There’s still exciting news about Once Alive on the way, and even though the story won’t continue right now, I know I’ll return to it someday. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey. -Cem

I haven’t watched playthroughs or read comments in a long time, because with everything I’ve learned since then, I keep thinking “I could’ve done that better.”

I originally planned a sequel that would revisit the same timeline, but this time from Daniel’s perspective. After thinking it through, I realized I’d need a bigger development team to truly match my vision. So that idea is on the shelf for now.

It’s been a year since we visited HaustVille. It still amazes me how a story can bring so many wonderful people together. Thousands played, millions watched... I feel like if an apocalypse ever hits, we should all just move into the same city and survive together 😄++
