Dear Players,

When we first announced „What Awaits, Aleksey?”, we had huge ambitions - and even greater faith that we would soon be able to share something truly special with you. Reality, however - as is often the case in game development - proved more demanding than we initially expected.

Along the way, we faced numerous challenges: technical obstacles, shifts in creative direction, moments of doubt, and many serious decisions that had to be made in real time. It was a long journey filled with learning, revisions, and determination - not to release something “just good enough,” but something we could genuinely be proud of.

Today, we can finally say one thing: The demo is ready.

We invite you to step into the shoes of Aleksey - a detective working in the OKO cipher bureau, a place where every message can alter the course of events and every decision carries weight. The demo offers a first glimpse into the atmosphere of our story, the core gameplay mechanics, and the foundations of the world we are building in „What Awaits, Aleksey?”.

For us, this is only the beginning. We hope that in time, you will also experience the full version of the game.

For now - thank you. Thank you for your patience, your support, and every message that kept us motivated to continue. Without you, this project would not have meaning.

If you enjoy the demo, please consider sharing it with your friends, family, streamers, and content creators. Every recommendation, every stream, and every piece of feedback helps us grow and reach new players.

This is a truly important moment for us.

We hope that what awaits Aleksey… will intrigue you as well.

Or perhaps what awaited Aleksey all along were the friends we met along the way.

Thanks and have fun.

  • The „What Awaits, Aleksey?” Team
