Hi everybody! We've got some exciting news to share with you all:
After careful consideration of our business model, we have decided to make Psychosis into freeware! This means that everybody on Steam will be able to add it to their Steam library and play it and all of its content (current and future) for completely free, no strings attached. Absolutely no in-game transactions or any nonsense like that either.
This was decided for a couple reasons, the most important being that we want to garner a bigger player base, and that's notoriously difficult to do with tiny niche indie games on Steam.
We also based this decision on the fact that game development is substantially more stressful when money is involved, and seeing as how working on Psychosis is a part-time hobby for all of us, we want it to be as stress-free as possible.
These pricing changes should go into effect within the next month or so, pending approval from Steam.
More important news to share:
We will soon be releasing the next milestone patch for Psychosis, which includes the long-awaited ‘daughter’ chapter of the game. This new chapter should hopefully be out by the end of the year.
Previously the game has only featured the ‘son’ chapter, which is actually chronologically the second chapter of three.
This new ‘daughter’ chapter is the first chapter of the game and is currently in a rough prototype stage of completion. We realize the substantial length of time it's taken to come out with this. Aside from the much needed long break after the initial Early Access release, a lot of mechanics and systems needed to be redone and refined in order to support future content, which naturally takes a lot of planning and development time. (Not to mention planning, designing, and building all the actual content for this new chapter.)
But soon it’ll finally be at a stage ready to be played by all of you! Please join the Discord to stay closer tuned for more updates. :-)
