- ASYLUM opens its doors on March 6, 2025 - 31 October 2024
Hello, fans of Serena! Remember that "Waiting for ASYLUM" easter egg in the game? Well, you won't be able to make jokes about it anymore: fate has decided that ASYLUM will launch on March 6, 2025. Yup, mark your calendars, this is not a drill.

- ASYLUM: New gameplay video and livestream! - 20 November 2019
Hi all! 👋 This is a brief update to show you our new gameplay video. A collection of greatly improved, familiar locations and new ones, focusing on interactions and things to do — including speaking with the mysterious denizens of the asylum! Take a look: https://youtu.be/2-YgD6FhsmI The game is working remarkably well. In fact, any stuttering you may notice in the video was our recording software behaving erratically 🙄 But, what you see here is 100% in-game stuff, no processing, no tricks. Asylum is running with a stable 60fps in fullscreen High quality on a 3-year old computer. It's even perfectly playable on Very High quality with extra sharp graphics! So this is how the game looks and feels, and we hope you like it 😊 Just a tiny glimpse of many more locations you'll have to explore! LIVESTREAM (CONFIRMED) I'm really sorry about this one. I should've posted more updates here. The…
- Why is ASYLUM taking so long (and also news about Serena!) - 26 February 2019

We hope you've been enjoying the ASYLUM updates, our huge upcoming adventure that will surely satisfy your craving for more mysteries and horrors. As we describe in our latest post, we tell you why the project has been taking so long, but we also tell you when we expect it to be ready: https://steamcommunity.com/games/asylum/announcements/detail/1776011874558802996 (spoiler: things are finally looking pretty good!) As for Serena, we're aware the game is dated and several bugs have surfaced. We honestly never expected to have such a huge audience (well over 2.000.000 downloads now!) and admit we should dedicate it some time, even as a free game. We are planning to do so — among features such as Steam achievements and new easter eggs, we have…

We hope you're off to a terrific 2019! As promised, we come bearing a series of exciting news from the sinister corridors of ASYLUM (and of course eye candy, because we know you love it). Here we go! STATUS UPDATE... AND POSSIBLE RELEASE! Things are progressing speedy and smoothly, so we feel comfortable to disclose our plans. To recap, since December hundreds of Kickstarter backers have been playing a good chunk of the game with overwhelmingly positive reactions. We can confirm ASYLUM is performing great and no major issues have shown their ugly face. Even better, we seem to have hit a stride, meeting milestone after milestone: we're wrapping up an even larger segment of the game now, and expecting to hit beta around May. A beta in…

It's a huge milestone after all this time! This is an internal demo that we're sharing with Kickstarter backers, and so far initial reactions have been hugely positive: players are in love with the atmosphere and agree that, even after this short glimpse, "what we can expect was worth the wait" and they are "very excited to delve deeper into the dark, decaying corners of ASYLUM!". Did we say short? Yes, it's only a fraction of the final game, yet backers reported playing 60 minutes, as much as 90! This means our estimation of 10-12 hours for the final game is either spot o…

It’s been an exceptionally busy month for ASYLUM and it’s not over yet. Things are progressing fast and we’re happy to report that we’re just about to wrap up a big playable chunk of the game — in near final form, truly polished and ready for public consumption. Exciting times ahead, and the momentum on Steam keeps getting better! We’re now nearing 14.000 wishlists, mere days after we reached 10.000. Wow, just wow! EVERY DETAIL COUNTS Most work on the project now amounts to adding interactive stuff and implementing the remaining puzzles. It’s taking time, though, because we’re going out of our way to add as many details as possible. We plan to reward your observation as you unlock the mysteries concealed by the dreadful Han…

It's finally possible to complete a first big chunk of the game, conversations included, which is a big milestone for us. While we haven't recorded voice overs yet, this should give you a good idea of what it feels like interacting with denizens of the asylum. And since we're here, let us show you a glimpse from one of the most menacing rooms in the game: https://youtu.be/qGDCnCEPN5o This screams ATMOSPHERE, right? You'll be scre…

We’re happy to report ASYLUM is nearly feature complete and we did a little video to show you: https://youtu.be/9m9zIbjGh9Q "Feature complete" is a crucial milestone meaning all the systems intervening in the game (exploration, inventory, dialogues, menu, etc.) are ready.
