I decided The Subject was a great setting to be able to expand upon and built a new experience around the Kohat complex location from the game. Kohate is a, small, stand alone project with a single goal of having a fun time in a single sitting.
Stealth horror
Multiple endings
secrets to discover
Casual mode (no monster)
Designed to be played in one sitting
Kohate a fun and easy way to support my larger projects. I hope you have a chance to give it a try and have some fun!
Kohate launch & Mortuary Assistant full development
After I launched Our Secret Below in July, I looked at the calendar and thought it might be cool to try and get a short game in out in time for Halloween. I wanted to jump right into The Mortuary Assistant but figured a few months on MA would not be as impactful as a full new title!
So I started on Kohate. A spin-off of my first project The Subject, Kohate focuses much more on the survival aspect as apposed to the puzzle-heavy aspect of The Subject. It's short, fun, and filled with secrets, lore, and multiple endings.
I also have an updated planned with a fourth ending for October 22. Kohate launches today for $4.99! I hope you can go pick it up and be sure to leave a review!

The Mortuary Assistant
Now that Kohate is finished, I have started on full development of The Mortuary assistant! The environment is larger, there will be more dead bodies, and you will actually embalm them! I'm very excited to start on this project as it is very special to me.
There is currently now launch date set other than an aim for spring-summer next year. So be sure to follow my Twitter and keep an eye on development!
I'm very excited to announce a new chapter in The Subject universe with Kohate. Return to BioMass Labs' mysterious complex with an all new experiment, a heavy focus on stealth, survival, and story.
Kohate is a departure from the puzzle-themed nature of The Subject that focuses heavily on the atmosphere and lore surrounding Kohate. Work your way through the complex to the completion room on the other side while collecting blood samples for processing.

Avoid the abomination roaming the halls at all costs
Play stealthy or play loud, but stay alive
Multiple endings
Find story rich data blocks
Secrets and Easter eggs to discover
Only $4.99 - WHAT!?
DEVELOPER NOTE
I was going to jump directly into The Mortuary Assistant development after Our Secret Below launched in July. But I looked at the calendar and thought it might be cool to try and get something a little extra out for Halloween.
The Subject will always be dear to me as it is my first ever solo project, but I have grown a lot since then as an indie dev and I wanted to build upon what I set out to create. While Kohate is a short experience, I believe there is a lot to it that makes it extremely fun. I hope you feel the same way. Thank you so much for your support and taking the time to check out this post.
