Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well (and staying sane in there 😉).
I'm making a small but important change today: the price of Isolation Simulator is increasing from $2.99 to $4.99 USD.
Why now?
When the game launched in Early Access at $2.99, a lot of players understandably assumed it was a short joke experience — something you boot up for 10 minutes, sit in the room, and move on with a "yep, it's exactly what it says on the tin" review. Many people have quit after just a few minutes in the isolation cell, thinking that's all there is.
But the truth is, Isolation Simulator is much more than that. Right now, the game already offers well over 6 hours of content for those who keep exploring, experimenting, and digging deeper. There's a real story unfolding, layers of secrets, audio logs, hidden mechanics, and a lot of disturbing (and rewarding) discoveries waiting beyond the initial stillness.
Raising the price is my way of better reflecting the scope and effort that's gone into the game — and, honestly, to help set clearer expectations. At $4.99, new players are more likely to give it a real chance instead of dismissing it early as "just a 10-minute meme." I want you to stick around, explore, and experience what the game truly has to offer.
This is a solo-developed project, built entirely by one person in spare time. Every line of code, every audio file, every hidden detail — it's all come from countless late nights and a genuine passion for creating something unique. I’m proud of what’s here, and I have no shame looking in the mirror and saying this is worth $4.99.
If you already own the game — thank you. You got in at the Early Access price, and you’re supporting the final stretch toward the 1.0 release (planned for April). Your feedback and patience mean everything.
To anyone still on the fence: the game is deeper and stranger than it first appears. Give it time. Poke around. Things start to happen.
Thanks for being part of this weird little journey. See you in the cell.
