Silent Læke is leaving the woods for the weekend.

Newborn Games will be at Rolisboa '26, with our own booth and copies of Demon Ninja and Asilo available for purchase.

But for Silent Læke backers, there's another reason to come say hello.

If you backed Silent Læke at the Killer, Homecoming Queen or Homecoming King level, your pledge includes a physical copy of Dusk's Embrace.

Normally, that copy would ship together with the rest of your physical rewards in 2027.

But if you happen to be in Lisbon and come to Rolisboa... you can pick it up right now.

Just come to the Newborn Games booth, tell me your BackerKit username, and I'll check you off the list and hand you your copy.

No need to wait for the lake to come to you.

And yes, I'll happily sign it if you'd like me to. 😉

You can still take Dusk's Embrace home.

Physical copies will be available at the booth for €25, whether you're a Silent Læke backer at another pledge level or someone who completely missed the campaign.

Dusk's Embrace is a standalone prequel to Silent Læke, so you can already start playing.

All you need besides the book is a regular deck of playing cards.

No need to wait for the full game.

Even if you don't want to buy or pick up anything, please come by.
Seriously.

Come talk to me about Silent Læke.

Ask about the mechanics.

Ask about production.

Ask when things are coming.

Ask about something weird you noticed in Dusk's Embrace.

Take a photo.

Get your magazine signed.

Or just introduce yourself and tell me your BackerKit username so I can finally put a face to one of the names I've been seeing for months.

That's part of the fun of doing this in person.

Development hasn't stopped either.

Book of Threads is currently undergoing an intense round of proofreading and refinement. My readers and I are going through the mechanics carefully, improving both the clarity of the rules and the language used to explain them.

Meanwhile, I'm writing Book of Whispers — the People, Places and Stuff of Silent Læke, and the final Book of Part I: To Everyone Who Conquers.

And there's more artwork coming.

I've already approved the sketches for Ludmilla V.'s chapter divider illustrations, and if everything continues according to plan, I hope to have another glimpse of Silent Læke to show you within the next few weeks.

But that's a story for another update.

For now...

The Newborn Games booth will be waiting.

And so will I.

See you there.

Or, as always...
