What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Terminal Error is a highly experimental game. As such, we want as much feedback and help as possible to mold the game into a truly memorable experience.

Moreover, the game has a long development timeline as we are only a team of two, thus pushing us to release in Chapters and make adjustments along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will likely be in Early Access until Mid to End 2026. Originally, we had intended to finish by Early 2026, however, the game and the world we imagined has grown bigger since we first started.

We still intend to release the game periodically, with Chapter 0 (Tutorial) and Chapter 1 (The Tunnel) being released but still undergoing changes.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Most of the content will be added during the Early Access, collecting feedback and processing it to make the best possible game we can with the community.

The full game will be the culmination of all that, encompassing all the new maps, designs, monsters and chapters we have built along the way.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access currently comprises Chapter 0 (Tutorial) and Chapter 1 (The Tunnel), introducing the Player to the eerie world of Site 41 and fleshing out the story and lore of this grotesque world.

Players can expect a mixture of classic point-and-click problem solving, puzzle-like challenges and a strange touch of FPS-inspired combat. There are also other tactile features such as the Torch, Medkit and Rifle feature that involve manual interactions. All this comes together to present a compelling introduction to the world with a substantial amount of content to back!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase throughout the Early Access up until the Final Release. Price changes will only occur during significant updates, and we will warn the community beforehand if we are increasing prices in any way.

The next major price increases you can keep an eye out for are:
(1) Completion of Chapter 1 + Boss Fight
(2) Completion of Chapter 2
(3) Completion of Chapter 3
(4) Completion of Chapter 4 + Boss Fight
(5) Completion of Chapter 5 + Boss Fight”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement is crucial for us, with Steam Discussions and Discord being our means of collecting feedback and suggestions. We will collect Player comments for every new version of the game, working to implement the valuable insights given by the community to enhance the game's mechanics and experience.”

About This Game

"A good soldier always follows orders..."

Thrust into the macabre depths of Site 41, you play as a disoriented soldier caught in an emergency of seismic proportions. Navigate disturbing environments, unravel cryptic puzzles and uncover grotesque truths in this chilling, thrilling reinvention of the point-and-click horror genre.

TERMINAL ERROR unfolds within the bleak and oppressive tunnels of Site 41, a secretive underground facility harbouring classified, experimental technologies. Constructed by the Island Armed Forces (IAF), a paranoid military obsessed with maintaining their iron grip on military supremacy, the compound was meant to be a fortress of cutting edge power. But this perfect machine conceals some dark secrets…

The story begins when a disoriented soldier awakens alone in a suspiciously desolate guardhouse. Contacting a mysterious ally through the crackling radio, the newfound allies investigate the cause of the facility-wide shutdown in hopes of containing the source of the disaster. Yet, what they uncover is far more horrifying and deadly. Descend into a nightmarish rabbit hole of hidden horrors and dangerous secrets lurking beneath the surface...

Interact and Experience: Unravel unsettling mysterious through our revamped point-and-click mechanics, now with a heightened sense of space.

Mess around with strange devices...

Pick up items...

Fix up broken parts...

Solve challenging puzzles...

And maybe make a friend along the way...

Explore and Discover: Suspiciously abandoned and packed with secrets, learn about the lore of this strange world as you roam the eerie corridors of Site 41.

Wander through oppressively imposing tunnels...

Creep past bleak offices...

And encounter the infection...

Play with Tools: Armed with your Cybernetic Compatibility System (CCS), access a variety of tools to aid you in your journey. Use your trusty torchlight to reveal what's hidden in the dark

With dangers around every corner, heal up with our fresh take on the traditional healing experience

Stun and run from enemies as you explore... The bullets might not kill monsters, but at least it slow them down. If you're lucky, maybe you could slip away in time...

Escape Monsters: Encounter grotesque monsters and explore haunting spaces plastered with flesh, blood and all forms of warped monstrosities as you learn more about the cryptic truth of the facility.

Don't get too close to the monsters though... They can easily grab you, entering into an interesting 'Struggling Minigame' sequence to escape the grasps of these creatures

Stop the Infection: Uncover a story of obedience, control and the price of breaking free
