About the Game

A HEIST GONE WRONG

It was supposed to be simple: Infiltrate a private island paradise, steal a priceless piece of art, and get out alive. Now look at you: Lost inside a dream, inside a dream, inside a dream. How did you get here? Who built this place? And how do you escape?

LOST INSIDE A DREAM

  • Explore the open world freely either on foot, by motorboat, or via paraglider

  • Collect notes, read emails, steal; do anything that will get you off the islands

  • Defend yourself against security bots with automatic weapons

  • Complete first-person platforming puzzles

  • No hand-holding; find your way without map markers or quest logs

OH JACKIE, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE...

SERPENT AT THE VERNISSAGE is an open-world adventure set in an abandoned island paradise, where nothing is quite what it seems. Explore forgotten villas, sentient art pieces and sunken opera houses. And find your way back home before the archipelago swallows you whole.

PLEASE NOTE: CONTROLLERS ARE SUPPORTED, BUT KEYBOARD & MOUSE IS RECCOMENDED. ALSO: PLEASE EXCUSE THE OCCASIONAL SHADER STUTTER. THANK YOU!
