Hello everyone,

We're CASCHA GAMES.

Today, we're incredibly excited to finally share something we've been working on for a long time.

Otherealm, the newest title in the Parallel series, has officially been revealed.

[dynamiclink href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/4598530/_/"]

Before anything else, we'd like to say one simple thing:

Thank you.

Whether you've been with us since Ghost in the Pool, joined us through Concealed, or discovered the series with Weirdo, every purchase, review, wishlist, screenshot, discussion, and piece of feedback has helped us continue making the games we love.

Because of your support, the Parallel series has continued to grow—and today, we're finally ready to begin its next chapter.


Otherealm is still part of the Parallel universe.

But rather than simply continuing the series, we see it as the beginning of a new stage for Parallel.

While staying true to the suspenseful storytelling that defines the series, Otherealm also marks our biggest gameplay evolution so far.

For the first time, we've expanded beyond a traditional visual novel into a Japanese-style adventure game, combining environmental exploration, investigation, puzzle solving, survival sequences, and meaningful branching choices.

Our goal is simple:

To make you feel like you're truly trapped inside a mysterious, ever-changing school where every decision matters.

Today, the Steam store page for Otherealm is officially live, together with our first teaser trailer, screenshots, and additional game information.

If you've enjoyed any of our previous games, we'd be truly grateful if you could add Otherealm to your Steam Wishlist.

For an indie team like ours, every single wishlist genuinely matters.

Not only does it help more players discover the game, but it also gives us the motivation to keep making Otherealm the best game it can be.


Our current plan is to launch the full game in the second half of 2027.

Before then, we're aiming to release our first public demo in early September, followed by participation in Steam Next Fest this October.

Over the coming months, we'll continue sharing development updates, behind-the-scenes stories, and a closer look at the world of Otherealm.

If you'd like to follow the game's development more closely, we'd also love to have you join our official Discord server or QQ community.

Many of the improvements made throughout the Parallel series came directly from conversations with players, and we hope Otherealm will continue to grow together with its community.


Otherealm isn't the end of Parallel.

It's the beginning of a whole new chapter.

Thank you for staying with us throughout this journey.

We can't wait to welcome you into Otherealm.

Welcome to Otherealm.
