  The New Trailer Is Out Now

  Hello, everyone!This week, we made an important step in preparing Is There a Way? for release — the new trailer is now live.The trailer is currently released without voice-over. We tried to find the right voice, but decided not to use a version that did not fully match the tone of the game. Voice-over will be added later, once we find a sound that properly captures the tension, anxiety, and atmosphere of Case No. 17.What else happened this week:— updated the screenshots on the Steam page — continued checking the English localization — prepared a new batch of backgrounds — prepared a new batch of character assets — continued working on the demo version — continued active preparation for the upcoming releaseWe are also continuing to check the English localization to preserve the meaning, mood, and emotional tension of the original text. At the same time, work continues on the demo version and new visual materials.The release is getting closer, and we are gradually moving into the final stages of preparation.Thank you for following the project and supporting us. If you have not added Is There a Way? to your wishlist yet, now is a great time to do so.

At the same time, we are updating the visual materials: preparing new backgrounds, new character assets, and a new set of screenshots that better reflect the tone and essence of the game.In addition, our first playtest is gradually coming to an end.

  Weekly Update: Playtest Feedback, Trailer Direction, New Music and Steam Page

  👋 Greetings, friends! Kirill here.We are a little late with this weekly update — we usually try to post around 17:00, but this week turned out to be especially intense. So today we would like to share what has been happening with Is There a Way? over the past few days.The most important thing this week is that we analyzed our current Steam page and finally understood why it is not bringing in the number of wishlists we were hoping for.The issue is not the game itself, but the way it is currently presented. The page does not communicate the strongest parts of Is There a Way? quickly enough: its atmosphere, psychological tension, detective mystery, Soviet setting, and the story built around a case that should never have been reopened.Because of that, we made an important decision: we are going to fully rework the Steam page.We are already preparing the materials needed for this update, so the page can better reflect the actual tone, scale, and identity of the project.This week we:— analyzed the current Steam page and identified its weak points — planned a full rework of the game’s Steam page — started preparing new Steam materials — completed the direction plan for the gameplay trailer — are about to begin full trailer production in the coming days — added several new systems to the code and successfully tested them — received the first feedback from the closed playtest — fixed several dialogue issues based on player feedback — fixed a number of technical problems — wrote new music tracks for the prologue and the main game — prepared several new characters — continued working on the game’s visual presentation — moved further with the updated demo buildThe first playtest feedback has already been extremely useful. It helps us see the game through the eyes of new players: where the pacing works, where more clarity is needed, which scenes leave a stronger impression, and which parts still need polishing.We are also continuing to work on the atmosphere. For us, Is There a...
