with decorating, furnishing, and unpacking mechanics. A fan ...

  Red Martyr is Now The-Mark

  This update has little to do with Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask, but it's related and informative to avoid potential confusion in the future. The big news is that we've rebranded the company! Red Martyr Entertainment, the creator of Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask, is now The-Mark Entertainment. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38338221/eedd3a8f613f932876990b24b103a802a120db41.jpg We didn't sell the company, nothing has changed in that regard; it is still 100% owned by its original founder. The founder is the CEO and Creative Director, just like he was during the development of Saint Kotar: The Yellow Mask and the full game Saint Kotar. Rebranding the company wasn't the only thing we did. We're growing in numbers, we moved into a much larger office, and we're currently working on 2 new projects!
