1C Entertainment announces its partnership with the talented Norwegian developer Audvyr Studio for the publishing of their debut title The Fold: Ingression on PC later this year.

“After many tough years developing alone, what started out as a fun little project, ‘The Fold: Ingression’ now finally feels like a fleshed-out world. Of course, there is still a lot of work ahead, but I believe I've managed to incorporate Scandinavian history and dark legends, which always fascinated me, into the game in a unique way. I drew my inspiration from the culture-rich county that I'm from, Þilamǫrk (Telemark),” says Stian Willums, Creative Director of Audvyr Studio.

'Ingression' is the first installment in the ‘The Fold’ universe and will take the player on an introduction to those they call 'The Fold' and their mysterious ancient worlds. Developed solely by one of the devs of Through the Woods – The Fold: Ingression is a first-person thriller adventure with worlds inspired by the Norse people, old Norwegian legends and incorporating horror elements from the works of H.P. Lovecraft.

The Fold: Ingression is coming to PC (Steam/GOG/Epic Games Store) in Q4 2022.
