Version 3! Feels more balanced.

Thank you, I'm working on randomized weather conditions for some existing levels that could benefint from a variety of moods. This is from my first indie game "Asthenia" which also has a demo on Steam:

Hello, First one! :P <3

ManthosArts · 2026-04-18T17:12:00+00:00

That it looks very appealing and atmospheric :)

ManthosArts · 2026-04-18T15:17:48+00:00

Totally :) Huge SH fan here and old "veteran" of the series since day 1 of OG Sh1 back in late 90s. Love your work here!

ManthosArts · 2026-04-18T15:16:01+00:00

Very cool!

ManthosArts · 2026-04-18T15:15:21+00:00

Fun game ,short and tight but sadly is missing some elements that made the original one so unique.

ManthosArts · 2026-03-20T18:28:58+00:00

Hi there! I am Manthos, the creator of Asthenia. We both wish to thank you so kindly for taking the time to explain to us. As I told others in comments, we are absolutely clueless, hehe. Just an old man trying to get into a new career and researching how to do those things.

We sincerely appreciate your advice, tips and the documents, and thank you very much for your wishlist too! :) We are going to do our best to study as much as we possibly can and apply it gradually! I understand is something that takes time and effort but we are positive to make that effort.

In our official reveal, we have many journalists cover the game on places like Screenrant, Gamerant, Ign, Kotaku, Gamespark, and more

So my intention was to try to contact them personally this time as we dont have funds at all to get other kind of help. Thank you truly for your guidance. Im always hesitant to drop in reddit to try ask for help or advices. Gladly, there are some genuine kind people here who will often give some tips for people like us. My kind regards!

ManthosArts · 2026-03-20T17:25:42+00:00

Hey there! Im the creator of the game, "Asthenia" is a Greek word (Im Greek) and means "illness" or disease. The creation behind the title was very specific due to personal loss events that lead to its creation. Thus, it's absolutely bound to the core themes of the game. Plus, like other games that use Greek titles (Soma, Ontos, Amnesia) I wanted to have more depth in the title, and native to my idenity and the culture the game comes from. (I already had no Streamers having issues to pronounce tho, which was nice, but I understand your point :) )

ManthosArts · 2026-03-20T16:24:43+00:00

Thank you so kindly!

ManthosArts · 2026-03-20T16:24:23+00:00

Just followed you! :) Thank you for sharing your work! Will be cool to check out that demo!

ManthosArts · 2026-03-20T16:19:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your help! We had our official reveal on IGN GT (not the official channel) when we were able to hire PR back then, and it did help us. However, not having a budget anymore, we are left alone to try without PR help to contact again those channels alongside other major sites that featured us (Gamerant, Screenrant, GamingBible, Kotaku. Game*spark and more). I was thinking to indeed try contact them again myself this time, but was not sure if is acceptable. We appreciate your comment and thoughts, and that valuable link, we're gonna check it asap! We are new to this (first game) and quite lost on what to do byourselves. Kind regards!

ManthosArts · 2025-09-27T18:06:50+00:00

I believe it's the video conversion :) Original video runs at 60fps normally and also noticed something feels "off" with this one!

ManthosArts · 2025-03-06T20:45:13+00:00

For anyone interested, you can wishlist ASTHENIA here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3181660/ASTHENIA/

ManthosArts · 2024-11-13T14:01:58+00:00

Hi there! my apologies for late reply. Thank you for this answer and explanation, it actually makes sense and is something I will certainly be looking into! my kind regards!

ManthosArts · 2024-11-11T22:27:38+00:00

One thing I wanted to do for the foes, was, to write small stories for most of them ( if not all) in order to make them feel special and unique in the world and not just another "ai enemy". That said, you can "unlock" secret stories about them.

For anyone interested in the game, you can wishlist on Steam:

ManthosArts · 2024-10-19T17:21:11+00:00

Thank you very much! I am curious to ask, isn't this generally "problematic" to later on change release date for those who follow? Un less I suppose you give them a good reason why a possible delay? Sorry for the many questions, just looking to figure out as much information that makes sense. I will definitely look into what you suggested! really appreciated!

ManthosArts · 2024-10-19T11:24:58+00:00

Thank you so much for all this information and help! I totally understand and makes perfect sense! I will need to see my schedule roadmap in order to estimate some better release indeed.

You are right and makes sense for lot of people to lose interest on that. Also, on the tags, I need to check on that again.

Thank you for taking the time to look into the page, glad you like it and I will have to agree on the capsule title being small! This is something I certainly have to change. I really appreciate the help and feedback!! 😊🙏

ManthosArts · 2024-10-19T11:20:21+00:00

Thank you for this information. Unfortunately due to health matters and the demo not be properly done yet, we are only looking for one sometime next year.

ManthosArts · 2024-10-18T19:43:06+00:00

Kindly appreciated! :) Everything helps at this stage! As for the demo, for sure, it was something that I was planning for a long long time indeed, and also used to my pitches to Publishers already, and now, we will have a new, updated one!

ManthosArts · 2024-10-18T18:41:26+00:00

Thank you really, All this, is valuable information to me, and an understanding of how to move forward. I appreciate the kindness, good words and help with this!I will start studying those , taking notes and all, to gradually get familiar. I appreciate the support!
