Forgive us for such a long waiting. We had some difficulties, but we naturally overcame that, because we don’t give up so easily. Now we are working on a demo version, we planning to show it on a couple of events at the end of this year. This time you will see not a rough prototype, but a complete demonstration of the gameplay and atmosphere, so as the main story! Based on the experience of gamedeving in a cooperative prototype and your feedback, we thought it over and decided to change the concept of the project. Now we are creating a classic single player project, however, the relationship between the two characters will not go anywhere, there will be an opportunity to play for each of them. Cheer up co-op fans, we didn’t refuse the idea, but we still need to gain some experience. We will continue to inform you about the development process, the news will be released less frequently, but it will be more informative and rich with a lot of media content. Also, we will try to keep a video diary. For today we have prepared for you some fresh screenshots and project synopsis! P.S.
