Faraday Blues is an announced game scheduled for release in 2027 on Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam and Xbox on PC. Development is tied to Serenity Forge and to Satchely, the character artist of Doki Doki Literature Club!, with a structure of 64 endings that the studio describes as mostly bad ones.
Serenity Forge announced Faraday Blues during Microsoft's XBOX Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast on September 17. The game is scheduled for 2027 on Xbox Series X|S and PC, through Steam and Xbox on PC. It mixes a sci-fi visual novel with a strategy card game, and it is built as three visual novels that change shape based on choices.
The premise is specific. Lina wakes in an unfamiliar place and finds a table holding a card game whose cards depict the faces of her parents. Those parents do not recognize her, and their lives ended in tragedy, so Lina resets the board and starts the card game over. Cards are people, not creatures that fight or deal damage. In a 52-card deck of characters, memories, items, and elements, the cards can overturn the history of the Faraday family. Changing which person stands outside a bedroom, or having two characters spend time together, shifts the outcome. The game carries 64 endings, which the studio characterizes as almost all bad endings.
The announcement was reported on September 17. Three days later, the project appeared in Automaton's 100th weekly roundup, where Faraday Blues led a bundle of seven game stories that also included the SophieChat:AI chat app set in Atelier Sophie 2, a remaster of the 2009 arcade mahjong game Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Jan, the Steam multiplayer game Chou Excite Ball, Otomate's otome title Shinsou no Doppelt, the AWS BuilderCards release on Amazon on September 25, and Da Vinci Ushiyama's free browser game Riyou Kiyaku. The roundup framed the week's announcements as arriving as a bundle rather than a single reveal, with the project from Satchely, the Doki Doki Literature Club! character artist, leading the set.
