You can customise your hands in the Main Menu, this can be accessed by finding all the trinkets in a single level.

Hello, i'd like to start by apologising for delaying Ergo for several months, while this was never the plan it was necessary. Now for the main points.

• Ergo is coming to steam on May 9th 2022
  
• It will be in early access as the game isn't complete
• The game contains Budget voice acting (This is out of my control as a solo dev)
  
• The game will retail for the following prices $6.99, £5.19, €5,69
  

What will the game contain in Early Access?

The game contains the following

• All 19 playable levels, All of these levels are not finalised and may be drastically changed following player feedback
  
• Save system, This saves the last played level.
  
• Level select, Levels can be replayed after the player has completed them
  
• Spectator camera, enabled by default, this can be disabled within the settings
  
• Hidden Trinkets, finding all the trinkets in the level will reward the player with extra rooms / content on the main menu (Not ready for EA, however stats will be saved so, no fear of having to find them all again!)
  
• Randomised visuals, Items like Monitors, Chairs, Desks, etc can appear with different models/textures every playthrough!
  
• Graphics settings, allowing for adjustments for the best visuals or performance
  
• Gameplay settings, want to move with your left hand, right hand or use your head, want smooth turn, want to turn fast or slow, all changeable here!
  
• Audio settings, game too loud, sound too annoying or voice acting to budget? lower or disable the audio entirely!
  

What's planned before leaving Early Access?

• Bug fixes
  
• Framerate improvements
  
• Level adjustments
  
• Level improvements
  
• Secrets
  
• Subtitles
  
• More areas to explore
  
• Rewards, related to the Trinket System
  
• Player feedback
  
• And much more!
  

I hope you're looking forward to Ergo's release; This has been a long time in the making and I'm hoping to continue development using your feedback / suggestions.

Hello, First off I'd like to thank everyone that's downloaded and tried out Ergo, especially those who gave feedback, it's helped shape up the game well, for those who haven't you still get a thank you for reading this :)

I've just updated the demo which fixes tons of bugs and adds tons of new features including a reworked main menu

Obviously as always there's still a few bugs present but i'm working on it!

Sorry, didn't notice nor was told if demo was launching, it now launches correctly, i'm sorry for any inconvinence, but I assumed it was working, this was not the case, it now works so have fun :)
