Solve or Die changes
We have split our roadmap for 2026 into three big chunks. All while sticking to our vision
To bring you unforgettable experience in a horror universe that challenges you with new tasks every time you play. Alone or with your friends. Or even against your friends (That's a sneak-peak so keep reading!)
Maps
Our vision is for Solve or Die to include multiple maps. Each map is unique and refers to a different story, and has different functionality and in-game puzzles/tasks. And most importantly - each map has different content and puzzles/tasks every time you play it.
Therefore, we are limiting the chance of you getting bored in our maps as much as we can. By making each game unique. And by making multiple maps. Multiplying those two factors creates infinite possibilities.
Abandoned School
Our first map has been just finalized and is currently being tested. While we are iterating on it and fixing bugs our testers are finding, we are working on two new maps.
Winter House
Have you seen The Shining? If yes, then the best reference for this might might be that movie. Imagine you are stuck in a house covered in snow while being chased by evil twins.
The design of the house is finalized and we are moving towards creating the gameplay - puzzles, traps and other exciting things.
Bunker
Will you be able to get out of the maze of an underground bunker with multiple floors, hidden doors, traps and puzzle - all while being chased by a cult member?
We are currently finalizing the design of the map. Afterwards, we will move to create the gameplay.
Functionality
Camera system for the Bunker
As we are trying to make each map different, we are adjusting a ton of functionality. Therefore, we came up with a camera system that let's you track the enemy inside the Bunker. Follow their steps, how they move and help yourself finalize the mission and get out of the bunker. But be careful - you don't know if the enemy does not have something more powerful than cameras.
Multiplayer - You and your friends against the enemy
If your gaming party is looking for a new and exciting game, this might as well be it. Jump on a call, join the same party and defeat the enemies. Co-operation is the key. And seeing someone struggle to finish a puzzle to move you further in the game is just magical.
Multiplayer - You against your friends
You've heard and played horror games where you cooperate. But was one of us the evil one? The one jump scaring? The one chasing the other one? That will be an option in Solve or Die!
Story
We are aware, that by having such big vision, so many maps and functionality is necessary to put it all together. This is where Tutorials, cinematics, cut-scenes and dialogues come together.
See how the story evolves, See why you are a detective with such purpose of fighting evil. See who's behind all the evil in the world. And eventually, solve all of it and get rid of the evil for good.
One game, unlimited possibilities.
