Who is forcing you to play these games? I'll have a word with him!
 
Loved the demo back then... like 2 or 3 years ago? Then the Steam page told me it was "coming soon" only to see it being early access. That was disappointing.

This game isn't coming out 1.0 before 2025 most likely. I just hope they don't end with feature creep like many EA games on Steam.

Still, I'm looking forward to have this game see the light of the day.
 
In my opinion it's not a horror. Playing something like a level with the undead in Thief 1 can still be properly creepy so it's all about how you design it.

It's not that immersive sim-ish either, at least not in the early access version I've played. I felt too limited in many situations and also disappointed with the lack of some interactions.

Research update 2 just released 2h ago

update 1 for those who missed



new update 2



I haven't played since the mirror update so there seems to be a shitload of new content for me to revisit. You can now take characteristics of the enemies?

Oh My God Wow GIF
 
I have this in early access and it is good, like REALLY good, as far as I can tell.. dont want to really play it until 1.0..

there is a big update out but not content complete it seems sadly..?
