We haven’t been active on our Steam page… until now. From now on, we plan to share development updates for The War of the Worlds: Siberia once a week. Today, we’re answering some of the most frequently asked questions about the game.

— Why does the story take place before 1914, but the capital is called Petrograd instead of Saint Petersburg? — The game is set in an alternate universe, so names may differ from real-world events. Don’t expect strict historical accuracy in a game inspired by a science fiction novel.

— Will there be DLCs, paid or free? — We’ll share more information about this later.

— Will there be character customization? — Changing the character’s appearance isn’t planned, but their look may change as part of the story.

— Which platforms will be available?

— PC, and hopefully consoles. We’re designing the game with console controls in mind.

— Will the game feature interconnected locations of different sizes, or will you be unable to return once you leave an area? — You’ll only be able to return to a previously visited location by loading a save from that chapter.

— Will there be hunting for resources? — No, the main character is not a hunter.

— What about side quests? — There will be tasks that don’t advance the main story but provide challenges for players and help immerse them in the game world.

— What age rating are you aiming for? — Our preliminary estimate is 18+.

— Will there be a photo mode? — Yes, we plan to implement one.

— Will the game have replayability? — We’re designing most areas with replayability in mind. Different difficulty settings will also allow players to approach challenges in various ways.

— Will there be branching paths to a given location? — We’ll include such paths where it makes sense for the story and ensures an engaging adventure for the player.
