PLAYTEST IS OUT RIGHT NOW!
NO EXIT Chapter 1 and 2 are out right now!
…Or rather, they’ve actually been out for around 2 weeks already.
You may be wondering why I didn’t make an announcement here earlier. Well, giving myself some time after publishing allowed me to make extra changes, fix bugs, and polish rough edges! That’s why I think now is finally the right time to make a proper announcement here.
What’s in the Playtest? In this playtest, you can play through the full CHAPTER 1 and CHAPTER 2. If you’re out of the loop, that’s 2 out of 3 chapters.
Currently, after a big break, I’ll be starting the long journey of developing CHAPTER 3 (c’mon, I’ve been working on this game for 3 years now, I needed a break, lmao).
But worry not! I plan to keep you updated on Chapter 3’s development as it goes on, including later in this post.
First, let’s talk about what’s actually included in the PLAYTEST.
CHAPTER 1
Chapter 1 includes around 20 minutes of gameplay and serves as a prologue to the game’s story! In this chapter, you’ll encounter 2 chase sequences, a small boss encounter, lots of spooks, and even some exploration. It also introduces the phone’s first ability: FLASH!
This chapter also features the first and for now, only CD Disc in the game (the full release will include more).

CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2 continues the story, introducing the main villain along with three very important characters who play a key role in the plot.
In this chapter, you'll face 3 challenging boss encounters, with funky reactive music! As well as 3 chases, some spooks, easy yet fun puzzles and fun lore!
This chapter also introduces the phone’s second ability: SONAR.

What's up with CHAPTER 3?
Well, I can definitely make a few promises. I can’t guarantee I’ll deliver on all of them, but I’ll try, I always do! (DONT UNBLUR IF YOU HAVEN’T PLAYED THE PLAYTEST YET)
Knowledge's and Chekov's relations ship expanded.
2 brand-new characters, plus some returning familiar faces from both Chapter 1 and Chapter 2!
4 brand-new complex areas!
The story will be fully finished, with a proper closure — no cliffhangers!
A full original score composed by my extremely talented friend, Kai “Kaiser” Ronan!
Dealmaker’s real name revealed …and let’s just say, he’s extremely pissed at you :3
Here's some screenshots for you all...
