In these troubling times we hope that we can take today as an opportunity to remember how crucial it is for us to care for each other. Share values, art, love, education, food, and shelter.
In the warmth of our communities, we will always find a way forward.
Thank you for being part of ours.
Abroad, people are facing famine and genocide as the empire's claws of colonization expand and dig deep.
At home here in the US, many fear for their safety traveling to visit their families and struggle to put food on the table at all.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate from us at Art Thief.
While we gather with our families around tables of food to share our gratitude and care for each other and what we have, it grows increasingly difficult to embrace this holiday and its violent past and present.
The home we must rebuild: Zea
In Audionaut, players are tasked with rescuing the satellite, Eurydice. Her healing song, when harmonized with, might heal the shattered planet.
This must be done quickly; rumor has it that shadows at the world's core may threaten her very existence.

An image of a purple elf with white hair wearing a plain black spacesuit with a red mask and cape, as well as some silver plating. In her hand, she's holding a dagger that looks like a tuning fork. Text to the right reads: "Szkava Kataskan Assassin - Daughter of a noble family on Pallas - More charitable than other Kataskans - Always listening - Aloof but sentimental"
Introducing our first character from Audionaut, Szkava!
Szkava is a Kataskan assassin charged with trading intel with the player when they arrive on Pallas.
In doing so, she may learn her people aren't as safe on the outskirts of the solar system as she thought...
