We have partnered with Minimum Records to bring Thomas Carleberg's and Emil Nilsson's original soundtrack for Future Unfolding to vinyl. The vinyl includes 13 tracks that take you on a dark and moving journey through slow-burning ambient synth pieces mixed with subtly lush orchestral works. The album comes on heavyweight, clear 180g vinyl with stunning laser-cut artwork by Anouvong Southiphong.
Pre-orders are now open and are limited to only 200 vinyl albums being released. Get your order in quickly if you want to get your hands on one!

New Future Unfolding update based on your feedback
Since our release, we have gotten a lot of feedback from you about Future Unfolding in reviews and comments. Thanks a lot for taking the time to write up your thoughts, it is very valuable to us!
We just released a big update for Future Unfolding that addresses a lot of your feedback. Here's what we changed in 1.1.0:
We redesigned the procedural world generation. We still have the same amount of content in the game, but a single playthrough will now be significantly shorter and feel less like a grind to play to the end. (Yes, there is an ending, if you haven't seen it yet. It's pretty cool.) That also means if you want to replay the game a second or third time, you will see more content that you previously haven't seen before.
Some of the puzzles could previously end up being very frustrating in some procedural configurations. We did a lot of polishing to the puzzles to fix that in the new version.
We did a lot of performance improvements for the PS4 version that we backported to Steam. You'll benefit from these optimisations if you have a lower-end CPU.
As a final thing we have polished some of the writing to keep it shorter overall and flow better with the game.
We hope you like the new changes – let us know what you think in the comments or in your reviews!
Steam Trading Cards
Our six-card set of Steam Trading Cards just went live for Future Unfolding. The artwork for the cards is based on the game's cover art. Our Art Director Marek Plichta took some extra time to create additional artwork for the cards. They turned out quite nice! Here's one of new ones we made especially for the card set:
Of course the set also includes badges, emoticons and profile backgrounds that can be crafted for a full set of cards. Are you new to Steam Trading Cards? Read more about them here.
Future Unfolding is out for PC and Mac
The game is out and it got some great first press reviews:
"Some games are special. Some stick out and others cement their place in your heart and mind. These games are why we play. They're what we're all looking for and manage to affect you in ways that no other medium can. Future Unfolding is one of them." 10/10 –David Turner, spong.com
“It’s a game about exploration. True exploration; in the physical sense of moving around a rendered landscape, and the mental exercise of figuring out the rules of that same world.” 9/10 –Peter Parrish, pcinvasion.com
“A game that is as joyful as it is meditative – it’s as playful as it is philosophical.” 8/10 –Steve C, thesixthaxis.com
“In motion, at 60fps no less, Future Unfolding is exquisite; it’s smooth and satisfying, like controlling your own dreamlike painting.” 7/10 –Ruaraidh Dempster, gamespew.com
We're currently working on Steam Trading Cards and a new build to fix some bugs you reported on the forums. More soon!
Future Unfolding is coming March 15
After over 4 years of development Future Unfolding is finally coming to Windows and macOS on March 15. Linux will follow later this year. A big thank you goes out to our beta testers, who helped us to find and fix dozens of bugs ahead of the release. Check out our new trailer below!

We're looking for beta testers!
Update: The beta test is now closed. Thanks for your help!
We worked on Future Unfolding for over 4 years now. As of today the game is content-complete, which is a huge milestone for us. Content-complete is important, because it gives us a hard deadline where we actually have to say: "Ok, this is everything that's going to be in the game". Even if we have another hundred items on our nice-to-have list. ;)
If the game is complete, what's next? Testing and bug-fixing. Future Unfolding has a procedural aspect to it that requires a lot of testing. We're looking for people who can help us test the game and find all those obscure bugs that are hiding in the woods. We'll send out test builds on an ongoing basis during the next few weeks to a limited number of people.
Thank You & Upcoming Events
Last month Future Unfolding has been greenlit with your help. Thank you for that! We can't wait for you to play the game we've been working on for over 4 years now. It will hit Steam early next year, fingers crossed.
We have a couple of events this month that we want to share with you:
Play Future Unfolding at Day of the Devs in San Francisco. The lineup is amazing and admission is free!
