Infliction
Watching let's plays of the demo is making the game better
It’s been amazing to let people play a small sample of the game in the demo, and it’s proven to be super popular on YouTube as well. The most popular YouTube play through has racked up over a million views! Just search for “infliction” on YouTube and you’ll find dozens of videos!
I’ve learned a lot from watching folks play the demo, and I'm tweaking the final game to make it even scarier. I wrote about these lessons in an Imgur post which attracted a bit of attention. It contains a handful of new GIFs that I haven’t shown publicly before, so if you’re hungry for more game info, go check it out. Just search for “infliction” on Imgur and it’s the top result.

Stay in touch and get the latest news!
There’s a lot happening in the world of Infliction, and it’s not always possible to keep you up to date on everything via these Steam updates.
One of the best ways to get the latest news is to follow me on social media. You can keep an eye on everything happening via Twitter by searching for @CausticReality, and if you’re more of a Facebook fan, search for Caustic Reality there too.
My crowdfunding campaign just hit its halfway point, and there have been some awesome free bonuses unlocked. Check out either of the above social media accounts to get the latest.
The Infliction demo has also been popular with YouTube “Let’s Play” video creators, with the total number of video views now well over 1.5 million! I’ve been blown away by the positive response the demo has received, both here on Steam and on YouTube.
Thanks again for joining me on this journey, with Infliction’s October release as our shared destination. It’s already been an amazing ride, and it’s only going to get better!

The demo is live, and there's a freaky new trailer!
I have a few things to announce in this update, so let's jump into it!
First up, the demo is live now! This is a stand-alone experience that you can play through in 10-20 minutes to get a first-hand taste of how the finished game will play. It's spoiler-free, too: I made the demo to sample the gameplay, not spoil the story!
Second, I've made a disturbing new trailer. You can see it here on the Steam page, but I've also uploaded it to YouTube: https://bit.ly/InflictionTrailer If you could watch it, give it a thumbs-up, and share it with your horror-loving friends, that would be great.
I've also launched a Kickstarter to help get the game looking amazing for its Halloween release. If you've enjoyed the demo and the trailer, it would be awesome if you could go and back it.
Thanks again for your support! I've worked on this game on my own for two years, so it's great to finally be showing it to the world, even if it's only a demo and a trailer so far. In four months, you'll be able to play the whole thing!

Playable demo and new trailer launches next week! 😱
We have exciting news on Infliction - we're coming to Kickstarter on June 26th, featuring a new trailer and playable demo!
Infliction is an interactive nightmare, a horrific journey through the dark secrets of a fractured home. Unstuck in time, players wander through the heartbreaking remnants of a once-happy family, piecing together clues and struggling to atone for past sins.
This game has been my passion and focus for over 2 years, and we're on the home stretch to launch in time for Halloween this year. The Kickstarter will help me hire an animator for final improvements, as well as additional features such as localisation if we hit stretch goals.
Thank you so much for your support so far, and I look forward to scaring the world with Infliction soon. I'll send an email to celebrate the campaign going live early next week, and there's a Facebook event to join for notifications and behind-the-scene peeks. If you have horror fan friends, please invite them to the event page so they can check out the new trailer and the demo that will launch with the Kickstarter.
Cheers,
Clinton
Development update
I’ll be releasing a second trailer and announcing the official release date shortly, so keep your eyes peeled for that. I know waiting really sucks, but I’m confident that you’ll really appreciate the additional content.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Thanks so much for your interest in Infliction, it’s you that boosts my motivation each and every day.
Talk soon,

Announcing Infliction
It's been a crazy road but we finally have our store page on Steam.
I'd like to call out now that there may be changes to features (like the addition of trading cards etc) and the release date given this game is still in development and I'm the only person working on the game. I'll be as active as I can be with the community and endeavour to keep ya'll up to date on the games development.
For now, I hope you enjoy the trailer and if you have any questions please let me know.
Thanks for taking the time to check out Infliction. I'm super excited to be here and can't wait to reveal more as development progresses.
