Dear inhabitants of the caves, here's Anselm, creator of The Longing. As some of you might already know, The Longing took me over 4 years to make. After it was finished, I was sure that the next project would turn out much smoother... in a way I was right, but also very wrong. Long story short, Lucky Tower Ultimate has just been released, after spending over 5 years in production, from which 1.5 y...

Dear inhabitants of the caves, Due to high demand for the original plushie, Makeship was kind enough to bring it back, again for a limited time only. They also started a campaign for new enamel pins of the Shade. Personally, I like the small pin of the Shade very much! The shipping for the pins is also a lot cheaper, in case you only want those. Here are the links for the campaigns:

Dear cave inhabitants, it has been some time since we released a maintenance update, for testing is always a complicated affair with this game. There have been a lot of small bug fixes accumulated over the last years, especially since the game was released for mobile devices and we optimised it for touch input. We also improved the anti-cheat and got rid of the online-only constraint. Now the game...

Hello folks, as many of you have noticed, Studio Seufz has been working on a new game for a few years now. For anyone interested, I'll talk a bit about what I and the studio have been up to: First off, The Longing was a very personal project of mine, where I handled all the game design, dialogues and (almost all) art exclusively. However, since the founding day of the studio we've had plans to mak...

Dear inhabitants of the caves, I received many demands to make a new plushie. Today is the day! The new one is almost the same as the old plushie, with one major change: It's the happy version of the Shade, sporting its trademark smile. Alternatively, if you already own the previous Shade plush, you can use the new one to represent Angst/The Darkness.

Dear inhabitants of the caves, I received many demands for Longing merchandise over the years. We have now partnered with Canadian company Makeship to finally produce a Shade plushie! It will work a bit like a Kickstarter campaign: If enough people pre-order (200 pre orders are needed), the plushie will be produced. Else, everyone will get a refund. The campaign will start today (Friday the 27th) ...

It has been a while, since the Steam version of THE LONGING has received any updates. This was mainly due to the fact that the game was ported to other platforms, like the Nintendo Switch. When I first started making the game I used ancient technology like Unity 5, so our publisher ASH had the terrifying task to overhaul the game technically in many aspects, making it smoother to play and hopefull...

Digging the Earth Bundle In The Longing, a Shade digs his way through an underground cavern labyrinth. He's taking his time. Why? Because he's got 400 days of real time to hand. Despite living in the 50th century, Henry (Mutropolis) is old-fashioned and prefers a good old trowel for his archaeological adventures. But rare treasures are not all he will dig up!
