I have some major news regarding the latest update:

• Strange Aeons now has an optional Virtual Reality mode, with both Windows and Linux supported through OpenXR.
• The price is dropped from $11.99 to $8.99 (the specific amount will vary depending on regional pricing). The players who bought the game before this price decrease will receive copies of my two earlier games (Desert of Vice and Ladderhead). I also want to thank you so much for supporting the game early on!
• The mirrors in the library scene look much nicer, some rare visual glitches were fixed as well.

There's a new update for Strange Aeons, so here's brief overview of current state of the game:

• The game at this point is 100% completed and most of the changes now are technical improvements - version v0.5 has improvements for the Windows launcher.
• Strange Aeons now has a price and a release date - it will come out on January 13, 2023 for the price of $11.99 (this will be the third game I release on a Friday the 13th).

Let me briefly touch upon the things that I've been working on since the last update: [olist]

November Update This past month I mostly worked on polishing visuals and small improvement, the biggest of which was the redesigned look of keyboard input. Now the text you enter is displayed like this:

I will be streaming a recent version of the game on the occasion of Steam's Scream Fest.

It's been a while since I last shared an update of the game on Steam, so here I go, I'm spilling the beans: [olist]

The most significant feature included since the start of Summer is the ability to see the text that the parser has recognized.

There's an official Discord server to follow development now

The followers of your cult are summoning you. You must escape this netherworld and reign in your rightful domain in the land of the living. To do so you must converse with the strange entities that surround you. This is a neural-net-AI, speech-to-text and text-to-speech powered experience. All of this works offline, without a back-end server or internet connectivity. In this stream the developer will play an extended version of the demo, feel free to join in and ask any questions!
