Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Oct 9

Umigame Studios released Dissolution of the Silent Union on Steam on July 28, 2026, with a July 29 release for PC and Mac covering the same launch. The short horror visual novel follows Vera and Lena, two girls trapped in the final day of a closed high school, exploring the building toward a promised place while the school's everyday scenery hides strange noise and anomalies. The game supports five languages including Japanese and costs 395 yen; a 10 percent discount to 355 yen ran until August 12. A version of the game was already available on itch.io for browser and Windows.

Two stories describe the same audience draw. The Steam page says the collage style mixes hand-drawn illustrations, photographs, and pixel art, drawing on brutalism architecture and liminal spaces. In a later interview, team member Fatma Berfin said the game layers 2D anime illustrations over raw photographs and live-action footage, and cited David Lynch's films and Eastern European imagery. Berfin handled video production and photography. The visual approach is a stated creative choice, not a marketing line.

Interest in the game is documented in two numbers. Its wishlist count passed 15,000 before release, and the developer interview ranked among Game Spark's five most-read articles for September 18 to 24, 2026. Umigame Studios is a small Turkish developer founded in 2024. Its earlier browser and Windows version on itch.io predates the Steam launch, and it continues to release work on Steam and itch.io.

Dissolution of the Silent Union Horror Visual Novel Launches on Steam

Umigame Studios released Dissolution of the Silent Union on Steam on July 28, 2026. The short horror visual novel follows two girls, Vera and Lena, trapped in the final day of a closed high school. The pair explore the building together, heading toward a promised place. The school's everyday scenery hides strange noise and anomalies. Players interfere with a distorted reality to uncover why the girls' quiet bond began to break. The story unfolds through monologue, fading memories, and information left in the background. Multiple endings loop back on each other, and seeing one ending unlocks the next layer of a hidden truth. The game's main feature is a collage-like visual style mixing hand-drawn illustrations, photographs, and pixel art. The Steam store page says this style draws from brutalism architecture and liminal spaces. Umigame Studios is a small Turkish developer founded in 2024. It releases work on Steam and itch.io, and an earlier browser and Windows version of the game is available on itch.io. The game costs 395 yen, with a 10 percent discount to 355 yen until August 12. It supports five languages including Japanese.
