Three years ago, we planned on being in Early Access for roughly 6 months. A lot has happened since then, we decided we wanted to take the game in a new direction and not become just another rogue-like. We were able to release on additional platforms and we've pretty much remade every single part of the game. The game is bigger and better than we planned. This is not the same game that entered Early Access what feels like forever ago. Even though the game is released, we're going to keep updating the game. Fixing bugs and most likely look into some parts we feel didn't turn out perfectly. Back in 2015, we decided to enter Early Access to get community feedback and ideas, this would not have been possible without you guys. Thank you so much for being with us every step of the way! Now I'm done being emotional, on to the actual changes!

The Story Goes On (Early Access) is an action-packed adventure game set in an endless maze known as the Odyssey.

Developed by Scarecrow Arts, The Story Goes On is the team’s debut game. With a huge emphasis on community feedback via the Early Access program, the game is shaping into a unique rogue-like experience.

The current Early Access version features:

Progress at your own pace

The Story Goes On never binds player to a specific pace. Almost every event, puzzle, and fight can be completed as fast or slow as you’d like.

Varied items

Every item is designed to add to your experience, and may shift the way you play. From combat enhancements to new ways of traversing puzzles, items in The Story goes On are laid out to work with each other and grant the player cool item combinations every time they play.

Adaptive Soundtrack

A beautiful soundtrack that reacts in real-time to the environment; escalating from calm to intense depending on the room the player enters in their unique play-through.

Randomly Generated Worlds

A majority of the game’s combat and worlds are randomly generated per play-through. While the overarching story remains constant, the player will discover it in their own way.

Story-Based Pre-Built Dungeons

Inside every randomly generated world is a matching pre-made dungeon that introduces new mechanics, enemies and story elements into the main game. From transforming into a ghost to navigate a haunted mansion, to riding a bling’d out minecart to freedom, you find these locations hidden in the worlds, concealed by puzzles.
