Phew! It's been a wild ride since we released THE HALLWAY, and we're overwhelmed with gratitude for your incredible support!

We originally aimed for a quicker update, but the decision to rebuild the game entirely in Unreal Engine 5 took longer than anticipated. However, the wait is definitely worth it, and we can't wait for you to experience the all-new THE HALLWAY.

[h3]Mark your calendars: March brings a complete overhaul of the first room![/h3]

Get ready for:

• Stunning new graphics & art style: Immerse yourself in a visually breathtaking environment.
  
• Fully interactive escape room: Every object is at your fingertips, offering even deeper engagement.
  
• More mind-bending puzzles: Challenge yourself with a fresh set of brainteasers.
  
• Personal player journal: Learn about the story, uncover clues, and jot down notes in your handy in-game journal.
  
• Storytelling expansion: Dive deeper into the game's narrative with introductory glimpses into the backstory and future developments.
  

As soon as the update drops, we'll share our updated roadmap, detailing when you can expect even more exciting content.

[h3]Enough talk though, let's see the magic!

Dear Community,

After monitoring the recent changes to Unity's pricing policy, we've made the difficult decision to move away from Unity as our engine of choice for "THE HALLWAY - Escape Room."

ICYMI: The Verge: "Unity has changed its pricing model, and game developers are pissed off"

While Unity has already backtracked on a few of these statements, and the changes might not affect us as of yet, and potentially never will, our trust in Unity as a company and as a game engine has been broken. Continuing to build our games with Unity feels like too much of a risk for the future.

[h3]What does that mean for THE HALLWAY?[/h3]

We are deeply committed to our game and can't wait to show you the whole picture of what we have envisioned. However, this will now take a little longer than originally expected, as we have to rebuild the game in a new engine and potentially acquire new skills as a team to do so.

So please be patient with us as we work diligently to deliver the next update, allowing you to continue your journey in THE HALLWAY.

Thank you for your understanding and continuous support!

Cheers

We are so excited to launch THE HALLWAY - ESCAPE ROOM in Early Acces today and can't wait to hear your feedback about our first release.

Enjoy the riddles!

As with any Early Access title, we have big plans coming up. While the current version might only give you a short escape room expierence we've already layed out the roadmap for the future of our game and are hard at work to make it reality.



Cheers
