The Wine. Another survival horror game from the developer of INFERNIUM! :D
Hello Wanderers! I am Carlos Coronado, solo game developer of your beloved or hated Infernium. I don't want to talk too much. I am making a new horror game called HORROR TALES: The Wine.
2) You can play the first two levels of the HORROR TALES: The wine FOR FREE, now, during the Steam Autumn Festival
3) The gameplay takes a lot of concepts from INFERNIUM and changes many others. It is easier than Infernium in many ways and more challenging than Infernium in new ways.
4) Infernium User Reviews are on mixed now because Donald. Do something please? :(
4) Profit.
PS: Forgot something REALLY IMPORTANT: The enemies from the HORROR TALES: The Wine have the Infernium enemies sounds :___)
Wash your hands and save 22$! Infernium discounted as much as Steam allows us.
Need something to play on your self isolation? INFERNIUM offers you around 15h just to complete the main game. And then you can try NG+ or one of the many mods in the workshop.
The quarantine can be hard and we are discounting INFERNIUM as much as we can. If you can't afford to pay for it and you would like to play it, please feel free to download it from any of the ilegal torrent sites. If you are not that kind of person, remember you can try the free demo of Infernium right now!
Let's all be there for each other!
Sale starts 23/3 and will last a week. We would love to hear what you have to say about the game in a review!
Happy quarantine, wanderers.
Free Demo now available!
Greetings wanderers! As stated in the previous announcement, a free Demo of Infernium is now available for download! Let's talk a little bit about it:
The INFERNIUM Demo features a big chunk of the game and will allow you to get 2 skills and two harvesting fingers! The total game features 6 skills and 5 harvesting fingers (and content after you get them all :) )
So, if you are deciding to buy Infernium or now, please check the demo first! Infernium is NOT a game for everyone and the demo should help you decide if it is for you. If you enjoy what you get in the demo, the whole game is more and better!
Infernium is also a really slow cooked game, specially at the beginning. You need to invest in the game in order to understand it so please do not judge the game by the first 4 minutes. Give it time and it will romance you :D
On the other hand, does your progress in the Demo transfer to the whole game? Yes indeed!!
Hopefully with the free demo we will solve the "Mixed" reviews problem. As usual, if you enjoy the game, please leave a review and tell your friends about it.
You may have seen a little ninja-update happening in Infernium. What is going on?!?!?!?! It is just a small update featuring small bug fixes, mostly out of bounds bugs in the heaven area and a bug regarding the flashlight. Don't worry, you can still speedrun the game and use out of bounds shortcuts! Only gamebreaking out of bounds bugs were fixed :)
On the other hand, we need to talk about mixed reviews...
Infernium always had positive reviews, what happened to get mixed reviews then? :O
Well... actually... nothing. In the last months Infernium has been reviewed by folks playing just 15min of the game and then giving Infernium a negative review (you can check this by yourself if you sort the reviews by negative and take a look at playtime). Of course, it is only natural to not understand much at 15 minute mark of the game. Infernium is a slow cooked game and the whole New Game experience will last you about 16 hours. On the other hand, there is also an option in the accessibility menu that will give you more hints/tutorials. If you feel really really lost, you should definitely use that!
But yes, Infernium is NOT for everyone and it is always going to have negative reviews. How can we fix that? Easy.
Free Demo
Infernium will get a free demo with a really big generous chunk of the game (You will get 1 harvesting finger and two skills in the demo!!!) so anyone can try before they can decide if the buy or not! I don't have a date for the demo yet, but as soon as the demo releases the game will have a huge sale too :)
On the other hand, Infernium is now at 68% review score. With a couple reviews it could get back to positive blue (reached at 70%). If you enjoyed Infernium you could really help the game by leaving a positive review! If you didn't enjoy the game and have feedback, please leave a negative review too! I love to listen to players and try to improve the games afterwards.
And this is all for now, happy dying.
Big hug,
Carlos.
Ninja accessibility update regarding sensitivity!
Hello wanderers,
I have ninja-updated the game with higher sensitivity controls. Now if you put the sensitivity slider between 110 and 140 you should be way way faster than before :)
This is of course aside from the usual accessibility features (more info on them here)
Infernium is on sale on steam 75% off! That is a huge huge discount to celebrate Halloween!
Aside from the discount, I've also updated the game with some minor optimization tweaks and have good news for you all: a free demo is coming soon to Steam :D
That's all for now, hope you spend a fantastic Halloween and see you soon in the purgatory!
Cheers,
Carlos.
A Big THANK YOU
Hi,
The support I've been getting from the press, youtubers, streamers, influencers, users and cats has been amazing, and I only wanted to share that with Steam :)
Aside from that, some of you noticed the game had some ninja un-announced updates! What those little updated did was really simple: They balanced enemy placement in a couple of areas (not something game changing at all, as you all seemed to love it as it was!) and fixed localization for Russian, Chineese and Japaneese. Oh! I almost forgot! Steam cards have been added to the game :)
So, what's next? Well, I am opened to sugestions, but I plan to add a free DLC with new enemies an a new skill. A user said it would be awesome to be able to run in exchange of light... :) :) :)
Anyways, here is a selection of quotes from the Internet about Infernium.
Hope you all have a great week!
Cheers,
Carlos.
Infernium has done what a lot of the Dark Souls sequels have not: Give me a real sense of wonder and discovery.

INFERNIUM presents an engaging portrait of a Hell that doesn’t imprison captives through divine wrath but through the player’s own nagging sense of curiosity.

Indescribably magnificent level design, a sensational understanding of the movement, the puzzles and platforms, a visual and sound exhibition to remember, it rises deservedly with the outstanding categorization.

Infernium causes addiction with its difficulty, causes frustration with its graphics, causes anguish with its sound quality and wonders us with its design.

While the idea of a developer taking some aspects from Pac-Man to design a horror game might sound absurd, it is what makes it unique and truly terrifying.

I really have to laud the developer from this game, to balance a game like this so extremly well, that even the most AAA titles cant compete with!

The game is beautiful, fun, scary, has some Great mechanics and some amazing puzzles! And to see that all of that was made by one guy is crazy! Carlos can put many large team AAA titles to shame.

New Accessibility and Twitch options!
Hi,
My name is Carlos Coronado, gamedev of INFERNIUM. After the release I've been listening to your feedback and I've done something about it! The most important features this update brings are four accessibility options, thought for people who want to enjoy Infernium in a different way than I had in mind:
Now, when you it "Play" in the menu you will see a new button called "Accessibility". If you click on it you will see four options:
No Permadeath, No Enemies, Slower Enemies and more tutorials.
This options are thought for people having a bad experience with the vanilla game and I still think you should not activate them the first time you try Infernium.
The "No Permadeath" option will disable life lost when dying.
No enemies will turn Infernium into a walking simulator experience. The puzzles are still there though!
Slower Enemies will make all enemies 25% slower.
And More Tutorials will spawn extra tutorials in The purgatory, The Edge Fortress and the Memorandum explaining how the permadeath, skills and light systems works, as well as the Stairway to Heaven.
On the other hand, three more options have been added to the twitch integration and a game crashing bug releated to it has been fixed. The three options added are: sunny day, inverted colors and magic mushrooms. The maximum delay time between voting and triggering the events have also been lowered to 45 seg maximum.
Aside from all this, minor fixes have been added to the game, including gameplay balancing (this includes enemy new positioning and nerfing in some areas)
Remember the workshop keeps growing and growing too! Take a look at this mod by Espectro changing all the flying towels for Pac-Man ghosts!
