  Information about the future final update of the game.

  First of all, I would like to welcome and thank all the players who purchased and supported the game, thank you so much for your support and feedback! More than 2 years have passed since its release, and throughout that time, the game has been updated in one way or another, whether small updates or large ones.Unfortunately, it's not always possible to immediately understand what looks good and what doesn't, for two years after the release, players could watch different iterations of this work, the environment changed somewhere, some areas were added or cut, and sometimes entire levels, but it was absolutely always important for me to do everything is as high-quality and interesting as possible within the framework of my experience and skills, which have become bigger and better all this time.Of the fundamental points, the following can be noted:In the upcoming update, the plot and its presentation have been almost completely redesigned. All the strange, illogical, or bad-looking elements were cut out and/or redone, the story became more complete and structured, and most of the text was rewritten with the participation of a philologist.The gameplay was expanded and expanded, new areas and locations appeared, and everything that did not meet the new level of quality was cut and/or radically changed. The environment has become more interesting and filled with various details, and work has also been done with sounds and visual effects.Example of work:Of course, this is not all that has been added and changed in some way, the number of edits and changes is quite large and it will take a very long time to describe them all, but they occur throughout the game and even if you played in previous versions, you can safely play the final one and get a new experience, feelings and story, because that this update has changed the very "skeleton" of the game and all its components, bringing the game into a better and more complete work. An updated trailer for the game will also be ...

  Nomination of the game for the Steam the category "Outstanding visual style"!

  Greetings to all players who have accidentally visited the game page or have already played and passed this work! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44181205/bc8e018400a3f6e428a4dec926dc3d0094044997.png Today on this day I would like to thank everyone who bought the game, thus supporting me and my game, as well as all those who have left a review, passed the game and posted on different video hosting the walkthrough and their impressions, thank you all who did not pass by! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44181205/7e48e95e64f936c4c1bd4659946346f4c1e99809.png The game was released on December 8, 2023 and despite the long development for 3 years - not everything turned out well, quality and interesting, but despite all the difficulties and problems - the game was still released and soon it will celebrate its first anniversary. Throughout the year, small and large updates were released, improving and supplementing certain aspects of the game, visual style, story, gameplay, sound and much more, however it is important to me the quality and responsible approach to what I create, even though very often I wanted to quit and forget, but every time I still sat down at my computer and continued to make updates, not for the sake of money and huge income, not for the sake of some fame and recognition, but for the sake that when a player buys and launches the game - he feels and understands that I care about his gaming experience, that it is important for me to convey the feeling of uniqueness and something new, atypical for the genre “horror”, to tell and show the story, which, unfortunately - can happen in our real life, not directly and head-on, but using images, metaphors and visual style, to think about something important and much more scary, about what happens in ordinary everyday life, what fear, despair and the most ordinary human thoughts can lead us to, and not about how scary some monster or ghost is. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44181205/c9893defbc7db6d4a3aa713a9532022508a73096.png All locations were crea...

  The release of a major game update to version 3.0

  In this update, the endings of the game were primarily affected, namely, 2 endings were cut and one was left, now the game focuses on one ending, on which more emphasis is placed, without forcing the player to replay the game in order to see other options that were of lower quality and did not give the proper effect of the ending of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44181205/b949bd9a27dd6f8be29fc7bd5cb8c4a7edece85a.png The 2nd location of the game, where the game's plot unfolds, has also been completely redesigned. Even if this level has become more linear, but it has also become more understandable and holistic, now there will be no feeling of being lost and not knowing where to go and what to do, now it is more and more clear and the situation when you get lost will not arise during the passage, this is a completely new location, even if it sections from the old one are used, but they have also been refined and improved, this level feels and is played in a completely new way, offering atypical horror gameplay in places! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44181205/b324860b5b3513b6406da08dc2bd435288af07ca.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44181205/505d0161472d1aa7d815990b41e34faa536cebb7.png In addition to the above-described innovations, many small but no less important ones were made, new environment details appeared, the dialog box was improved, some bugs were fixed and localization edits were made, and much more!
