Hey y'all! The sequel of @heavenly-roads 
's game "Endless Inside" is being in development for a while now and since I am very excited, how the story will correlate with the story of the first game and overall evolve into an awesome and vast gameplay, I thought I would summarize all information we got so far from Gamejolt, Youtube and from the creator's website.
Let's go!
Change Of Game Engine
Like in the first game, Endless Inside 2 was planned to be made with the software Clickteam Fusion and also be point'n'click genre, but on this post https://gamejolt.com/p/endless-inside-sequel-is-going-to-unreal-engine-zdjdtmc4
heavenly-roads shared with us, that the game will not continue being made with Clickteam, instead, we will experience the game on Unreal Engine.
He quotes:
I'm moving this game fromClickteamtoUnreal Engine. This is a big step which will implement innumerable improvements, including free-roaming around 3D environments, new exploration systems, new survival modes and many other content which will increase the final quality by a lot.
Which means that the game will have more features and content to explore than before due to its powerful 3D mechanics and just has more possibilities than a 2D point'n'Click game. A great choice!
Game Support And Credits
From the website of EI 2, we can find the information that he's not alone with this project...
...and is getting help from famous creators on GameJolt, such as @ddemkoo 
who's doing the sound design and is featured as in-game content too, @Weshek , who's the script assistent. Also @GuPTO_Production 
and @Noexi 
are part of in-game featured content. And last but not least, the voice actors Matt Surges and Jake Goodman, who are part of the artifacts collection.
Characters
What's also interesting to know, are the characters of course, no matter if completely new ones or returning ones from the first game. Up to now, we know 4 new characters that are officially announced for the game: Kowppler, Mother-Soul Kyra, Soldiers, and Schnabel. They all have a little biography on the website. There are very interesting facts that could give us ideas on how they are related to each other, for example, on Kyra's biography we discover that she can generate the Soldiers and also control them. Schnabel seems like to be the master of those "Quantum Beasts" and even uses humans as ressources for his plans. Kowppler looks like a gigachad version of the little Wooden (lmao), he is mostly walking through the sewers and just around the university and is very strong.
Teasers And Screenshots
Back in 2018, we got an image of a 3D Model made for EI2, it's about the character Kowppler(Also one of the first shots about him with the full body) which we can find on DeviantArt:
In 2019, we got an official announcement that a sequel is being made. Heavenly-Roads posted a video showcasing some dark background music, you could see a small bit of Mirya's soul from the last minigame of Endless Inside and we got to see the rooms from the university, one locker is on the ground:
On DeviantArt, we can also find this cool new arcade room. Looks very interesting to me:
We got a video for the artifacts collection showcasing a recording. We can see a cassette tape with the name "Joseph Brown". It's an interview of someone who worked in the sewers and saw a creature in the tunnels. It seems like, from his description of the creature, that he's talking about Kowppler. The person tells that he lost his son who was mentally ill, but I feel like that there's a secret behind it, that the son isn't dead. The interviewed one shares the information that the son always wanted to make animals and insects very strong and big, and that he loved biology.
(Maybe a hint that the son is actually Schnabel?)
Speaking of artifacts collection, the next teaser called "Stray Images" shows two persons that are being missed.
The latest screenshot and teaser we got was from 2021 and is showing a basement, probably from the university since we can see some objects from the previous game. The whole room is new and we didn't see it in the first game.
With all the characters getting a short teaser, Heavenly-Roads then shared a big reveal 2 years ago, a new brand, the plot and gameplay information:
What are my thoughts and hopes for the game?
Since the game will now be fully in 3D and made in unreal Engine, I hope we can actually explore the whole University and find some hidden secrets. I hope we will have good structured gameplay mechanics and that we can interact with many things and also having some escaping or even fighting scenes of those Quantum beasts. I feel like this game could show us the real potential of the story and of this video game series. The first game left me with many questions about everything in this universe...Why Mirya? What's with the little woodens? The boxes, Elliot and Vulpis? Why are there quantum beasts and what's their plan? It could be such an awesome game and I'm impressed by every teaser of EI 2, Heavenly-Roads learned alot in this time and is such an creative person. I'm so, so, so excited for this game and can't wait what information we will get next about it!
Thanks for reading!!
