Roadmap

Every part of the game is in. What’s left is a handful of the PC’s finer behaviours and a few of its effects.

v0.2.2Updated 19 October 2026

Chapters

  1. 01

    Every part of the game

    The engine, every stage’s scripts, the menus and the endings, rebuilt in C from the Director’s Cut exe.

    DONE
  2. 02

    Start to finish

    The whole story on foot, all six endings, New Game+ and Born From a Wish.

    DONE
  3. 03

    The rest of the PC’s logic

    Enemy spawn conditions first, then the missing room code, Maria looking around and pointing, music that reacts to danger, and subtitles for the movies.

    NOW
  4. 04

    Small things

    A picture on the item screen for items that have no 3D model, and James’s stop animations.

    NEXT
  5. 05

    Effects the port doesn’t have yet

    Water, specular highlights, blur and bloom, rain and smoke, 3D trees, and event lights outside cutscenes.

    LATER
