Download temporarily disabled

Dear players,

Today I have sad news for you. The download of the game will have to be disabled temporarily in the next few days.

The owners of the real-life escape room, on which "The Sick Colleague" is based, have contacted me and although they acknowledged the effort that went into the digital remake, they found it to be too similar. Therefore they have the rightful concern that someday someone might visit their real-life room knowing how to solve it already because of playing "The Sick Colleague".

Because of that, we agreed to disable the download until I have changed it to a significant amount or until their room gets decommissioned one day. Changing the room would mean a lot of work and my priorities lie with the second room at the moment (which is around 80% finished right now).

If you already downloaded and played the game you will still be able to do so. I will also keep the multiplayer servers up and running. I am sorry for the inconvenience this may cause you.

This event leaves me quite sad, but I hope to finish the second room soon so you can start escaping with your friends again in the near future. Thank you all for playing and the wonderful feedback so far!
