NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii has officially passed 20,000 wishlists on Steam!

From the edge of Toskas radiation zones to the frozen moment at the core, your support has carried us through unstable timelines, dead satellites, and questionable Soviet engineering.

Were incredibly grateful for each wishlist, every signal boost, and all your feedback. This project means the world to us and knowing youre with us on this journey keeps the mission alive.

NODE: The Last Favor of the Antarii is launching in Q3 2025.

Until then, stay curious. Stay careful. And keep your eyes on the red doors.

After watching hundreds of you step into the ruins, solve puzzles, break our demo (thanks), and piece together NODEs systems, we went back into the facility one last time.

Were thrilled to announce that NODE is now complete!

Over the past few weeks, weve been making final adjustments and adding the last touches to elevate the experience and now, the game is fully finished and ready for launch.

Heres whats new:

Redesigned Introduction

Weve reimagined the opening of the game with brand-new custom art to better set the tone for your journey ahead.

NODEs arrival in Toska now feels more grounded, with a stronger sense of place and purpose right from the start.

Dialog Audio Feedback

Conversations now include subtle voice cues from characters not just for flavor, but to hint at the mood behind their words.

These ambient vocal touches bring an added layer of tension and personality to each exchange. Listen closely.

Full Original Soundtrack

Weve prepared a complete Dark Ambient Sci-Fi soundtrack, featuring over 50 tracks and more than 60 minutes of immersive audio.

The full OST will be available as part of a bundle at release, for those who want to spend more time in NODEs atmosphere even outside the game.

Thanks for the Feedback

NODE is targeting a Q3 2025 release, and your support during this final stretch makes a huge difference. If you havent already, a wishlist goes a long way. Thank you again for playing the demo, sharing your feedback, and joining us on this journey. Well see you back in the facility!

Its been a few months since NODEs first demo release. Since then, weve been quietly working, tweaking, testing, and tuning. Now that NODE is entering its polishing phase, its time to update the demo to better reflect where the game currently stands. The demo is temporarily unavailable on Steam while we roll out this updated version. We know some of you were hoping to try it or revisit it sooner, and we appreciate your patience. Itll be back, better than ever.

Save Progress That Carries Over

The biggest change? You can now carry your save file from the demo into the full game. Whether you like playing in long sessions or short bursts, NODE will meet you where you are. Start now, pick up later, your progress stays with you.

Visual Upgrades You Can Feel

Every level in NODE was crafted with the story in mind. This update brings the earlier sections up to the visual fidelity of the rest. Atmosphere, lighting, and detail now better match the games tone. And yes, weve been squashing FPS drops along the way.

Gameplay That Feels Just Right

Things play smoother now. Weve added quality-of-life updates:

• Adjust game speed to skip downtime
• Pause the timeline to read moments with precision
• See exact second values instead of vague bars

More control = more satisfying problem-solving.

Smarter Onboarding

New to NODE? The updated intro includes helpful guidance for first-time players. Its subtle, but effective. No hand-holding. Just what you need, when you need it.

Polished UI, No Matter How You Play

Weve overhauled the interface for clarity and comfort, whether youre on a keyboard or gamepad. Smoother button feedback. Cleaner sound design. Small details, big difference. NODEs world has always been about precision and curiosity, and weve tried to carry that mindset into every update. Thanks to everyone who played the first version of the demo. Your feedback shaped this. Were making more improvements behind the scenes, stay tuned for the updated demo, coming soon.

Thanks to all the players for your feedback and bug reporting. We hope these changes make your journey "easier" :) New Features added: - Now the Timeline has a Marker that remains at the point of the sequence when you die or you press Reset. This will give you a permanent place of reference to adjust your sequence until you execute it again. - While the Timeline executes you can hold "F" or the Left button on your Controller to accelerate time and skip forward the parts of the solution you don't need to adjust. Bug fixed: - The map no longer drifts when additional controllers and joysticks are connected. - The Idle pose of the character returns to its normal state after resetting while colliding with something. - Fixed some rare cases where the execution of the same commands yields a different result. - The Commands duration can no longer be altered using the keyboard while the Timeline executes. - Fixed an issue that was contributing to frame drops while loading levels.
