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?

“Not This Again is built around surprising players with changing rules in a familiar room. Early Access will help us understand which puzzles are satisfying to discover, which hints need improvement, and where a playful trick becomes frustrating. We want to use player feedback to refine the existing levels and guide the development of new ones.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access for approximately 1–3 months. This estimate may change depending on player feedback and the time needed to refine the levels, improve game balance, and fix bugs.”

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

“We plan to expand the game with more levels, additional puzzle mechanics, and new surprises. We also aim to improve visual polish, animations, sound, and the clarity of hints. The scope and details of these additions may change based on development progress and player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current development version contains several levels set in a recurring room, with different rules for reaching the exit. It includes platforming hazards, puzzle hints, quick restarts, level selection, saved progress, personal best times, and gameplay statistics.”

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

“We plan to gradually increase the price during Early Access as we release substantial updates with new levels and features. We currently expect the full release to cost more than the initial Early Access version. These pricing plans are tentative and may change as development progresses. Any price increases will be announced in advance.
”

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

“We plan to use the Steam Community discussions to collect bug reports, puzzle feedback, and suggestions. We are especially interested in hearing where players get stuck, whether hints feel helpful, and which surprises they enjoy most.

We plan to share development updates through Steam announcements and use community feedback to help prioritize fixes and improvements.”

About This Game

Same room. Familiar door. Different rules. Again.

Not This Again is a pixel-art puzzle platformer packed with tricks and mischievous surprises. Jump over spikes, reach the button, and find the exit. Sounds simple? The room repeats, but the way out keeps changing.

What worked last time might get in your way this time. Read the hints on the walls, test your ideas, and don't get too comfortable.

SAME ROOM, NEW PUZZLE

Each level changes the rules of escape. Sometimes you need quick reflexes. Sometimes you need patience. Sometimes you need to question the most obvious solution.

ONE MORE TRY

The spikes won't forgive your mistakes, but a quick restart puts you right back in the action. After a few failed attempts, even your character starts losing their cool.

PIXELS, TRAPS, AND CHIPTUNES

A detailed pixel-art room, an expressive little hero, and an energetic chiptune soundtrack with keygen-inspired sounds keep you company through every attempt.

What awaits you:
• An ever-familiar room with changing puzzle rules.
• Cryptic wall hints and mischievous surprises.
• Platforming over spikes with quick retries.
• Personal best times and stats that keep track of your failures.
• Support for eight languages, including English.

You'll get out this time. Probably.
