Hey, I wanted to send you a steam key for the Isolation Simulator (I moved it from itch.io, no traffic there) but I can't find your email adress. Thanks for your support

Isolation Simulator is OUT NOW in Early Access on Steam!

I'm thrilled to announce that my passion project, Isolation Simulator, is officially available on Steam in Early Access! 🎮 This game is a deeply personal exploration of isolation, inspired by the emotional and psychological challenges we faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Step into a world where your choices shape a unique journey every time you play.

What’s Isolation Simulator about?

In Isolation Simulator, you’ll experience a dynamic, reactive world that responds to your behavior in isolation. Every decision you make influences the story, leading to completely different events and outcomes across playthroughs. You can:

• 🏆 Complete the game and unlock numerous achievements.
• 🔍 Discover a secret ending that rewards the most curious players.
• 🌍 Feel the weight of isolation in a narrative inspired by real-world experiences.

Early Access: A Work in Progress

As this is an Early Access release, Isolation Simulator is not yet complete. You might encounter some bugs or rough edges, but I’m fully committed to polishing and expanding the game based on your feedback. Your support through purchases will directly fund future updates, new features, and a more refined experience.

Why Play Now?

Even in Early Access, Isolation Simulator offers a full playthrough with meaningful choices, gripping storytelling, and a chance to explore how your actions shape the world. Whether you approach isolation with resilience or struggle under its weight, every playthrough feels fresh and personal.

Join me on this journey! Grab Isolation Simulator on Steam now and help shape its future!

Thank you for your support, and I can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 💬

I've just published a new update of the game. Here is a devlog about it! Enjoy!

I have updated the video trailer :-)

Thanks for kind words and awesome ideas!

Thanks!

I made all those outdoor events easy to reach, because otherwise nobody would see them in the early stage of the game. I would love to go back to 'trapped in a room' idea, but in the end I feel like there should be more to explore.

My idea for the next step is to monitor player's behaviour in the isolation room and push the events on certain occasions, where leaving the room is more like an end stage event for one run or less probable thing to happen.

I also wanted to have softer events to make contrast to the scarier stuff.

I really appreciate your feedback and I'm working on this project (after a long break) again, this time with more of a plan in my mind what I want it to be rather than messing around in Unity engine.

Cheers!

I'm back on this project. Life can be crazy, but I do not forget about it.

Thanks! I'm working on it :-)

I guess you are right, I didn't think anybody would play it in the first place. I uploaded simple prototype with a simple loop of events just happening. It was a shock to me that you guys play it on youtube, but hey, the good thing is that I've convinced my wife to spare some more time on this project!

Overall, it's well deserved 1/5 (there wasn't even a decent controller of the camera).

Thanks for your time, the video was actually entertaining and hey, I'm going back to work to make the game better!

Thanks! Sorry for the low quality, I'm doing my best to make it better everyday now (expect for when my wife tells me not to). I hope you and other youtubers will play it again when it's finished!

And the blue screen is already deleted.

Thanks for your time! And for the feedback!

Thanks! I'm doing my best, it started as a free time project, but with so many of you... well, it's still my free time project, but oh boy, the pressure! 

Devs (in fact a dev) will try to do his best :-)

Sure thing! Thanks for your tips, I mashed a few events in a loop for a showcase, I didn't think it would be something interesting for ppl out there. I'm going to build it again from scratch in my free time for better quality and add some sort of timeline and ending. I don't want it to be simple horror on train tracks, but as you stated the tension should build up slowly. I guess I need to create an algorithm which will build up the tension choosing preprepared events but in its own way in real-time to avoid this static train tracks effect.

Thanks for your time! It's awesome so many people enjoy it, and some of you even paid me a few bucks, which is really great in this time of covid19.

I also could probably post here a quick updates with minor tweeks, but as stated I'm going to take my time and develop better quality and as one can expect, first generations of mentioned algorithm won't be impressive. 

Great video, thanks!

Thanks! You guys are awesome, I really didn't think that its worth someone's time

If you are interested, I've uploaded and published my little prototype of Isolation Simulator. Basically... It would be nice if you play it and maybe give me some feedback or even a positive rating if you like it.

Here's a bunch of screenshots for you!

Awesome video! Thanks for your time

Thanks! I hope I will have time to work more on this project and prepare something more than a bare prototype.
