In June, when we've released the Episode 2 teaser map, we were planning on releasing the full second episode during the celebration of the Boomer-Shooter fest we came to know and love under the name Realms Deep. We know many of you were anticipating playing Episode 2 on September 30. Sadly, it will take us a little more time to deliver it to you in the shape we imagined.
Our current goal is to give you the complete EPISODE 2 around Halloween 2023. We are now facing some additional challenges coming from the fact that Mekworx is a decentralized team working from various locations and time zones and the GZDoom engine used in Supplice has some limitations that we would love to overcome in the development process. Good news is - many of these challenges need to be tackled once, and once only. We're hopeful, that episodes 4&5 will be taking less time. We won't be making assumptions as to the 6th and final episode.
That said - we'll make an effort to keep you folks more in the loop as to possible release times of each upcoming episode in the future. Again, we're sorry for the growing delay of Episode 2 release. Thank you for your patience, and all of the support we're receiving from you in our Discord, Twitter, and here, on Steam.
Yours truly,

New & Upcoming Games
Hyperstrangers!
Dreamhack Beyond is right around the corner, Dudes, and you guessed it - we are in it! However, this bit of news isn’t just about that. While you are keeping up with all news related to Supplice, we would like to showcase other things we have been cooking for your gaming pleasure!
But, but, but... before these beauties will be ready to be injected into your veins, you gotta follow and wishlist. It makes the algorithm gods happy and jolts our developers’ hearts with joyful exuberance - whatever that means.
CosmoPirates
Space, the final frontier, a place devoid of the tight-ass bureaucracy. A place where a man can cruise in their Fiat 126p, lick batteries, and be a self-made cosmonaut! Unless you get raided by pirates, poisoned by a hot-dog from an unlicensed food-shuttle or scammed by Kovalsky at the spaceship dealer.
CosmoPirates takes card battling, deck building to the final frontier of cartoonish comedy. Pimp-out your ride, gather your crew, and take out the cringeworthy overlord. Be wary tho, for there always must be a Cringe lord - and on your journey you might just become one.
There are some things that simply go great together although you wouldn’t think so: potatoes and pizza, mayo and ketchup or Zombies and Golf! That’s right! There is nothing more riveting than trying to land a perfect birdie with a horde of the ravenous undead breathing down your neck.
In NecroGolf, an arcade golf simulator with RPG elements and zombies, you can put your precision golfing to the test. NecroGolf releases in less than a month, on September 15th, so make sure to wishlist it, grab your clubs and get in your golf cart, for in this zombie apocalypse, there is only golf.
If you are in for even more Hyperstrangeness, then embark in 77p egg: Eggwife on a quest whose crude, gory, toilet-humor can only be rivaled by games such as Postal 2, Duke 3D, or Goat Simulator.Master your bodily functions to perform such feats as poop-jumping and employ a wide range of "UK-Legal'' weapons such as the Applicator, Crossbowner and Stigmatic 77,000!
Does this masterpiece have a story? Yes, and a relatable one at that. Building a stable relationship isn’t that easy and our protagonist will need your help on his quest to find a new wife!
Let’s step down from the joyful sensory overload of the above mentioned games to something a little bit different. Something less strange and definitely more hyper.
In Empty Shell, a top-down roguelite survival horror, you will get thrown into a secret facility on a Japanese island. Having signed a contract which stated only one condition “recover the designated target”, you will soon learn why it is so important to read the fine print.
During each run, you will try to get the “volunteer” through the facility while dealing with limited visibility, dwindling supplies and whatever is out there, stalking and hunting you throughout the randomized maze of tight-corridors.
If you are peckish and looking for something more crunchy to stimulate your strategic mind, then look no further than Spirit of Liberty, a hardcore, turn-based, historically accurate strategy game set in WWII.
Master the intricacies of the game’s systems to keep your units supplied and armed with the best equipment and dismantle enemy forces through combined-arms tactics and help from your cabinet of generals.
As tradition commands, we have saved the best for the dessert! Hope you're still hungry for here comes our most ambitious in-house project so far.
Hordes of Hunger is a fast-paced action arena slasher with roguelite elements set in the dark fantasy setting of Ismer. A land engulfed by the living hunger, the cosmic horror known only as the Beast. You are the unlucky one still living inside the nightmare and the only way out is through it.
Mekworx team is famous for their meticulous work and for picking what's best out of the GZDoom engine.
As they tirelessly work on making the Supplice: Episode 2 the best possible experience for any classic FPS fan, we invite you to play the new map of the 2nd episode!
What kind of danger lurks for Zorah Null - our fearless protagonist? Remember: She might be outnumbered but never outgunned!
"Why?" you might ask. Simple. You can buy more awesome games for less $$. Of course, we at HYPERSTRANGE run a business. But we also love you to play our games, and enjoy them.
And if you can have fun with what we bring you and save some cash - that's a DOUBLE WIN
So here are the reasons why Steam Summer Sale is awesome:
Recently, we added a new game to our HYPERSTRANGE portfolio. If you want to take some breath from all this violence, shooting, gore, and ultra-fast-acion-hyper-tension... we present you the Trans Neuronica. A game that will put your other traits to the test.
Don't keep this info to yourself. Sharing is caring - let your buddies know.

Supplice is OUT NOW in Early Access!
Supplice has just been released in Early Access
Today you get a chance to get your hands on the game, which has evolved tremendously over the years.
Check out the trailer specially crafted for just this occasion:
Supplice is the best example of what an engaged and hard-working community can do. As you probably know, this project started as a Total Conversion mod for DOOM and evolved into one of the most anticipated RetroFPS stand-alone games.
We want to thank everyone who shared their feedback with us on our social media channels, but most importantly, we would like to give a massive shout-out to the Doomworld.com and Zdoom.org communities! You guys rock!
Wait... there's more!
You've been asking about our protagonist. We have also recently asked you to guess Suppgal's name. Today we can unveil the secret. Our protagonist's name is Zorah Null.
We would like to make a huge announcement that Zorah is portrayed by the one and only Shaina West - an actress, stuntwoman, and ass-kicking, self-taught martial artist.
And we're heavily gonna appreciate it if you give us a review on Steam.
It helps us get along with an algorithm and the Steam visibility (gotta promote them Retro FPSs), and it also lets us know what we did well and what needs improvement.
What will happen during Supplice's Early Access? A full new episode will be launched every 2-3 months, leading to the release of the final episode and the full launch of the game. We’ve also prepped an FAQ for you here: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1693280/view/3727332756617424640?l=english
Bundles!
If one awesome game isn't enough, how about two? Check out some other games from our collection and from our friends:
This is not a drill - Supplice launches in Early Access tomorrow!
Hello Everyone
As you know, Supplice has started as an ambitious Doom megawad and evolved into the idea of a stand-alone game that would not only be a total conversion mod, but would firmly stand on its own feet. At its core, Supplice is the fruit of the passionate Doom modding community, and as such it has community-driven development written in its DNA. The initial vision and formula have been re-imagined and revisited as the concept, its aesthetics, and the GZDoom tech itself evolved over the years.
Tomorrow marks the day when Supplice goes into Early Access, therefore to celebrate the launch, there will be a 15% discount. To quench your interest, here is what you can expect in the future as well as some additional information about the present in the form of a Q&A.
Why Early Access in the first place?
A part of the content has already been polished to a brilliant shine and will be available for you tomorrow, ready for your visual and auditory enjoyment. During the upcoming months, additional content will be perfected and delivered to you.
By adopting this approach, the Mekworx team will have the opportunity to deliver each level at the highest quality possible, not to mention the creative freedom and space.
How long will this game be in Early Access?
Approximately for a year’s time. For the time being, the full release date is set to Q2 2024.
What can we expect during Early Access?
The initial Early Access release consists of the first episode. A full new episode will be launched every 2-3 months, leading to the release of the final episode and the full launch of the game.
How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?
The full game's planned scope is 6 episodes, 5 maps each with some additional secret bonus levels which number won't be disclosed. The Early Access version is already feature-complete in terms of game's mechanics, but the ways in which the game delivers its story is limited and will be expanded in full release. During the development, the price of the game will also rise from $14.99 for Early Access (but will never go beyond $20).
What is the current state of the Early Access version?
As mentioned previously, the initial Early Access release includes the entire 1st episode of the game, which translates to 5 quite extensive maps and one boss fight. Not all weapons available in the game are utilized in those 5 initial maps, and the selection of foes is limited.
True to its Doom-modding roots, Supplice offers user-generated content support from day-1 of Early Access, and there are some Supplice fan-made maps already available.
Can we be a part of the development process?
Following the initial EA release, each next episode will be first released to a limited number of the most active Supplice Discord users, so if you wish to provide feedback, go over to the Discord channel and keep an eye out for invitations.
Hope this answers all of your questions and should you still have some inquiries, then feel free to post them in the comment section. Now, to something definitely more fun!
When you need someone to cover your back with overwhelming firepower, you can always count on the Minigun. Its primary mode behaves as you might expect: barrels spin and delete bad guys with a halo of bullets. However, the alternative mode changes it into a sentry gun that can cover your back or lend additional firepower in a big fight. Eager to give this one a spin? Then grab a copy of Supplice tomorrow.
Yours truly,
Early Access coming in 3 weeks + character reveal
Hello Hyperstrangers,
You've been all up in arms, crowding at the Hyperstrange HQ, demanding to know "what the hell is going on with Supplice!?" Well, you're in luck, because we've got something to tell you. Supplice will be arriving in Early Access on April 6th, 2023. So save the date (as in: wishlist the game!) and make sure not to miss the launch discount.
Character reveal
As you have probably noticed, Supplice has a new sleek art that portrays the heroine herself. For those not in the know, she was part of a terraforming team that now needs to shoot through the mass of nightmarish alien atrocities that human greed has awakened.
The mission was simple: To find a new world for humans on the far end of the galaxy. The team did succeed and activated the portal.
Alas, what was supposed to bring you home brought total annihilation.
You've probably noticed we never mentioned her name. How very observant of you. Can YOU guess the engineer's name? Let us know in the comments.
This is not all what we have for you today, because today we are starting a new series through which we will be giving you a glimpse of what the present and the future has in store for Supplice.
Without further ado, let's delve into the first weapon spotlight!
The classic, the staple, a single shell is capable of giving the bad guys a really bad time and when that is not enough, the alternative mode will load up to 3 shells for a life insurance-canceling shot. Just make sure to take into account the extended reload time between the triple-shots.
Stay tuned, for more is to come!
