ABOUT SONDER & TEAM

Why hello there, fellow exploration game fans! :3

The developers behind SONDER are a bunch of friends from Austria (Europe - ...no, not the one with the kangaroos! :) ) who continue developing this game in their spare time. Originally, we started this game as our master project, exploring the depths of knowledge-based progression systems in video games, being a case study for cozy post-apocalyptic environments, and delving into sound design in time manipulated settings. Feel free to reach out and chat with us! =D We’d love to hear about you and your ideas! <3

We're developing SONDER in our spare time, so the release date might be a bit fuzzy. Current roadmap aims for a release this year~ Stay tuned (wishlist SONDER: Embrace The World on Steam and tell your friends about us! It really helps us out ALOT)! ( ~'w')b

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

All developers of SONDER strive for a progressive use of new science & technology. 
We cannot overlook current issues that come with the use of generative artificial intelligence, and the global threats it opposes in:

• the environment

• cybersecurity, data privacy

• politics, misinformation, manipulation, transparency, biased information

• ethics, intellectual property, job market, creativity

Because of this, SONDER does NOT use any type of AI-generated art, meaning that all assets and code (incl. 3D models, 2D art, story, text, marketing material etc.) are self-made.

ゲームについて

SONDER: Embrace The World

WELCOME RESEARCHERS! TIME FLOWS STRANGELY…

EXPLORE, ADAPT, EMBRACE THE WORLD
