Your fingertips become a comet that travels the cosmos.

Estella is a new kind of 3D music rhythm game where you race across octagonal lanes with a mouse and keyboard. Each planet is told as 1 chapter, and a deep story unfolds that blends cinematic presentation with rhythm gameplay. In the Early Access version, coming this winter, players can enjoy “Chapter 1,” which tells the story of Elina, a girl chosen by the golden comet, along with a diverse lineup of about 40 songs.

A major update has been released for the currently available demo. This update refines the main visual, game UI, and overall play experience, and adds 3 new songs, including popular tracks first revealed at Tokyo Game Show 2026 that drew wide attention. Don’t miss this chance to try the latest demo on Steam!

Planned Song List (Partial): Fantasia Sonata Estella / PYKAMIA; lost night meteor / kanase.; Reblossia / Dadadaizu; Exit This Earth’s Atomosphere / Camellia; PUPA / Morimori Atsushi (newly included following TGS 2026); enchanted love / linear ring (newly included following TGS 2026); Festival Forever / TAKIO (newly included).

The new promotional video released today debuts “Elina,” the theme song for Chapter 1 of Story Mode (composed by Kyiku & rinri, vocals by Es). With an overwhelming sense of speed as real gameplay scenes sync with the music, the video features the character voice of protagonist Elina (voiced by Saima Nakano) and fragments of the story. The video also gives a first look at new footage of “Multiplayer Mode,” where up to 32 players compete for scores while synced in real time.

Chapter 1 Synopsis: One day, a mysterious “purple flower” that numbs people’s hearts covered the forest overnight. Elina was the only one who noticed something was wrong, but she was seen as a heretic and banished from her homeland. 2 years later. She wakes up alone and finds that, for some reason, her hands have become translucent. As everything is swallowed by the purple curse, a faint “golden light” appears before her. To win back her lost home and its warmth, the girl sets out on her own.

The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 Dynasty, Duty, and Drama Update Lets You Choose Who Your Children Marry

Published

“What is better than wisdom? Woman. And what is better than a good woman? Nothing.” That’s Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales, 1390 AD or so (works just as well for a good man, by the way), just a couple of decades before The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 kicks off. The catch every medieval dynasty knew: first you have to find the good one. And in The Guild, your family is the whole point. A campaign runs for generations, and the character you finish with will most likely not be the one you started with.

The Dynasty, Duty, and Drama Update (0.5.0) is live now on Steam, and it lets you decide who in your family courts whom. Choose a good match for your children, and the heirs who take over as Medieval Tycoon one day might turn out smarter (and better connected) than you.

What Update 0.5.0 Brings

  • Choose who your children court and eventually marry, and end any courtship with a candidate who doesn’t fit your plans.
  • If they’ve already married the wrong person, a suspicious-looking beverage or a public declaration ending in banishment will clear the way.
  • Eligible bachelors and bachelorettes now have personalities of their own: some fall for a good joke, others for deep pockets.
  • If your spouse dies, you can now remarry, and you get the new wedding scene all over again.
  • You can pick names for your character, your dynasty and your newborns (your spouse may take offense at that last one).
  • Dynasty members can be sent after specific political offices, so the family can climb the political ladder on several rungs at once.
  • Building Managers take on the tasks you assign them, and the new Ledger shows where your money goes.
  • Steam Workshop now supports localization mods, so the community can add more languages while official translations beyond English and German are still in the works.

The update also improves performance in longer playthroughs, rebalances crafting times and makes the Esc key close all windows and tooltips.

IMPORTANT: Old saves won’t work with Update 0.5.0, so it’s time to found a new dynasty. Look on the bright side: nobody in town will remember how much water went into your ale.

Want to see it all in action? The team goes live on Twitch on November 4th at 17:00 CET to talk through the update on Ashborne Games’ Twitch Channel: https://www.twitch.tv/ashbornegames

The Guild 1 Remake: Europa 1410 is available now in Early Access on Steam for $29.99 / €29.99.
