Playtest 04 is officially live! We’ve just sent out a fresh wave of Closed Alpha invitations, and we’ll be sending out more through the end of this week.

This is by far our largest update of the Closed Alpha, so there’s a whole lot more depth, detail and new features to explore since Playtest 03 back in early July. If you already have access but haven’t played since then, it’s a great time to boot up and see what’s new. A full changelog will be available in our Discord by the end of the day.

For the new invitees, you should receive an email as well as a Steam notification if you’ve been selected for access. We’ve sent out several thousand more invitations via random selection to those on the waiting list, and we'll invite more tomorrow and Friday too.

If you’ve got questions like:

• Can I stream and/or make content from the Closed Alpha?

• I have a ton of hours in DRG, why didn’t I get picked?

• Why don’t you just let everybody in?

We’ll refer you to the FAQ article below. We've just updated it with more answers to your most frequently-asked questions.

In case you missed it, we’re doing a developer livestream next week where we’ll be making some big announcements about Rogue Core (as well as Deep Rock Galactic).

Tune in to ‘On the Horizon’ on November 13th at 17:00 CET to catch it live! You can watch the stream on Twitch and Youtube, and a recording will also be available afterward. Hope to see you there.

Hello everyone!

It's been a hot minute since we last posted here, but we wanted to share an amazing milestone for INMOST with you all since you're the folks that made it all happen!

We wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has bought INMOST, left a review, and shared the news with their friends. INMOST would not have been as big of a success if it weren't for the amazing fanbase. But did you know, it wasn't always smooth sailing for the 2-man Hidden Layer Games team...

“Before we made INMOST, Alexey and I were struggling to make ends meet as contract game developers. Not only were we facing losing our business, but also our homes as we were on work visas.” says Andriy Vinchokovskiy, INMOST's Technical Director.

“I had sunk into a deep depression after burning out creating match 3 titles. We’d already said goodbye to our friends and packed our bags, but with nothing to lose, we started working on our dream game - a dark pixel art title.” says Art Director, Alexey Testov “We were so laser focused on creating something playable that I had even forgotten my own birthday. It was worth it though, the demo went on to win us $30,000 at the DevGamm Awards. Enough to save our business, and ourselves from deportation.”

“It’s crazy to think that since then 1.2 million people have played INMOST, and we’re really excited to be out on mobile, so we can speak with more players about the themes that matter to us. More than a few have told us the finale brought them to tears, and we simply hope new players find it just as meaningful and moving”

If you're interested in revisiting this harrowing tale of love and loss on mobile, we just launched on {LINK REMOVED}\[iOS] and{LINK REMOVED} \[Android].

• Optimised beautifully for touch screens

• Includes a 'try before you buy' demo of the first chapter

• Complete with all the same content as PC and console (including achievements!)

• Available in 14 languages 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 🇧🇷 🇷🇺 🇳🇱 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇮🇹 🇯🇵 🇨🇳 🇹🇷 🇰🇷

If you're trying to convince your friends to check it out, the beginning of the game is completely free, and the full game can be unlocked via an in-app purchase for £3.99 / $3.99 / €3.99 on the {LINK REMOVED}\[App Store] and{LINK REMOVED} \[Google Play Store].

That's all for now folks! Until next time, have a wonderful week and catch you in the next one.

Attention, Airmen!

Veterans’ Day brings new challenges, exclusive rewards, and the kind of firepower that makes the ground shake.

Meet the GBU-28 Missle. A bunker-buster that dives deep and erupts in a storm of pressurized geysers. Nothing left standing. Nothing left breathing.

New Objectives have arrived! Complete them to earn extra rewards and strengthen your fight against the apocalypse. Don’t let the undead take over!

Today, we honor all Veterans: for their courage, sacrifice, and the hope they’ve given us in the darkest times.

Attention, Airmen!

The GBU-28 Missile is built to break what others can’t. A true bunker-buster, it cracks the earth wide open and triggers a chain of pressurized geysers that sweep the impact zone!

On detonation, enemies are locked in place for 1.3 seconds under a new visual effect. Every split-second after, geysers erupt in random points across a five-by-five area, up to seven in total, each delivering 82 percent damage within a 2.5 radius.

The missile never runs dry. Fire it whenever the situation turns against you. Its rhythm of timed eruptions keeps pressure on the ground and control in your hands.

Refine the GBU-28 to reach its full potential with faster reloads, increased base damage, full-power geysers, a shorter flight time by 0.4 seconds, and up to three additional geysers added to the sequence.

Precision, power, and sustained impact: this is what dominance looks like from above.

Starting today, you can buy it on Steam!

It’s not just music — it’s a way to support us, the developers, so we can keep improving the game. 🧑‍🏭 👷‍♂️

And for those who prefer to listen for free — a few of the catchiest tracks will soon appear on our YouTube channel. 📺 ✨

Thank you for being with us — without you, this circus wouldn’t be running! 🎪 ❤️

🕯️ The Riese Project – Prologue

Not every change needs to be loud to be heard.
This update brings a few quiet improvements that make Riese run smoother — and feel better.

I fixed issues related to sound and collisions.
I adjusted several elements that didn’t behave as they should.
The result: a more stable and consistent experience — in VR and on screen alike.

I didn’t add new words.
I refined the ones already there.

🔧 What’s new:
– fixed sound-related bugs
– collision corrections
– general stability improvements

---

Even the smallest echo matters.

New song added, minor bug fixes, Mac bug fixed, and more.

We have updated the demo version today:

• Fixed a bug where imported songs could not be deleted.

• Fixed a bug where the demo would not launch on Mac.

• Other minor bug and visual effect fixes.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, especially with the bug that prevented the demo from launching on Mac.

As an apology, we have reset the demo playtime (users who have already used up their time can play for another 5 hours) and added one new song.

Please enjoy the update!

We were able to implement these fixes quickly thanks to the community. We appreciate your support and feedback!

 

The temperature is dropping – perhaps it’s a good time to evolve some fur and brace for winter. Or maybe hibernating in a cave can be nice too, but there’s no time to rest yet. After Tokyo Game Show I’ve gone through some of the feedback and pushed an update to the demo:

As a bit of a follow-up I’ve also just implemented a hotfix to address some of the reported issues on the patch. If you have any feedback on the game, feel free to let us know by commenting on Steam's discussion forum or joining our Discord server.

It’s been a while since we last showcased the quirky monsters conjured by our players’ wild imagination. Let’s have a look at what they’ve been up to on Discord!

First up we have Carnicorn, made by ReddyRed. Quoting from the creator, it "looks really silly from the front".

Next we have an attempt to recreate a fire ant from Ellen Joe's Husband (surprised he didn't make a shark). Just need to add some venom and it would be perfect. On the side note, my publishing team was delighted to see some ant representation in the game!

That's all for October, as I'm still working on the next batch of new content. Time to get back to the grind. Follow Adapt's socials for more news and memes!
