Fading Serenades
Fading Serenades is a cozy top-down courier game from solo developer Bernie Wick, blending the charm of classic action-adventures with modern indie storytelling.
Players strap on an ever-too-small backpack and set out across Clifford’s Island, delivering parcels and oddities to its eccentric inhabitants. Parcels must be managed carefully — damage or overloading makes traversal harder. Along the way, islanders reveal themselves: distant at first, but slowly opening up as trust builds.
Movement is tactile and varied — running, climbing, balancing, and jumping — all made trickier by the weight of your pack. Beneath the cozy charm lies a deeper story about vanishing traditions, a missing scientist, and the allure of a quieter life in a futuristic, noisy world.
Launching October 23, 2025 for Windows and macOS via Steam, Fading Serenades offers a heartfelt adventure wrapped in big pixels and small-town warmth.
