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?

“Currently, 90% of the game's content is complete, with the exception of the main story mode. Originally, my plan was to finish the main story and proceed directly to a full release. However, due to my mandatory military service, I will be unable to work on development for an extended period of time.

Because of this, I have decided to release the game in Early Access, whereas it was previously only distributed through YouTube and Discord. I want to assure you that this project will absolutely be completed. Along the way, I plan to actively incorporate your feedback to shape it into an amazing game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan to officially end Early Access once the main story mode is complete, which will be after I finish my military service. I expect this to take about 2 and a half years.”

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

“1. The Main Story mode will be unlocked, allowing you to experience the stories of the six survivors and Belle, complete with multiple endings.

2. I will actively incorporate feedback from Early Access to improve various aspects, including quality-of-life features and the game's overall direction.

3. If the Tumblbug crowdfunding campaign is successful, I am also considering adding an official OST and voice acting.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Although the Main Story mode is not currently available, the other provided content—ENDLESS Mode and BOSSRUSH Mode is fully complete. Furthermore, there is plenty of fragmented narrative content (side stories) outside of the main story.”

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

“It will not change.”

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

“I plan to communicate with you all through our official Discord server. Beyond that, whenever you discuss CRIMSON PANDEMIC on other platforms, I'll be reading every single piece of feedback carefully.”

About This Game

THE ARK HAS FALLEN

In an instant, the Ark is engulfed by the Rubrum, a crimson light that twists all living things into creatures consumed by resentment.

There is no time to find out why. Everyone on board has already succumbed to the Rubrum, save for Belle, a girl who is immune to its effects.

Grab whatever you can and get out. The Victims won't wait for you to get stronger.

Scavenge the ruins for supplies, collect Weapons, Symbols, and Modules, and equip them wisely to survive whatever awaits you.

You have 50 days until the rescue ship arrives. Survive from the Victims and make it out alive.

TO SURVIVE, AND TO DREAM AGAIN

Over 100 types of Victims roam the depths of Sector 4.

Their twisted forms and deadly attacks are born from the resentment they carried in life.

Surviving here is simple. Kill them, and absorb the resentment they leave behind.

You must forge your own resentment deeper and stronger than theirs.

This is the world where only the strongest resentment survives.

THOSE WHO REMAIN

Of course, not every Victim is hostile toward Belle.

A very small number of them have yet to lose their minds completely, remaining almost human despite becoming Victims themselves.

Stay by their side, and listen to the resentment they carry.

It may offer a small helping hand on the journey ahead.

The Ark is vast. There are still plenty of people out there, holding on by a thread.

Once you're strong enough, you might as well lend them a hand.

A DANGEROUS LIFE, A CHOICE TO MAKE

It all comes down to you, Belle.

You can gather the bare essentials, hole up in your shelter, and wait for a rescue ship to arrive.

Or, if you want to put your growing resentment to the test, you can take on the Ark's high-risk Victims head-on and make use of whatever rewards they leave behind while you wait for rescue.

Though I have a feeling the latter is more your style.

This game features mature themes including strong language, graphic violence, gore, torture, mutilation, murder, suicide, depictions of mental illness, substance abuse, and cannibalism.
