Hey everyone!

You've been asking great questions about the game across various forums, so we figured it's time to answer them all in one place.

Q: Who am I actually playing as?

You're one of the Earthlings. A worker who somehow understands G's demands. G is your mission giver, your shady overlord, and a bit your enemy. He'll keep making your life harder while you smile and nod. In the full game, you'll be able to choose your character and pick from different strengths.

Q: Is the whole game set in the desert?

Nope! The desert is just where the story begins. The full game takes you through four distinct biomes, each with their own events, hazards, and enemies. Here is sneak peek:

Q: There's no coal in ancient Egypt though...

Are you sure this is Egypt? Earthlings is set in a fictional ancient world. One where anything can happen. And will happen. Like coal in Egypt.

Q: What's the deal with those weird creatures?

Some of them - hyenas, vultures - are just regular Earthly wildlife. But ever since G landed, something has been waking up. Ancient beasts are stirring, and ordinary animals are turning into something far scarier. Our best theory? It has something to do with G's anxiety levels, which seem to affect the entire ecosystem around him.

Q: What are those satellite things in the demo?

G didn't come empty-handed. He has some serious tech at his disposal, and he's putting it to good use to set up his little business operation on Earth.

Q: Will the game have Hungarian localization?

Igen! In other words: Yes, Hungarian will be fully supported in the full game, alongside several other languages. A few translations may arrive shortly after the 1.0 release, but Hungarian is on the list.

Q: What about Steam Deck and controller support?

Controller support is coming for the full release. The current demo is focused on mouse & keyboard, but it runs well on Steam Deck using the touch pads. Give it a try!

Thx once again for your questions. Try the demo, tell a friend, wishlist!

Talk to you next time!
