Devlog #19 This horror is impossible to discribe in words...

Hello
Good to see you ;)

«This horror is impossible to discribe in words...»



· And it really is. It is difficult to describe in words the horror and suffering experienced by the patients of the abandoned Black Rose Psychiatric Hospital.
They have been tortured, they have been investigated, they have been like guinea pigs, and it is hard to believe...



· But what young policeman Adam Bernhard had to experience on the very night he received and went to Black Rose on a night patrol was even worse.
The walls of the abandoned psychiatric hospital are saturated with horror and fear, you can still hear crying and other creepy noises, even when no one is around.
Their souls are still there, but their bodies are dead. The walking dead live there, and they will do anything to keep you from leaving the Black Rose grounds alive.



· Also, we have some good news that we would like to share with you:
We've sent the finished Afterlife VR build to Steam for review and are waiting for their approval.
This is a really happy event that brings Afterlife VR to the early access.

· A lot of work has been done and today we're happy to tell you about it. We also want to thank you for your attention and support, it motivates us to work harder.
In the meantime, watch the new short trailer we prepared for you:

Devlog #17 «Be careful. Danger at every turn»

Hello!
Good to see. Already by tradition, each week we talk in small parts about what Aftelife VR is full of and how the game is currently being developed.

«Be careful. Danger at every turn»



· And it really is. The fate of young policeman Adam Bernhard, who was patrolling the night city has changed dramatically, and since he arrived on the grounds of the abandoned psychiatric clinic "Black Rose" his every step is under great danger.



· Inside the psychiatric clinic, terrible things are happening, don't be surprised if you hear crying, screaming, stomping and other horrible sounds even when no one is around.



· But even if you see someone who could help you...Don't be fooled. It may not be exactly who he is trying to be.

· In addition to the interesting mechanics that abound in Afterlife VR, there are also interesting characters that you'll encounter along the way.

· Even a seemingly neutral unit can turn out to be your most cunning and vicious enemy.



· Often such characters have a unique intelligence and their actions are difficult to predict. They can shorten the distance very quickly and destroy you faster than you can react. That's exactly what you saw today in this little gif.

· Also, the work on improving the gameplay continues, and the concerted work of the testers allows us to move even faster towards our cherished goal, as you know, the game is scheduled for release in Q2 this year. We are getting closer to it ;)

Take care! See you in a week!

Already by tradition, we tell you weekly about Afterlife VR and how the development of the game now lives.

"How much do you trust your eyes?"

· As you may recall, the game's action takes place on the grounds of the Black Rose Psychiatric Hospital, where our protagonist, young policeman Adam Bernhard, who received an alarm call while patrolling the city at night, went on a call.



· As the action of our game takes place in the mental hospital, the developers prepared a lot of frightening and at the same time exciting scenes for the players. One of the scenes you have seen today demonstrates a paranormal phenomenon in one of the rooms, where the protagonist encounters with strange patients of the mental hospital.



· Was it real or was it just another attempt by an invisible force to drive you crazy? You'll have to find out.

· In the previous post we told you about the ghost that lives inside the Black Rose, this is his territory and he won't let you out alive. Could this be his doing? Maybe.



· Afterlife VR is packed with interesting mechanics and scenes that can surprise.



· Meanwhile, preparations for the game's early access are well underway. Testers are actively working on finding bugs, and we quickly fix them ;)

Do you hear screams? Noises? Crying and tears? It's his doing. But know this for a fact, he will not let you out alive.

This is his territory and he's not willing to share it with anyone else, he's always been here. Even when the psychiatric hospital was in operation.
How do you eliminate him? That's a tough question. But you'll have to find out inside the Afterlife VR storyline.

Devlog #10 What's wrong with your hands?!

Hello!
How are you doing? I haven't seen you all week. I hope you're doing well.

So, it's time to share with you some news about what we've been working on this week, but before that, a little advice for you:
"Telekinesis is not the easiest skill to learn. Take your time and try again..."



Our priorities remain the same. Our main goal is the end result. The result, which will give players a new experience with the unique story that happened to the young policeman Adam Bernhard in the most terrible night for him. This really scary, but fascinating story will tell you how he got to the mental hospital, what he saw there, what difficulties and horrors he faced. Was he close to death?

This is a deeply immersive game with a deep storyline. Which will show how valuable human life is and how confusing it can be.

Afterlife VR is packed with many different interesting mechanics. We've been showing it to you lately (our last few updates have been dedicated to this very thing).



What you saw today in the form of a small gif animation: This is one of the fascinating abilities that will be available to the player. It is telekinesis - with which the player can activate buttons, levers, physically inaccessible to him, destroy obstacles. It is also a good weapon for temporarily incapacitating opponents.

The work is in full swing. Thanks for the heads up!

See you next week. Take care and have a good weekend!
