Hello, we are SONAK: Story Design Project, the developers of <The Lost Study>. After a long period of preparation, we are thrilled to finally greet Steam users for the first time! We are excited to take our first steps out into the wider world with our small library right here on Steam.
I am Cooka, the English translator and lead of Sonak: Story Design Project. I also serve as the game designer, storyteller, and PD. While I may still have much to learn as a translator, I am working tirelessly to convey the story of <The Lost Study> with the high quality it deserves. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
📖 What kind of game is <The Lost Study>?
<The Lost Study> is a story-collecting room escape mystery game featuring 14 mysterious tales in an omnibus format. Enter a study that has lost its vitality because no one remembers its stories, and restore each tale by exploring them one by one.
At first glance, these 14 stories of different genres may seem independent, but they are actually all interconnected within a single, shared universe! We invite you to venture through each story while discovering the hidden links between them.
Behind the fairy-tale-like visuals lie unexpected twists and a deep narrative that will draw you into the world of the forgotten study. We have already received much love and recognition at various events such as G-STAR, INDIECRAFT, and Comic World in Korea.
🧧 Steam Launch & Lunar New Year Special Gift
2026 is the Year of the Red Horse! To celebrate the Lunar New Year —one of Korea’s biggest holidays— and the opening of our Steam page we have prepared a special gift for everyone visiting our study.

🚀 The Journey Ahead
Our team is currently focusing on English and Chinese localization with a goal for a global official release in the second half of 2026.
We have just completed the translation for 5 out of the 14 stories. This past December, we even conducted a playtest with a functional English build. We plan to update screenshots for the remaining stories as they are translated. We are doing our best to convey the vast amount of text from all 14 stories in a way that resonates with each language's emotions, so please bear with us just a little longer!
