Episode Five Progress Update (January 2026)

31/01/2026 · Release · Leaving DNA

Hello Steam,

In December I told you that all that was left for Episode Five was the animations and that barring some disaster I thought I'd be able to release in February. Unfortunately, we are at that disaster level as there was almost no progress made on the animations during January. I am disappointed to have to report this. I am hopeful we'll be able to get the animations going again soon, but it's not realistic to expect Episode Five in February.

I have stayed busy with development of other aspects of the game and January was one of my most productive months ever as I wrote several new scenes and created 741 new renders for Episode Six through Eight. A reminder that Episodes Six through Eight will be shorter than the preceding episodes and won't be released until they are all finished. So I am currently working on the game's final update.

Check out my latest public render here.

Thank you for your patience.
