Noisy Pixel recently made the announcement that a demo for Remaining Grace, an intimate non-linear ghost story about chosen family, human connections, and the mosaic of quiet moments that bind them, will be playable at PAX West 2026.
The debut project from developer ambedo studios, Remaining Grace centers queer, indigenous, and immigrant stories in a narrative that follows protagonist Grace Tao, who died three years before the events of the game and is forced to navigate the present as a ghost.
Grace’s spirit can move between bodies through physical contact, allowing her to follow members of her family and social circle, including her Chinese immigrant parents, adopted sister, the father of her child, her father’s new wife, and a childhood friend who still has feelings for her.
“Our goal is to create an intimate, raw, and honest exploration of complex lived experiences, and use an alternate-history setting to ask pointed and provocative questions,” explains Quintin Pan, Creative Director at ambedo studios. “Remaining Grace is the culmination of our immigrant stories, our Indigenous stories, our wrestlings with faith, race, gender, and culture all into a complex non-linear narrative tapestry for the player to unfold.”
Remaining Grace is currently in development for Mac and PC via Steam. For more updates on this inclusive, narrative-driven title, make sure to follow both Noisy Pixel and ambedo studios on X.
