The time has come! After running the Closed Alpha phase for the past 6 months, we're excited to announce that Curious Expedition 2 is coming to Steam Early Access on Wednesday, June 17th.

Instead of writing a long message we have prepared a video update for you, where we introduce the team, show some preview footage from the game and provide information on what to expect from the Early Access:

Adventure awaits, again!

We're thrilled to announce that we're participating to LudoNarraCon, taking place here on Steam from April 24th to April 27th.

This online narrative games festival features over 40 game exhibitors with free demos, a sale, panel discussions and live streams.

On this occasion we'll be offering a Curious Expedition 2 demo (for those who played the demo at the Steam Game Festival last month: it's the same demo!) and do a special live stream starting on Friday at 7pm CET / 10am PT, during which we're going to talk about the development of the game and share some behind the scenes materials we've never shown before! If you can't catch the stream live don't worry, it will be recorded and shown on repeat for the entire duration of LudoNarraCon.

You can find more information and set a reminder on this page.

See you there!

We're incredibly thrilled to be part of the Steam Game Festival Spring Edition with a demo for Curious Expedition 2 — it will be available only UNTIL THE END OF THE WEEK, so don't wait! This is the first time we're making the game accessible to a wider audience outside of the closed alpha we've launched last November, and we can't wait to hear your impressions.

Before playing the demo, please make sure to wishlist the game, it really helps us by making it discoverable to more players:

Some important notes:

• This demo was originally created to present the game at festivals and conventions, such as GDC (before it got cancelled). Normally you'd play this with someone from our team next to you, explaining things if needed. We've included a small tutorial, but if certain aspects are still not clear (which might be the case, if you haven't played the original Curious Expedition), please be understanding!
  
  
• Each playthrough lasts around 10-20 minutes, but since the map is procedurally generated, we recommend playing more than once to experience different locations, events and items.
  
  
• Since the game is still in development (currently in closed alpha), certain features are not final yet, in particular regarding the user interface.
  

All clear? If the demo got you interested, sign up for the CLOSED ALPHA on our website, it features way more content.

Oh, one more thing: the original Curious Expedition is coming to consoles at the end of the month! Here's the new release trailer:

Have fun & take care!

Have you ever wondered what Curious Expedition would be like as a massively multiplayer game? Make sure to play the new RIVALS mode we launched today to find out!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/358130/Curious_Expedition/
Here are some of the things you can expect from RIVALS:

• Explore worlds that are up to 10,000 times larger than in the original game.
  
• Discover new regions and have your name and portrait remembered for all other players to see.
  
• Acquire prestigious badges with every golden pyramid you discover.
  
• Equip your trek with over 140 Expedition Crates to customize your playstyle and experiment with different strategies.

But that's not all! Hidden away in this massive world, there's a golden pyramid. Those of you who'll find it, will get immediate access to the Curious Expedition 2 Closed Alpha on Discord!

You can also sign up for Closed Alpha access here - we'll invite people who sign up in the coming weeks.



What are you waiting for? Adventure awaits, once again!
