- News from Lappi Soft and our projects - 6 April 2026
Hello everyone, It’s been over a year since my last message, and I wanted to give you an update. As I explained back then, my priority had become my family situation. In the months that followed, things became even more complicated. My wife, Aude, gradually lost the little vision she had left due to cataract opacity. Given her already fragile condition, the surgeons decided to wait until the cataract was fully opaque before operating, to delay the procedure as long as possible. They also prepared a corneal graft as a backup, in case her already weakened cornea could not withstand the surgery. Between June and October, she was completely in the dark. During that period, I continued to act as a full-time caregiver. Very practically, this left me no time to work on The Inspector or Wild Dose. The surgery finally took place in October. Fortunately, it went well, and her vision gradually ret…
- Unity Security Update - 25 March 2026
Hello everyone,First Session is celebrating its 5th anniversary this month! I would have loved to release an Anniversary Edition, but as I mentioned in a previous update, I’m no longer a full-time game developer.That said, I’ve managed to provide a proper update to fix the Unity security vulnerability, albeit a bit late, I’ll admit.To put things in perspective: even large studios with much bigger games relied on the patch provided by Steam, which covered most cases. As a solo developer working part-time, I took the time to offer you a complete and solid security fix - late, yes, but done properly - for a game that’s over five years old.Thank you all for your patience and support over the years. I hope this update improves the game’s security and gives you a reason to dive back into First Session.Maxime - Lappi Soft

- First Session: Full Restoration - 1 August 2025
Hi everyone,I’ve heard your feedback — truly.And you’re right: I should have handled things differently.To prevent Steam’s algorithm from burying First Session — because Steam only highlights games that generate sales — I had considered making the game paid. But that would have erased all your Steam reviews (yes, that’s how it works, I don’t make the rules). So instead, I opted for a paid DLC, which I called the “Remaster.” However, part of that Remaster’s content had originally been included in the free version — which made it feel like I was charging you for something you already had. And that’s not OK.I thought about a solution. I apologize for not acting sooner, but as I explained earlier this year, the last 24 months have been truly chaotic: What changes today:All the base content has been restored in the free version.The related achievements are once again available to everyone.Th…
- Wild Dose: an important update - 15 January 2025
Hello everyone, It's been a long time since I've given any news about Wild Dose, and it's time to take stock of why I've been silent in 2024. Sorry in advance for this probably “too long to read” post, but there's a lot to say. A little background In 2022, Lappi Soft was lucky enough to join the Polish acceleration program Digital Dragons, and thus obtain budget for the development of Wild Dose. Not being a 3D artist, I took advantage of this opportunity to work with two artists, Darya (part-time freelance) and Zuzanna (full-time junior), who joined me at the end of 2022, in order to have our own 3D models, our own identity. I like to think we succeeded in giving Wild Dose a more assertive artistic direction, and I personally loved that period when we were building this world. Unfortunately, I soon realized that my impromptu role as art director was preventing me from making progress on…

- First Session has been restored - 9 May 2024
Dear Members of the Pack, Last year, I took the decision to withdraw the initial version of First Session because it no longer corresponded to what Wild Dose was. Leaving this version freely available was damaging the game's image, especially with the French Independent Video Game Cup taking place, for which we were one of the finalists. I'm pleased to announce that First Session has been restored and is now freely playable in its original version, as it was released in 2021. You'll be able to experience : A Fresh Air session with Nora, your artificial intelligence The discovery of the Void and an encounter with the Capetian A flash appearance by a member of the Pack when you arrive in Wild Dose For those who wish, you can also enjoy the DLC “First Session Original Remastered”, which contains, in addition: The continuation of your adventure in Wild Dose An immersive-sim section with que…
- A word about the DLC - 30 September 2023
The original version of First Session has been withdrawn as it no longer corresponds to what Wild Dose is after 2 years of work. Leaving this version freely available was detrimental to the game's image, especially with the French Independent Video Game Cup currently taking place, for which we are one of the finalists. The new demo should have replaced the prologue this month, but production has been severely delayed due to serious medical problems. As stated in its description, the DLC is there for those who wish to support the development of Wild Dose, it's a form of "supporter Pack" for fans, containing in addition to the Original Prologue exclusive achievements. The aim of this operation was never to make money, but to offer a special counterpart to those who wished to support this project (if we were interested in money, we would never have tried to survive in the video game indust…

- Wild Dose Prototypes Playtesting is now open to public! - 1 July 2022
Hey Cyberjunkies, You can now shape the future of Wild Dose by playtesting the prototypes and providing your feedback. Just go to Wild Dose Steam page and request access: In this playtesting round, you will chain a series of prototypes. If you get stuck, you can return to the main menu to choose another prototype. The prototypes are as basic as possible, so as to focus on game mechanics and avoid being distracted by the art direction. However, effects, animations, or simplified models have been added so that actions are logical (like moving enemies or shooting effects). These are sketches and not the final rendering. Also, a little effort has been made into the sound design, as it is an important element of gameplay for the psychological horror genre. Depending on your feedback, some mechanics will be reworked, and others will be removed (if an idea really doesn't work, I'll throw it aw…
