Waking Up in the Lie

You wake up as R3D, an alien robot trapped in a strange simulation. You don’t know who controls you or why, but something doesn’t add up. Every move could bring you closer to the truth—or bury you deeper in the lie. How far are you willing to go to find the way out?

If you enjoy games that mix adventure, puzzles, and strategy, here you’ll find a unique experience. Dive into a layered story and uncover the hidden motives of each character. Follow the dialogues, discover secret notes, and use the right information to make the best decisions at key moments.

The Collapse

Did you manage to break the simulation? Now you’ll have to face the General to escape the laboratory. Get ready to solve new puzzles with fresh mechanics while enemies and turrets hunt you down without mercy.

Only those who relish strategic challenges and intense adventures will be able to overcome this final trial.

Features

  • Hand-crafted puzzles: clever and challenging.

  • Deep narrative: who can you really trust?

  • Hidden notes with revealing information.

  • Action sequences that shift the pace of the game.

  • Multiple endings based on your choices.

Trust or Distrust?

You wake up trapped. You don't know who controls the simulation or what their intentions are. Every decision opens a different branch; every hidden record can change the trust you place in the characters. Will you choose to trust or distrust?

Mystery notes

Hello to all mystery lovers :)

The secret notes you find in the game are key to understanding the hidden story behind the simulation Each one can change your perspective. Have you come across one that made you question everything?

Too many bugs!

Weve got a small collapse in the game, you can see it in the trailer. Do you know which of all the clips (there are quite a few) it shows up in?

Bugs and glitches in the simulation! Just like with the collapse, in other parts youll need to spot the mistakes the scientist made in order to escape? Or maybe we dont want to escape? Honestly, no idea.

As a dev Im not sure what to do anymoreshould I take care of the bugs or not?

Cheers!

Hey! The developer here

Hi! I am the developer of The Visitor Effect: Not an experiment, I am struggling creating daily content and engaging people, I know the game visuals are not the most attractive and that I should create a better trailer, but I am sure players will enjoy the demo and the complete game.

I was wondering what would you like to see here in the steam community, would you like to see more game content, some curiosities about the game, some gamedev related things? You choose!

I will be happy to see some interaction hehe, now I am going to translate this post to 3 different languages, bye.

A Lie

Players and friends, the best part of The Visitor Effect is that every decision matters because there are multiple possible endings

Do you like it when choices change the story, or do you prefer more linear paths?

Here, every step countsand that adds a lot of depth to the experience. Whats your dream ending?

A little bit about Narrative

Dear friends, the narrative of The Visitor Effect is a labyrinth of secrets and mysteries
