For Estefano Patricio Palacios Topic (1989 – 2021)
Estefano or “Esteto” as his family lovingly called him on 03.10.1989, in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He was an intelligent, curious and restless boy, with the desire to create games. He learned how games were made, and became fascinated by the wide possibilities of technology.

His drive infected the people around him. He managed to convince teachers to deliver video games instead of class projects throughout high school and his studies. Until he realised that teaching wasn’t giving him what he was trying to achieve, so he started his own game company.

He created Freaky Creations with his school friend, the first video game studio in Ecuador. After he led a bunch of demo projects, he came up with the idea for To Leave

He created it from scratch, with shared ideals and his vision of caring for the player’s experience throughout every decision made for the game, its mechanics, the story and aesthetics.

Stunning, inspiring puzzle-platformer that blurs genre boundaries.

To Leave is coming to Nintendo Switch and Xbox

To Leave is a unique adventure game, set in a fascinating world. There is only one goal. Help a suffering boy known as Harm, in overcoming his past. 

To Leave is the last work of one of its authors, Freaky Creations’ creative director, Estefano Palacios who passed away last year. 

In the memory of Estefano Palacios
Estefano Palacios started programming video games at the age of 14. It was then that he met his longtime colleague Jorge Blacio (Freaky Creations’ current producer) with whom he made his first game project World of Mathematica.

The need to create games was so strong in him that he gave up his computer studies in the last year, and together with Jorge founded Freaky Creations.

The studio’s largest project to date, To Leave, which has exceeded the expectations of its creators, is also a life project of Estefano. Console releases are dedicated to him.

Check out Boreal Tenebrae Animated Short HERE

Sudden technological changes and digital evolution cause terror and anxiety in society. In a small, lonely town where this type of transformation proceeds much slower, the impact of this kind of phenomenon is always increased.

And people are usually hostile to it.

WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON?
In such a small town, Dusky Rivers, set in an idyllic landscape, this story begins. A technological anomaly suddenly appears.

This phenomenon bends reality and absorbs what is in its vicinity from time to time. And its first victim was your sister Sarah.

TEAMWORK
Play as Bree, the main character, Sarah’s sister, as well as her friends, and city residents.

Each of the characters looks at the town differently, has a contrasting story and diverse insights, but each of them is important in the attempt to solve the mystery of the anomaly that Sarah was accused of causing.

SAVE THE TOWN 
Explore and discover the town and its alternative, dark version. Collect and redo items, discover diary recordings to learn more about the story, and play cassette tapes.

Complete the ritual started by Sarah, save her and others from the alternate world, and discover the dark secrets of a slowly decaying town.

KEY FEATURES:
– Retro game stylized as classics from the 32bit PS1 era
– Bizzare horror adventure with dark atmosphere, surreal elements, and gore
– The contrast in the form of cartoon-retro graphics, and a dark story
– Story-driven quests with multiple characters
– Simple adventure game controls
– Deepened figures, different points of view on the same phenomena

THE INSPIRATION BEHIND BOREAL TENEBRAE
– The concept behind Boreal Tenebrae comes from my youth. Growing up in some of the small rural communities of Canada gave me a unique and anachronistic perspective of the 1990’s: juxtaposed between tradition and technology – said Daniel Beaulieu, the creator of Boreal Tenebrae.
