MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA / July 22, 2026 — Independent studio Aggro Games has launched version 1.0 of Scales of Silence on Steam, bringing the game's one-month Early Access period to a close.
The complete game is available now with a limited-time launch discount and includes all 500 campaign levels, the full 30-serpent roster, 20 boss battles, four multiplayer modes, and final launch polish.
Built entirely by solo developer Cinder, Scales of Silence combines an eight-player couch party game with a complete story campaign playable solo or in 2-player co-op.
Version 0.9.5 introduced every major piece of launch content so the complete game could undergo its final pre-release testing. Version 1.0 builds on that finished foundation with stability fixes, refinements, and polish informed by Early Access players.
Existing saves, unlocks, and campaign progress carry directly into version 1.0.
“Early Access gave the complete game one final round of testing, feedback, and iteration,” said Cinder, founder of Aggro Games. “Players reported bugs, challenged the campaign, and helped shape many of the improvements in version 1.0. The campaign is complete, the roster is assembled, and the full game is ready to play from beginning to end.”
THE COMPLETE GAMEVersion 1.0 includes the complete Scales of Silence experience:
-
All 500 campaign levels and the complete story
-
Solo and 2-player local co-op throughout the campaign
-
20 boss battles and 30 playable serpents
-
Local multiplayer for up to eight players
-
Score Battle, Timed Battle, Snake Royale, and Endless Classic
-
Ten biomes with different environmental rules
-
Full progression, unlocks, food types, and customization options
-
Keyboard and gamepad splitting for flexible local setups
-
Steam Remote Play Together support
-
Save transfer from the demo and Early Access versions
-
Full offline play
-
Support for 24 languages
-
Player-first monetization with no loot boxes, pay-to-win systems, or hidden costs
Up to eight players can battle on one shared screen, with no accounts, split-screen boxes, or lengthy configuration process.
A single keyboard divides into four independent control zones using WASD, IJKL, the Arrow Keys, and Numpad. Each gamepad can support two players by splitting controls between its left and right sticks.
One keyboard and two controllers are enough for a full eight-player match. Players can also connect up to eight individual gamepads or mix and match available inputs. Everyone joins by pressing Up.
Four battle modes provide different ways to play:
-
Score Battle: Race to reach the target score
-
Timed Battle: Earn the highest score before time expires
-
Snake Royale: Survive until only one serpent remains
-
Endless Classic: Chase a high score alone or with friends
Matches can be customized with adjustable speed, CPU difficulty, teams, free-for-all rules, food frequency, and individual player nameplates.
Steam Remote Play Together is also supported for groups bringing remote friends into the action.
LENGTH IS YOUR LIFECollisions do not immediately remove players from a match. Instead, every hit costs part of a serpent's tail.
Longer serpents can absorb more damage, while shorter serpents become faster and harder to corner. Players earn three bonus points for finishing an opponent, and defeated serpents quickly return to the game in supported modes.
The system is designed to prevent early elimination from turning active players into spectators, keeping the full couch involved throughout each match.
A COMPLETE 500-LEVEL CAMPAIGNBeyond its party battles, Scales of Silence includes a complete story campaign spanning 500 levels and 20 boss encounters.
The campaign follows a war between two serpent factions. The Order seeks unity, while the Fangs choose separation. Beneath their conflict, a living darkness known as the Writhing grows stronger and begins tearing open dark portals across the world.
Players can complete the entire campaign alone or with a second local co-op player.
Ten biomes change the rules throughout the journey. Forests restrict visibility, frozen regions create food shortages, swamps turn much of the food supply poisonous, and volcanoes remain trapped in permanent darkness.
Each campaign arc follows a different serpent and ends with a boss battle. Defeating bosses adds them to the playable roster.
The completed game includes 30 serpents with different combinations of speed, acceleration, starting length, growth rate, and play style.
BUILT FOR PLAYERS AND CONTENT CREATORSScales of Silence is designed for crowded living rooms, group play, livestreams, challenge runs, and multiplayer collaborations.
The game supports custom player nameplates, adjustable match rules, scalable CPU difficulty, team configurations, and short-form battle modes suited to recorded or live content.
Its campaign also provides a complete beginning-to-end experience for solo playthroughs and 2-player co-op series.
