Greetings, @Skarlax771; I hope you’re doing well. Thank you for sharing the tantalizing announcement trailer for your upcoming game, “Once Alive,” with us in the forums! There’s a story waiting to be told about our protagonist James and his brother, and the virus outbreak itself, and I’m ready to experience it! :star_struck:

How long have you been developing “Once Alive”? Are you excited about its release? :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi there @Skarlax771,

Hope you’re having a spectacular week so far!

This felt incredibly reminiscent of The Last of Us and Amnesia. The normal apocalypse horror aspects that come with zombie games are there, but the otherworldly human-like being standing in front of the fire felt eerily like a ghost from Amnesia. Those elements combined with the desperation of the character create a truly haunting feeling while watching the trailer. Wonderful storytelling! :slight_smile:

Thanks so much for sharing and I can’t wait to see more!

Thanks a lot for your kind words @Zezkaii , if I need to be honest, I don’t have any plans for releasing a demo at the moment. Reason is, the story is the first priority in this game and it will only make sense when you experiance the whole game. That’s why I imagine it will be difficult you to see the game’s true potential from a demo.

But, never say never :smile: I know releasing a demo is good for marketing purposes. I’ll keep you posted about this matter if there will be any update. Thanks again for your anticipation on this! It’s always a pleasure to answer your questions :slight_smile:

Wish you a spectacular week :star_struck:
