Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“There are two main reasons we've decided to bring The Redwood Estate to Early Access. First, we don't want to rush the end of development. We'd rather take the time needed to properly finish the remaining chapters while sharing a substantial portion of the game with you. Second, community feedback has already been an essential part of this project. Since the release of our demo, your feedback has helped us make the overall experience more enjoyable. Early Access gives us the opportunity to continue that process with our commuity as we work toward the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect The Redwood Estate to remain in Early Access for approximately 12 months, although this may change as development progresses.”

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

“We plan to have major updates throughout Early Access and leading into the full release that will advance and ultimately conclude Tim’s story. We’ll also introduce a second playable character, with her own set of skills, mechanics, and challenges. We also want to bring a Survival Mode with local co-op to the full version, along with additional game modes that can be unlocked after completing the game. This includes Nightmare Mode, True Survivor Mode, and Expert Survivor Mode, each adding new challenges for players looking to push their limits. And, of course, many achievements for those who want to fully explore everything the Redwood Estate has to offer.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version provides the first two stages of Horror Scenarios: The Redwood Estate, offering 5+ hours of gameplay. It includes the beginning of Tim Rieff’s investigation, featuring a wide range of exploration, puzzles, resource management, and fully functional gameplay mechanics, including combat, weapons, enemies, and boss encounters.”

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

“We plan to start with a fair Early Access price that reflects the content available at launch. Once the game reaches its full 1.0 release, we will re-evaluate the price and may increase it to reflect the additional content and completed experience.”

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

“Community feedback has been an important part of the development of The Redwood Estate since the release of our demo. While we have a clear vision for the game and how we want players to experience it, we’ve also learned not to be too rigid and to embrace new ways for players to enjoy the game beyond our original vision. Feedback, both positive and negative, through our social channels, X/Twitter, and the Steam Community Hub is crucial to improving the game’s quality of life and overall player experience. We also plan to share regular development updates and a public roadmap, allowing players to follow our progress and see what we’re working on. We want the community to be part of the development process, not just the audience at the end of it.”

Demo Version 1.8 is now live

Demo Version 1.8

The modern controls are finally here, dear survivors!

This update introduces our first version of the Modern Look-at Control Scheme, along with several area improvements and bug fixes. This is a big step for us, and we're excited to finally put it in your hands.

New Features

Modern Controls

  • Added a new Modern Look-at Control Scheme, which can now be selected from the In-Game Menu or when starting a new game.

  • The Modern Control Scheme features a smooth cursor-based look system, allowing for more fluid aiming and movement throughout the Redwood Estate.

  • This is our first implementation of the modern controls, and we'd love to hear your feedback! Let us know how the controls feel and whether any settings could use some tweaking.

  • We're also investigating the possibility of adding strafing to the Modern Control Scheme in a future update, which could help compensate for the lack of a quick-turn mechanic.

Area Improvements

  • Added distinct door sprites for Gold Key doors to make them easier to identify.

  • Removed a light in the small garden area of the Dog Park to improve visibility and maneuverability.

  • Updated the locations of several clowns in the demo build.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed incorrect transparency on decals in the Coat Room.

  • Fixed an issue where the Load Menu could still be navigated after confirming that a save should be loaded.

We're having a lot of fun putting these new features together, and we hope they don't break the game too much. Hahaha!

And don't worry if they do... we'll fix them!

As always, thank you for playing, testing, and sharing your feedback with us. Your feedback is helping us shape the Redwood Estate as we move closer to Early Access!

About This Game

The year is 2000.

Officers Tim Rieff and Kim Hansbury are dispatched to the remote Redwood Estate after contact is lost with two fellow officers. What begins as a routine welfare check quickly turns into something far more disturbing.

Inside the estate, silence hides the truth.

To locate their missing colleagues and uncover what happened to the residents and staff, Tim must explore the manor and its surroundings, search for survivors, and face the growing threat hidden within its walls.

Explore, investigate, and survive in a tense, top-down horror experience inspired by classic survival horror games. With scarce resources, dangerous enemies, and puzzles standing between you and the truth, every decision can make the difference between life and death.

  • Collect your arsenal and prepare yourself for deadly encounters against horrific enemies and powerful bosses.

  • Explore the manor and its surroundings in search of your missing fellow officers. Uncover the mysterious events that led to the tragic fate of the residents and staff of the Redwood Estate in this atmospheric survival horror experience.

  • Search every corner for the tools you’ll need to survive against terrifying enemies while carefully managing your limited resources.

  • Piece together the mystery. Discover files and documents that reveal clues about the true purpose of the Redwood Estate, stories about its residents, and the events that took place there before everything went wrong.

An original soundtrack composed in-house supports the atmosphere with moments of dread, restraint, and brief relief between encounters.
