Patch notes: Restored the remote Drone control tutorial during the first encounter with a disabled flail hook object. Improved the mini-map display across multiple levels. Minor balance tweaks: adjusted HP values for some enemies and bosses. Nerfed the Circular Saw Blade upgrade — it provided too much power with too little effort, so we’ve decided to rebalance it. Fixed level completion percentage display in boss rooms. Fixed hook points on the Butcher boss. Updated visual effects for toxic clouds. Enemy projectiles no longer pass through doors. Final phase of the Drone boss on Hard difficulty has been adjusted. The internal thought about disabling the Tower will no longer play if it’s already deactivated.

- Roadmap: Our Journey Is Just Beginning - 18 April 2025
Hello everyone! I'm Vadim, the Creative Director of Inayah - Life after Gods. On Discord and Steam, you know me as Force — I’m the one collecting your feedback, helping in tough situations, and sharing project updates. That's just the reality of small but passionate teams! Today, I’d like to share a quick update about what we’re working on and what’s ahead for Inayah. How the Release Went For us, the release went great — it truly felt like a celebration, even though the road leading up to it was long! The release day itself flew by with the same drive and energy we put into creating the game. We love what we do.

Thank you for helping us get better, fix critical bugs, leave warm feedback, and be part of the life of the pr…

Greetings, Pathfinders! It’s me, the High Pathfinder—though my friends just call me Jasper! We saw each other not too long ago, yet so much has happened! Inayah suddenly started talking differently, but don’t worry! It’s definitely her, not some weird bug—I checked! What else? Clio drew some new illustrations, though they’re not about the ancient gods… you’ll see for yourself! Oh, and I almost forgot the most important thing: I’ve redrawn your map so you won’t get lost—otherwise Inayah and I would have to come looking for you! I think that’s everything, but if I missed something, you can read all the details below. In the list below, items marked with were added thanks to your feedback!

- Hotfix - 3 April 2025
Hey everyone! We’ve released a small patch with improvements and bug fixes to make your experience even smoother! Some of the changes marked with were added thanks to your feedback. We really appreciate your input and are working to make the game as comfortable as possible! Main changes: 🧭The “Exit to Menu” and “Exit Game” buttons now save your progress at the moment you entered the last room. Commentary: Previously, players could lose progress if they didn’t die or manually save for a while. Now, just using the "Exit" buttons will save your state. (Alt+F4 still does not save your progress.) Fixes: Fixed a bug with the Guardian disappearing after destroying one of the drones. Quest descriptions now display correctly on the map. Fixed Nanite effects applied by the Archon. In the Great Hunt quest, Nix now uses the correct voice lines if the Runaway Bride quest is already completed. 🧭Fix…

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining our pre-release AMA session — we received even more questions than expected, and they were all really interesting. We love sharing the details of a game we’ve poured our hearts into! A quick reminder that INAYAH: Life After Gods launches tomorrow at 17:00 CET. Now, let's dive into the Q&A!

- INAYAH – Life After Gods (PC) Review - 26 March 2025
I was initially pretty curious about INAYAH – Life After Gods because of what it seemed to offer at first glance—a Metroid-like game, clearly inspired by Hollow Knight’s combat, with a really interesting art style? Sign me up! As I’ve stated many times in the past, Metroid is easily my favourite game series of all time, and I have a particular reverence for Hollow Knight , which probably makes me a bit more critical of attempts to emulate it. But like I’ve said before , if you’re going to adapt something, you really need to understand what it is you’re building from—and I’m not fully convinced INAYAH – Life After Gods does. While it’s not a particularly bad game, it definitely feels like a case of style over substance, and the longer I played, the more annoyed I became with it. The story is fairly straightforward. You play as Inayah—pronounced In-ai-yah —who was orphaned as a child when…

- Devlog: Narrative – How We Tell the Story of INAYAH - 7 March 2025
In Inayah - Life After Gods, we place great emphasis on narrative to immerse you in Inayah's world. We use a variety of storytelling tools: Environmental storytelling Character design (including enemies, bosses, and NPCs) Cutscenes Dialogues Notes Another important storytelling tool is voice acting.

Our game is fully voiced-overed — all dialogues are professionally acted, allowing players to immerse themselves even further in the game's world and experience the story on a deeper level. In this devlog, we will avoid major story spoilers and instead focus on the various narrative mechanics we use to tell the game's story.
