Finally, Deep Russian Depression is available to purchase in Early Access. Need to tell you now: do not buy the game if you want to play it right now — it is absolutley far away from full release and there is nothing to play yet. If you are ready to buy it today than do it, but don't even try to tell me how bad game is and how lazy I am.

Also, I absolutley don't need your critic and negative reviews. I publish it today because there is my last chance to do it in Russian Federation, which, in my feelings, government ready to block Telegram in month and Steam in year.

Thank you for your attention! Find me in Telegram until it possible and legal.

Hello. Today marks the second anniversary of the failed release of Deep Russian Depression, which had been scheduled for February 24, 2024. A lot has changed since then, so let me fill you in on the current status of the project.

First off, we are closer to a potential release than ever before — the game has successfully passed the build review and can now be launched for sale. However, there's a catch: Steam moderators had some questions regarding the text in the Early Access section, so we'll need to wait a few more days for them to approve the revised version. I'm not sure if I'll be able to release the game on the nice-looking date of 02/26/2026, but if needed, I can always postpone the launch to 02/28/2026, 06/22/2026, or 02/04/2040.

Also, I should warn you that, as of now, there isn't much exciting content in the game — buying it at this stage is really just the best way to support further development. That said, even if someone does purchase it, I still won't be able to receive the money, since I don't have a foreign bank account to withdraw funds from. So why buy the game now? Well, we need to sell around 10,000 to 20,000 copies to unlock the ability to create community items — stuff like custom emoticons, profile backgrounds, and other goodies in the style of Deep Russian Depression. I've prepared something provocative yet within the rules that I think a lot of people might enjoy, but I don't want to spoil the surprise just yet.

As for the price, I'll likely set it to the minimum allowed in each region, so users can grab a copy of the game for themselves or their friends as a joke gift. If anyone's willing to pay more, the best thing they could do is buy multiple copies of Deep Russian Depression for many friends.

Regarding future development plans — there's a bold and unconventional idea for an additional story arc that could really help sell the game to a broader audience. However, making it happen would require funding I don't expect to have anytime soon, as well as collaboration with external parties, which would involve negotiations. So for now, that part remains up in the air.

It has been four years since the Deep Russian Depression game page appeared on the Steam store. In that time, I could have had several children, gotten an education, become rich and famous, or at least released the game, but alas, something went wrong. I can't say the time was wasted, as new knowledge and goals have emerged, leading me toward a wonderful tomorrow! Ah, the wonderful tomorrow—it's a shame it might never come.

The internet is getting worse and worse—now the disruptions are affecting Steam too. So far, only the slow loading times of pages hint at what's to come, something that will engulf the entire foreign segment of the internet. At the same time, Steam's policies are starting to change, I believe, due to increasing pressure from competitors and those in power. After all, no one likes uncontrollable and independent forces that, on top of it all, earn billions of US dollars! Recent changes to Steam only affected the community and its content, but I'm sure it won't be long before they reach the store itself.

What I'm getting at is that Deep Russian Depression needs to be released for sale as soon as possible, while Russia still has access to the service and its requirements for releasing games haven't tightened. A few days ago, I submitted a build of the game for review to get through all the bureaucratic procedures quickly. I did everything possible to ensure the review doesn't drag on for several months like last time, so if everything goes smoothly, the game should be available for sale soon.
