Version 1.0.2.0 out now
Few variables fixes to prevent the player to break the game in a very specific way.
Thank you!
Order from Caos 2 Update 1.0.1.1 is available now
I hope you're doing well.
I've come to talk about some updates in Order from Caos 2.
I've added indicators at the save points and map exits to make life easier for those who aren't accustomed to playing 2D RPGs.
Some enemies from the beginning of the campaign had their defense points slightly reduced.
And the game's logo has changed. This is to achieve a uniqueness in the series of games. It still allows me the freedom to create within this format and indicate unique elements of each story. Additionally, it's a way to organize the entire visual from now into the future.
Thank you for your continued support.
Until next time.

5 side quest you should do in Order from Caos 2
1 - Gertrudes (Judy)
I know many people complain because they lose a battle to a poor chicken... or should I say rooster? Well, the battle isn't really as difficult as it seems; just explore the city, and at level 2, the fight becomes easy. It's important to note that it's not possible to finish this sidequest after the Boss Duong battle at the lake. But why is this sidequest about a chicken important? Well, in Order from Caos (2020), there was a chicken near the protagonist's house, and it was the first time I tested how to program a Steam Achievement as a developer. That's why I carry this love for poultry in the series.
2 - Maria
Maria was a sidequest that exhausted me during its creation. There were characters in different places that needed to deal with variables that changed according to the progress of the main plot. It was one of the sidequests that flirted with the darker side since it made sense to have a kind of haunting being exorcised in the churchyard. I also felt that it's important to highlight this sidequest because, upon closer inspection, there's a hint of discussion about each person's role in society. Despite the good relationship between the two involved, they were still reflections of Bratania's society.
3 - All the Viridis are gone
Well... This sidequest is special because it's very complex to complete. The player needs to find almost 30 viridis to achieve this achievement and unlock Alicia's full power. To accomplish this feat, the player must have initially defeated all the viridis. Each defeated viridi releases its completely green counterpart. These are the viridis that cling to our world and refuse to depart. At that moment, the player needs to find it on the map and defeat it, releasing its power for Alicia to use. This sidequest touches my soul because we're talking about Alicia, a girl who discovers her strength by borrowing the powers of beings that are her enemies. Besides, it's a way for her to show how special she is.
4 - Personal Tunnel
I see this sidequest as a tribute to one of my favorite manga authors, Junji Ito. In the game, a man talks about the existence of a personal tunnel that would take the individual's soul to the other world. Indeed, he is a sad and hopeless man. In the end, when you are already in Hell, in the other world, you meet the man again. Indeed, he had a tunnel for himself. It's a more visual reference to Ito's work, but here is the homage.
5 - State of the Art
Oscar is a name signaled several times in some sculptures throughout the game. These monuments can be seen in some cities, usually seen as gifts to the cities. When the player actually finds Oscar, he is debilitated and feels very unappreciated by society, life, and people who can see the value in art and what it represents for human beings. He basically dies without knowing that his art was appreciated. I find this sidequest especially important because it discusses the value we give to the artist who creates the art we consume. He devoted his life to this purpose and left the cities with important symbols for each one. In the end, tragedy was his reward.
Bonus - Strange Symbols
I know I said I would talk about 5 sidequests, but I think it's necessary to talk about this one too. When I created the 5 Primordials, I thought about making a DLC with them, but I decided to delay the game's release by three months to polish it better and deliver as much content as possible. There are five special dungeons along the journey with unique puzzles and the possibility of fighting remnants of the most powerful beings in the Order from Caos 2 universe, at least those presented in the game. It's an optional sidequest, but I strongly suggest doing it because there are subtexts in some sidequests that, when combined, make the player understand the story a little better as a whole. But don't worry. It's possible to understand the main story by playing from start to finish.
I've talked a lot already. I want to thank everyone who was able to play. It's always great to see people playing. Some send me messages here or by email, and I'm happy with all the feedback. I hope you continue to follow me in the next stories. I have some to share with you, my friends.
Until next time.

New Game Plus
I hope you're well and enjoying Order from Caos 2. It was an enormous effort that took over 2 years and 2,000 hours to create. There's a lot of content within the game, and all feedback is welcome.
I'd like to talk about the New Game Plus mode.
You can finish the game and start over while keeping your attributes and experience points. Remember that the second time you play, the monsters will be stronger, but they will also drop more items, more gold, and more experience points.
I hope you all complete the game at your own pace and can savor every moment that Order from Caos 2 has to offer.
Thank you all for your feedback.
See you soon.
Thank you!
Order from Caos 2 is 10 days away!
I'm exhausted but very happy. The game is complete, and now I'm working on translations for other languages. It took years to produce this game, and I hope all of you, my friends who enjoy turn-based RPGs, can have fun with Order from Caos 2.
For those who already know, you'll be aware that the game has no relation to the first one. So, you can play without fear. Everyone will start without knowing anything.
I'll be honest here, making games is exhausting, but it's so rewarding. While playing the game to test some bugs, I got emotional because I felt like the characters were alive. It was as if they were my actual companions. I wrote the story in 2006, started turning it into a game in 2020, and I'm only publishing it now. It's a joy and a relief to be able to share this story with you.
My only wish is that we can exchange ideas about the game and the characters that inhabit this world.
In the original Order from Caos, some talked about how satisfying it was to defeat nihilists. In Order from Caos 2, the fight is against domination, against those who control. It can be control over regions, people, or the future.
Anyway, I wrote this because I wanted to proudly share with you that Order from Caos 2 is officially ready and will be officially launched at Brasil Game Show, the largest game event in Latin America, for an audience of over 300,000 people.
We've had over 16,000 downloads of the demo. I can't wait to chat with you when the game is out.
Buy the game here on Steam. See you in the next update.
See you in the next update.
Until next time.
Order from Caos 2: 100 achievements and more features
This is Renan, the developer of Order from Caos 2.
August has arrived.
We are getting closer to the release of Order from Caos 2. I want to thank you all for the messages of support, suggestions, and feedback. All the feedback has been essential in shaping the game to what it is now.
I would like to announce that Order from Caos 2 is playable from start to finish. Everything is ready. Currently, I am mainly looking for possible bugs and thoroughly testing all aspects of the game. Additionally, I am working on balancing the game. I intend to keep it challenging. There will be some grinding involved, but players who explore the world thoroughly may be rewarded and won't find battles too harsh. My goal is not to create a Dark Souls level of difficulty, so no worries, but I also don't want to make an RPG with no challenges at all.
I have implemented some requested features and added others:
- Enemy cards now display indications of attack types that can deal more damage and those that are more resistant.
- The game features 100 properly configured achievements.
- There are a total of 55 quests, including main and side quests.
- I've added a few more special weapons for the characters.
- Weapons are no longer locked and do not replace previous weapons. Previously, with each upgrade, the previous weapon was discarded. That doesn't happen anymore. However, you won't be able to sell weapons anywhere.
- Some monsters have undergone changes in their sprites.
- I've added a few more scenes to better understand the story and mechanics.
- There are 80 cards to be found throughout the game. The cards can be viewed in the bestiary.
- The biggest change in recent days, and the one that gave me the most work, was implementing the NEW GAME PLUS functionality. After completing Order from Caos 2, you can start New Game Plus and keep all weapons, armor, cards, levels, abilities, money, and achievements.
I hope I can count on all of you in this journey. I'm counting down the days to share all this work that started back in 2019 with you.
Here are some more screenshots. And don't forget to add Order from Caos 2 to your Wishlist.
Until next time.
