Hi everyone, I am very happy to finally present the release of Version 3.0! Episode 3: The Voice from the Deep... is now live on Steam and contains a big pack of new contents:
A new chapter extends the storyline and introduces completely new contents, including a brand new magical character.
Direct continuation of Episode 2 starting at the monastery.
Introduction of the brand new area Twilight Atoll and the Sunken Labyrinth.
Episode 3 contains 80 new camera perspectives/screens!
New game play modes Swim & Dive allow the exploration of elsewise unreachable areas.
Reveal what is hidden in the island’s guts with new game play mode Treasure Hunt!
Weather changes cause variations in visual impressions and interaction options!
Interact with various animals and creatures from the island!
Meet our episode guest star: Cthulhu!
7 new optional achievements to gain!
Improved translations (esp. French).
...and much more. See below for full details on bugfixes and changes.
Also don't miss the brand new trailer for Episode 3: How to get Episode 3 Update to Episode 3 is free for everyone who already purchased the game. If you only played the free demo yet, purchase a full version in the Steam store now to get Episodes 1, 2 and 3 immediately (plus episodes 4 and 5 in 2017). How to play Episode 3 Open Steam and let the client update your game installation. Start A Room Beyond and continue a saved game. As Episode 3 continues Episode 2 it is not possible to directly start in Episode 3. You have to finish Episode 2 to continue to the next chapter via the Episode tree shown at the end of each episode: This release was tested to be stable in common. However we are still in Early Access and if you find a bug, let me know so I can fix it. :) Best, -- René
