The below update is now live! I am currently taking a summer break which has meant I haven’t been able to work on Estranged a whole bunch over the past couple of weeks, but updates will resume their regularity soon.

Introduction Improvements

The introduction to the game has been tweaked to include the distress audio sequence from Act I, to provide more context to the player in the first few scenes. If players are new to the game, this scene is vital to build their understanding of the story, and provide enough of an introduction for them to want to play on, and find out more.

Level Checkpoints

When you load up this update, you will find that the levels (aside from the first) are all locked – to unlock subsequent levels you must play through the game. This change makes a lot more sense for newer players, as they are now presented with a logical ordering of levels to play through, and progression matters. Apologies to those that have completed the current set of levels before, you will have to play through again from the start – that’s a one-time thing. More work in this area will be done in the future, and this system will likely evolve into gameplay saves.

Danish Translations

Thank you to Ruby from the community who contributed Danish translations for this update, with some work from Niels. Including English, this brings the number of languages supported by Estranged up to 11! Thank you for everyone that has been involved in the project so far – as ever, in-game feedback, email, the forums and Steam reviews are all ways you can contribute to the project! Alan

The game continues after the events of Estranged: Act I, which followed our hero's adventure in a search for a way to get home.
