- Important Update 3.2.1. The new Demo! - 21 October 2019
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/750339132399737742/B841B5642A7F52220AC718E9625E9CE9A853CAFA/ Dear friends! The last couple of months I've been preparing for a new frontier in my game development. But this stage I will keep a secret for now, but it forced me to study more deeply work on optimization of games. In this regard, I have prepared a major update related to the optimization and stable operation of the game. Since I initially optimized the performance of the game well, despite its rather high requirements at a small size, this is quite a normal load for the Unreal Engine 4, considering that I tried to use all the modern achievements in the field of graphics. The game was praised for good optimization, although there were claims that the Witcher 3 or GTA 5 work better. It has a simple explanation. I tried to use in game such receptions, which in games rarely use or not…
- A big update is coming soon. Discounts! - 30 September 2019
Hi! It’s been a long time without a news. I’m preparing a big optimization update. Also I’ve fixed a lot of small bugs. So now you can get the game “Never Again” with a 35% discount! Good luck!
- Traditional summer sale 2019! Update 3.1.5 - 25 June 2019
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/771720478339458299/BEC90D224562D588F8E6AB9C83DF96861F276CC8/ Steam's annual summer sale has begun! You can purchase the game at a 25% discount. This is a very important event for us because we were forced to get out of early access to the release without a discount, for a small no name game this is a big obstacle. Today is almost the second release or even the third if we take into account the release in early access:) Also yesterday I rolled out the update to 3.1.5 I rewrote the logic of the physical parts of the dolls in the cave, because of each collision played a lot of logical operations in this place strongly sagged fps. Optimized. Sometimes the damaged wire would hit the electricity even when the power was off. This problem could only be solved by rebooting the level. I never found a reason, so I rewrote the logic. I also added a check -…
- Updates 3.1.3 and 3.1.4 . Two new songs. - 27 May 2019
I made the update to 3.1.3 about 2 weeks ago, but I didn’t find the strength to report the fixes after the release. Now I report two updates at once: There was no change in the animation of falling from a bridge with an asthma attack. Instead of the sound of falling into the water, the sound of falling to the ground was played. Corrected. I accidentally added one extra page to the “The train”note. Corrected. The sound of Emma's footsteps rarely remained in the lighthouse. Corrected. If you pick up the phone with the flashlight off, traces didn’t appear. Now Sasha turns on the flashlight if it is off. Removed all unnecessary lighting from inactive items, which misled the player. Corrected. There wasn’t a lock texture on white doors. Corrected. The boarded-up windows had subtitles, but no voice. Added. If the Queen of Spades caught the player while erasing the last mirror, she didn’t disa…
- First fixes after release! 3.1.2 - 10 May 2019
I noticed that some players do not understand whether the game is released or not. Officially came out! The game can be played! We found a few bugs, there are small - visual, and hard bugs - make the game impassable. Statistics. There was a serious bug that did not delete the statistics if you start a new game after the full passage. Because of this it was possible to get some achievements without passing the game. Now it's fixed, the loophole is closed!) I fixed some issues with the game menu that had to restart the game. I also fixed a very serious bug that had to start the game again. If the player standing in the bath pressed the mirror with a painted stairs, then after the cut scene the player was thrown back into the bath. I hope you won’t find such serious bugs anymore. After the death of the bosses there were a subtitle with their last sentence sometimes. Fixed. If you die of as…

- Really important information about release! - 25 April 2019
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/814499055609449141/176B1014579796442C38D8CEC40CB1C44CAF1A96/ Very soon our game on which we worked for 4 years comes out. With this great event we want to inform you about several important points. IMPORTANT! I deliberately changed the name of the save file so that everyone would start the game again. Due to lack of experience, I was not able to assess all the possible bugs that will cause the division of the game into chapters. The main problem is physics. Where there was nothing now is a mirror or a wardrobe and if you previously put a chair in this place, it will cause problems. I reworked the game to fully feel the atmosphere and plunge into the story, it is better to go through the game from the beginning. New mechanics, sounds, notes, monologues were added. However, old saves won't be deleted, but I ask you to use them only after completi…

It's time to tell you about who we are and why we create the game for so many years. We are a young couple from Russia. We have been together for 7 years and 4 years we create a computer game «Never Again». This is our first project and, to be honest, it is difficult to imagine our life without it. First of all, the game is based on the story, emotional experiences and then the game component. My name is Inna, I write the script, also adapt the game for the English-speaking audience and I am the voice of the main character. Valentine makes the game itself, the characters, he creates a virtual world for our story. And also writes an amazing music that you can check during the game. Because it's more than just a game to us, we strive to make it as good as possible. But due…

I’m afraid to call the exact release date, but presumably it is March 2019.

I want to tell you about the stage of development of the game, because I haven’t released updates for a long time and there was little news from me. And also I want to tell you about the winter sale and subsequent sales before the full release. Now the development is at a stage where I can’t tell much about the game because of the spoilers and I have already gone far from the final of the second Chapter to make another update which fixes minor bugs, not to mention the fact that the final of the second Chapter was redesigned in favor of a more logical and coherent narrative. It was also decided to add a few new mechanics one of which I was asked to do for a long time. You can climb on chairs to reach objects that are too high. Finally it will be possible to get closer to…

But the page in the store isn’t approved yet, unfortunately. The plan was to release the OST with the discounts. The tracks are prepared and you need to press just one button. Well, we’ll wait for the approval of the page. Now you can listen to the preview here: https://youtu.be/C2ghQlRGYSI I put all my talent into the music for the game. I tried to write the tracks so that the story was revealed from an unexpected side. Until the game is fully released will be available 5 tracks. After the release DLC will be supplemented by other tracks. Well, we're waiting for approval. Thank you for staying with us!
- Update 2.5.1 a New version of the UE4 - 13 September 2018
https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F30144184%2Ff930355c5181f317fa0807231b39c075bd2e7d6c.jpg I moved the game to a new version of the engine. It's always an exciting moment because something always breaks. I fixed all the broken moments, tested, everything should be fine! + FPS should rise because in the engine there have been changes that have a positive impact on optimization. Finally made normal hair the second boss!:) I fixed a bug with the respawn at the second boss. Now the boss won't kill you several times in a row but he still kills when you respawn. If you were in sight and moved, I know how to fix it, but you should carefully this time to test. It will be in the next update. I've redesigned the lighthouse. But this is not the final version. This location was made in a hurry and still needs improvement. I've fixed animation of turning on the flashlig…

https://steamusercontent-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/942829154616432153/7255CCADDE535686235151EC0403B4417D168456/ As we want to share with you the ending of the game as soon as possible, but we remain calm and move to this point. Some new fixes: I’ve done the new icon design in the diary to make it easier to understand that interaction is possible between items in the diary. Fixed some minor bugs in it. Changed the behavior of bosses in favor of the atmosphere. Partially altered mechanics of the bridge. The closer to the middle of the road, the more you stagger. Before that, you staggered a lot along the way. Redesigned icon in the closet. To facilitate the passage of the puzzle. Now the breaking mirrors is a skeletal animation. Before it was physical destructible objects and sometimes it led to a fatal error and closed the game. This is a drawback of the engine. Maybe it will be fixed in the fu…
