Major Content Update Announcement + Dev Update


Hey everyone! It's been a little while since I had any real updates for you on Console ports for the game. That is partially because there's a lot more to console ports than one might think. There's a lot of things in this game that I see room for improvement on as well. One of the major thing for me is the how short the game is. It's only about 20-30ish minutes right now for a normal playthrough. I intend to fix that with a good sized content update. I really want to give this game more to offer and expand upon some of the ideas this current version introduces before I focus fully on chapter 2. With this in mind, I am deciding to wait on releasing to consoles until I have this content update finished. This means Playstation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch. My goal is to have this content update ready to release on Steam and Meta Quest by the end of October alongside another really special Obsessive Shadow project that's been in the works for a while with the Console Releases expected to be coming out in early 2026.

I am going to be working alongside @Yu_Ro who is a developer known for his VR remakes of Five Nights at Freddy's Games to speed up the development time on this. This will also include major Quality of life improvements to the game! (He also has a game coming out that you can wishlist on Steam! called 'Go to Sleep'!)

I know a lot of you are not going to be happy to hear about the console port delay, but I will do everything I can to ensure that what's coming will more than make up for it.

Here's the planned roadmap in order:

2025:

- Release Chapter 1 Major Content Update

- Premiere Special Non-Game Release

- Start Chapter 1 Console Porting process

2026:

- Release Chapter 1 Console Port(s)

- Continue development on Chapter 2

- Release Chapter 2

I do apologize once again for this delay and hope you guys understand. I look forward to likely sharing more soon though!
