Created with love and heart by very few individuals & now enjoyed by over a million people, #sworcery is an unlikely success story. Originally released for iPhone & iPad in spring 2011, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP took the world by storm with a fresh mix of audiovisual style, soulful narrative, expressive mechanics and experimental design sensibilities. On mobile platforms best known for short attention span feel-good microgames, #sworcery's sublte approach stood out from the crowd. The project has since been recognized by critics and audiences alike as an ambitious, idiosyncratic, surprising, at-times heartbreaking artistic statement that is nevertheless perfectly at home in the often mysterious, occasonally beautiful, sometimes profound language of videogames.

Note: For anyone wondering if there's anything to the secret transmissions connected with the Moon Grotto: all's well that ends well (?).
