Concode released a new trailer for Graytail on October 21, 2026, and set the mystery action adventure for late 2027. The game follows a detective with severe headaches who, ten years after a famous female pilot vanished over the Pacific Ocean, takes up the search alongside the pilot's daughter, who arrives at his office looking for her mother. Players ride a motorcycle across five areas and combine weapons with surrounding objects to solve puzzles. Combat switches between a staff and sub-weapons including an umbrella and a Frisbee. Concode also confirmed funding from Outersloth, the indie fund run by Innersloth, the Among Us developer. Casey Yano of Mega Crit Games, the Slay the Spire studio, joined the investment. Concode will use the money to improve combat and raise the density of the story and areas. The current Steam demo ends distribution in November, and a new demo with the revised combat will follow.
The new trailer showed Chapter 3 for the first time. Game Spark describes the game as Zelda-like, with grabbing, throwing, and jumping actions layered onto the staff-and-sub-weapon combat, and notes the studio is a two-person team that has worked on the game for nearly four years.
As of the October 21, 2026 announcement, Graytail has passed 50,000 wishlist registrations on Steam, and the current demo holds a Very Positive status with 98 percent positive ratings across 102 reviews. It is set for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store as well as Xbox Series X|S, with Xbox Play Anywhere support. Concode says other platforms are also planned.
The funding round includes Casey Yano, co-founder of Mega Crit Games. Concode frames the investment as the reason for the combat overhaul and for more story and area depth. The current demo ends in November 2026, with a replacement demo built around the new combat due later.
