January progress update

We are actively working on Chapter 3:2, in which the player will have at his disposal a spacious location fraught with many stories and secrets - Lisaland!

🌜The environment of Lisaland is 80% ready - check out the beauty of the location in the screenshots at the end of the news!

🌜We also decided to introduce a new type of interaction with the environment - a dialogue system! This will allow players to:

  • chat with NPCs and learn their stories
  • to understand in more detail what is actually happening in this godforsaken world
  • and even complete some tasks

Due to the dialogues, the non-linearity of the passage of Noch will reach a new level: the development of the plot will depend on the player (that is, on you). As you agree (and with whom!), so be it.

🌜And, of course, in Lisaland, players will meet a new powerful boss. To win in an unequal battle, you will have to pay special attention to the enemy's techniques and find a unique approach to protecting the enemy. We do not recommend acting directly!







First Step 3:1 Hotfix Update

Chapter 3.1 came out a week ago, and we immediately started fixing everything that unexpectedly broke.

The most important updates:

  • Save problem with First Step 3:1 fixed. Now a new chapter is available for everyone.
  • Minor coop connection issues fixed.
  • Minor localisation fixes
  • Optimisation improvements

First Step 3:1 fixes:

  • Fight music doesn't stop now
  • Flying enemies pathfinding improved
  • Chain in the main hall become more stable
  • Minor missing sound fixes

Previous chapters fixes:

  • Myst Spheres damage balance (2:1, 2:2)
  • Myst Wolves now can be damaged underground by Combat Converter alternative shot (2:2)
  • Multiple layered HP bar bug fixed (2:2)
  • Combat Converter now doesn't break during final fight (2:2)


The new chapter 3:1 is already available!

It's time to dive into the ordinary madness of the main characters' relationships (relationship status: it's complicated) and get detailed instructions on how to destroy the world from Lisa.
That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for a destroyed world.

How to play coop

As long as we switched the game to new network there is some problems with connections among players. So we did a video to show how to connect to coop mode.
We already working on make it more clear and friendly.

New chapter is here!

Good news everyone! We finally got to midborder! Edge of the world is available on Steam! 
But there is a few problems that we couldn't fix right now. Lately we moved our game to Epic online services to make Noch coop mode available for players in other stores/platforms.  And it caused some troubles with achievements system. For now acievement's progress will be saved in EOS system and apear on your Steam account right after "coming-soon" update. 

Next is, for our Chinese and Japan speaking players - unfortunately THIS localizations is still in process and we will add it very soon too.

And that's it! Update your game or buy it and let's go! One step to a new reality.... Noch is already here
