DEV UPDATE: Demo Progress & Steam Next Fest

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share a small development update on Behind Closed Doors.

  • Over the past month, a lot of time has gone into animation work, and reaching this stage has been incredibly motivating. Chapters are being built alongside the animations rather than afterward, and the project is gradually shifting from individual pieces into a more complete, story-driven experience.
  • The demo is currently being developed as a vertical slice of the full game, created to properly represent its tone, visuals, and choice-driven structure. This is an exciting step for the project, as it’s the first time the game really has to stand on its own. While it comes with its own challenges, progress has been steady and the direction feels right.
  • Behind Closed Doors is officially registered for Steam Next Fest (February), and the current focus is on polish, stability, and presentation to make sure the demo delivers a strong first impression.

Thank you so much to everyone who has wishlisted the game and followed its development, your support genuinely means a lot and helps more than you might realize. More updates coming soon as development continues.

Best wishes, Ennushka

Additional previews, behind-the-scenes updates and community discussions are shared on Patreon and Discord for those interested in following development more closely.

The real danger isn't just hiding what happened—it's pretending nothing has changed.…Community26 Aug 2026Chapter 4 Development Update: Exploring Mini-Animations!Hello everyone! 😊 With Chapter 3 essentially finished, development on Chapter 4 is officially underway. The story will deal with the consequences of your previous choices, and the paths you've chosen will diverge even further.

The Elena path is now approaching its conclusion, and I'm really happy with how it's coming together. Once that's finished, the only major story route left to create will be Mira's path. At the moment, I'm still deep in the rendering process, which continues to take up most of my time. After the renders are complete, I'l…
