Umigame Studios is a small Turkish developer founded in 2024 that released the short horror visual novel Dissolution of the Silent Union on PC and Mac. The studio has since given its own account of the game's mixed-media visual style.
Umigame Studios, a small Turkish developer founded in 2024, 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, and it costs 395 yen with a 10 percent discount to 355 yen until August 12. It supports five languages including Japanese.
The game's main feature is a collage-like visual style mixing hand-drawn illustrations, photographs, and pixel art. The Steam store page says that style draws on brutalism architecture and liminal spaces. Players interfere with a distorted reality to uncover why the girls' quiet bond began to break, and 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.
Coverage diverges on the release date. The August 4 story says the game launched on July 28, while the later October 5 interview says it was released for PC and Mac on July 29. In that interview, team member Fatma Berfin said the game layers 2D anime illustrations over raw photographs and live-action footage, trapping the two young women in a time-stopped school. Berfin handled video production and photography and cited David Lynch's films and Eastern European imagery as influences. The studio also releases work on Steam and itch.io, and an earlier browser and Windows version of the game is available on itch.io.
