Fix an issue where other games' images weren't fetched correctly in the Steam backend because Valve decided to change the images' addresses overnight.

We’ve heard all of your feedback, and we’ve taken it seriously.

Many of you were disappointed that VR Giants didn’t offer an online multiplayer mode that worked without relying on external screen-sharing services like Steam Remote Play Together or Parsec. You were absolutely right—and it inspired us to start working on a true online multiplayer feature, even when we weren’t sure if we’d be able to make it happen.

Today, we’re excited to tell you that it’s coming… and sooner than you might think!

At the beginning of August, we’ll be releasing online multiplayer in Beta. It won’t be perfect right out of the gate, but it should be playable and fun. Please keep sending us your bug reports and feedback so we can iterate quickly and make it better every step of the way.

Thank you for your patience and support—together, we’re making VR Giants even better!

The demo version of NEKRO3 is now live — an atmospheric 2D horror where you play as a dying protagonist. Unarmed, but not hopeless.

The demo includes 5 levels, deadly traps, zombies, and your first encounter with something that hunts even your glowing corpse.

Important: the demo already features key mechanics:
— luring zombies into traps,
— glowing player corpses,
— glitch effects,
— and its own unique ending.

Whether you reach the door… or die on level 5 —
something will happen.

If you enjoy dark stories, psychological symbolism, and pixel art atmosphere — give it a try. And let me know what you think.

I read every comment and piece of feedback.
Help me make this game stronger — the journey is just beginning.

Everything is a remix…

The title of a popular documentary by Kirby Ferguson about music—but really, it applies to everything. Movies, books, games… nothing comes out of thin air. Everything we create is shaped by the stuff we’ve seen, played, read, or heard—whether we realize it or not.

Our game is no exception.

So today, we wanted to take a moment to talk about the media that influenced us—movies, games, and weird little corners of the internet that helped shape Deluded into what it is. Some of these influences might be obvious. Others? Not so much. Let’s dive in.


As you may have already heard, Deluded has been highly influenced by Skyrim mods. Back in the day, one of our lead devs was fiddling a lot with these mods, but he was always struggling to make them compatible and immersive. So creating a game that would fix those issues while taking all the best bits from the mod scene was only natural.


Here are some of those Skyrim mods:

S∗∗Lab Ar∗∗sed inspired our Ar∗∗sal mechanics. with its similar features like: passive ar∗∗sal buildup, nud∗ty checks, resetting the effect upon s∗∗/mas∗∗∗bation, etc.

Blush When Ar∗∗sed and Dripping When Ar∗∗sed

S∗∗Lab Guards—adding s∗∗ual interactions with law enforcers

S∗∗Lab Fill Her Up—support for bellies inflated with fluids

Apropos for attributes system covering: fluids on the body, dirt level, holes wear and tear level.

Various mods for survival, including Frostfall and Needs and Diseases.

Being Female—menstruation and pregnancy mechanics with their buffs and debuffs

Devious Devices—multiple BD∗M devices and gear and their functions like movement/inventory blocking.


What about games?

Most of the corruption mechanics were inspired by a Good Girl Gone Bad visual novel.


Don’t have anything specific to say in regards to Violated Heroine—it’s just a cool Japanese female protagonist game with super detailed systems.


But the game that probably influenced Deluded the most was Girl Life (originally Провинциалка), a pretty old yet classic QSP title. Check out this one and you’ll spot the resemblance right away: game style, life-sim elements, jobs, random events, corruption… Approximately 60% of what we have in Deluded comes from Girl Life.



The main storyline isn’t directly based on anything, but we kinda adopted the vibe of a creepy-isolated-village from the anime Shiki.



Our character design leans heavily on Overwatch and Life is Strange. The UI/UX mixes Life is Strange’s feel and grungy mood of This War of Mine.


For environments, we aimed for a spooky pine forest, and Alan Wake was textbook inspiration.



Here I wanted to list a couple of pieces that did not necessarily influence our vision for Deluded—we just noticed the parallels later and thought they were neat.

Twin Peaks, much like Shiki—same rural creepiness, tense atmosphere and residents, who might not be what they seem—fits the Deluded narrative perfectly.

We also really enjoyed the social survival mechanics in Pathologic 2. The way your every action may influence the story, how citizens perceive you and which get to stay alive or not is insane.


That’s it for today’s rather short post! Have you played/watched any of these? Which one is your fave? Does Deluded itself remind you of anything? Let us know in the comments! 🐳


Best regards,
kufe7

We're planning to make the 1.0 release update available in a public beta branch on July 7 for interested players, and use the final two weeks to catch and fix as many bugs as possible. Players who own the game will be able to opt in. More details will be shared when that happens!

Early Access launched on 21 Feb 2023, and it's been over 2 years since then. We've added so much to the game, much more than I first planned! Partly due to the expanded scope, development for Early Access took longer as well.

That said, with the story epilogue, marriage, and some end-game content as part of the 1.0 launch update, I believe Research Story is in a good place for full release and has plenty of content and fun for players to discover.



I want to thank everyone for being part of our journey throughout Early Access! Research Story will not be what it is today without the community's love and amazing support.

Many of you have patiently shared your feedback, suggestions, and bug reports on the Steam forums, and more have shared them through the Google Forms linked in-game. Some of you made detailed guides and videos, and others kindly answered community questions. Reading your lovely and sometimes funny comments always put a smile to my face! 😊💚 Finally, seeing your awesome reviews for the game gives me so much encouragement that the game's on the right track.

I'm really happy that you enjoy Research Story, and I hope that you'll continue to enjoy the 1.0 update very soon! 💕

Right now, I'm focused on the preparations for 1.0, and admittedly have not planned (much) for what comes after that! What I can promise is that I'll continue supporting the game the best I can. You know me, I try to respond to all of your comments, feedback and bug reports as much as possible.

After the dust settles, I'll look into more community feedback and see how it goes from there. I'll likely start by working on upgrading my game build to fit the latest version of Gamemaker Studio (the game engine that I use) so that I can tap into more features (specifically, borderless fullscreen and audio input changes on runtime should be available after upgrading). I'll also look into whether I'm able to support Mac/Linux, as I know we have some players on those platforms. These may take weeks or more - it's hard to say. I'll do my best!

Talk soon! In the meantime, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them~
Miki 🤍
