Frogwares has announced they are working on a new title, codenamed Project Palianytsia. According to the studio, Project Palianytsia is a mix of eldritch horror coupled with Victorian-era mystery, aimed at fans of Frogwares’ The Sinking City and Sherlock Holmes series.
Frogwares has shared four early concept pieces to give people their first glimpse of the project. The official reveal will hopefully be ready to show sometime this summer.
Sergey Oganesyan, Communications Manager at Frogwares, said:
“We are revealing the game now in this way to simply show people we are pushing on and also as a clear middle finger to those who thought they could just roll into our country hoping to disrupt and ruin our lives.
While still challenging, prior to this, everything we released during the war was existing projects that needed to be finalized. We are now making something almost entirely from scratch which is a lot harder under these circumstances so we needed to think smart about what is realistic for us. The idea was greenlit for this very reason as it is something our current team and setup can deliver compared to doing pre-production on another open-world title, which is what we were doing prior to the war.”
The name Palianytsia is symbolic to Ukraine as it’s considered part of our national cuisine. But it’s also the equivalent of phonetical Dark Souls for russians who often can’t pronounce it correctly when trying to pass off as Ukrainian. And so now it’s often used in the field as a test to quickly identify possible affiliation of unknown individuals.”
Stay tuned for more!

Releasing concept art pieces for Game announcements is a thing now?
yeah. plus there ukranian so there trying to steal money and get funding based on concept art.
Their games are total garbage, but can you explain to me why you’re pointing out that they’re (not there, learn some basic English spelling) Ukrainian?
dude with name “zelensky” wants someone to explain to him what he means by “Stealing”
Cant make this up.
Didn’t ask you anything.
How do get your hands on 430 million in broke a*s Ukraine? How many children have you violated?
Your place is in durka, what means in asylum, because you are stupid as valenok.
ok ivan.
The Jewkrainian government has been begging for gibmedats to every country, like a wh*re, without shame on the world stage. But I guess at least the Bidens were able to (((prosper))) there.
EMBARASSING
Kvetch more, loser fa**ot.
It’s normal when others help the victim to fight back the terrorist bully.
I liked The Sinking City and Sherlock Chapter 1. It sounds like this one won’t be open world, though, which is a little disappointing.
Sounds like they probably have to reign in their ambition financially.
But it’s also the equivalent of phonetical Dark Souls
Oh for f***’s sake!
Z i hope russian wins
Z
yes its worth it to stop a ukranian studio from making a woke dark souls.
of course they’ll win. It’s not even a question, only in the minds of brainwashed western media consumers who believe that a small, brutally corrupt and criminally poor, unorganized little banana republic can take on one of the leading military powers of the world. you have to be seriously schizo to believe such pulp fiction
the leading army is screwed so bad
That army is made of paper.
The only thing world fears at this point is the fact that Russians are dumb and the fact they have soviet nukes in silos, from which some may still work.
It’s been 3 months of “leading military power” “taking Kyiv and Ukraine in 3 days”.
Only in the minds of brainwashed “alternative” media, russia is still winning and totally not a failed state with s**t army.
failed state? did you mean USA with double digit inflation or perhaps Germany which will eliminate its industry on the altar of r@tarded virtue signaling eco communism that solves nothing and only makes everything worse?
I hope z fall on your stupid head and smash it!
z for victory v for vdv and e for chechens?
No, you and your braindead cuckwinger fellows.
I hope you n3ck yourself, you aut1st imb3cile.
i hope the studio does that.
SLAVA RUSSIA

I hope you neck yourself, autist imbecile.
ill settle for the comedian jewpresident.
Hate sinking city because of the gameplay design. Sherlock holmes game is much better.
The setting looks really cool!
The Stinking City was a broken mess, but I actually enjoyed it partially. Graphics and atmosphere were decent, very true to Lovecraft. And some of the plot elements were very interesting too. It was clear that they ran out of money, but I definitely have them on my radar, and my radar notices talent from lightyears away.
Atmosphere was good I agree, I also liked the fact that you had to find addressess using your map – no pointer.
“We are revealing the game now in this way to simply show people we are pushing on and also as a clear middle finger to those who thought they could just roll into our country hoping to disrupt and ruin our lives.”
Shouldnt you be fighting the invaders then?
“The name Palianytsia is symbolic to Ukraine as it’s considered part of our national cuisine. But it’s also the equivalent of phonetical Dark Souls for russians who often can’t pronounce it correctly when trying to pass off as Ukrainian. ”
yay get more political, hey wait a minute wasnt the last sherlock holmes game woke? Wait “dark souls” oh for crying out loud. I hope russia wins then. ZZZZZZZZ
You want them to fight now? I thought you wanted them to roll over and die.
Well someone has to.
Looking forward to this.
Nice trolling of those terrorist ruskies.
