CHORDOSIS
A downloadable game for Windows
While UAP/UFO sightings in Hungary have been scarce, with only a few reported cases, an overwhelming majority of approximately 90% of these sightings have been concentrated in a specific remote rural area.
As a Hungarian, I've always found it intriguing how little is known about this region of my country. With only a few small villages scattered throughout, it remains relatively unknown.
Their stories served as my primary inspiration during the development of this game.
Dive into Cosmic Horror:
CHORDOSIS invites you to experience a unique cosmic survival sci-fi horror game centered around alien abductions. Immerse yourself in the small village of Dunahont, Hungary, and uncover its chilling mysteries.
Find Your Missing Twin:
Take on the role of Sadie, determined to find her vanished twin sister. Ignored by the authorities, Sadie embarks on a dangerous journey to unravel the truth.
Puzzles and Survival:
Solve intricate physics-based puzzles and manage your inventory creatively. Face the unknown with unique weapons, fighting for survival against the alien threat.
Uncover the Enigma:
Step into a world where the skies are full of secrets and danger lurks everywhere. As Sadie, your mission is clear: find your sister and unearth the hidden truths in the cosmic horror of CHORDOSIS.

Many of you have asked about a Steam release.
I'm excited to confirm that a Steam and EPIC release is in the works, but it will be episodic.
The itch.io version will always remain as the Founders Edition, and it will be the only version that contains the exclusive founders episode.
This way, I can support itch.io because it has become the heart of indie horror.
Being a part of it is wonderful.
Every game here is special, and itch.io is a fantastic platform to show your love for them.
Thank you itch.io

hi Adam!
thanks for making this incredible game and giving me a unique experience in my favorite alien setting<3<3 i was impressed by the creepy atmosphere and the realism of the game.
please don't abandon this project because it has a huge potential to become legendary
Hello. As i played the game the first time, i think wow. Nothing in my mind has changed, but the game won't start anymore. I only get a black screen with a cursor. I wait and wait, but nothing happens. i reinstalled the game, i reinstalled the nvidia driver. Nothing. Older driver, newest driver ... nothing. Please, know anybody of you what i can do ? It can't be a bug, because i find nothing in google or here. Please, if anybody know what is to do, please anwer me. Thanks a lot
make sure your anti virus is not flagging it
Any info about progress in development from the game???! I don't think so... Because nobody cares. At least Adam Dubi don't care. Sorry man, but I think you just pissed everyone off and didn't keep what you promised. The basis of the game was great and truly unique, but I don't believe you will appear on this thread ever again.
Can anybody tell me something positive about the game development?
Yes. Dont trust developers without roadmap and keeping delivery of what was promised in that roadmap.
I hope you won't leave us out here waiting for your games while you doing something else, why dont you update us what is actually happening?
Logged in for the first time in a year to see if there was an update on episode 2 being released and I am seeing comments regarding no one hearing from Adam for around a year.
Very sad because the game has so much potential, even if he sold the game over to a small development team to take it over (if this was possible). Would be nice to feel it more in depth at the next stage of the game. Never mind.
Very good game. Loved playing it. Hopefully the second part is coming soon.
Hey Mr.Adam
I didn't mean to troll
but are you still alive ?
you stop posting for a year now
Dont get your hopes up. Game is dead. Dude is in the business of selling tank tops.
Any proof? I have no doubt that the game isn't dead, but if you have proof that the creator is doing a completely different job somewhere else, then at least I can stop hoping that the game isn't completely dead and finally bury it.
Could you please do some minor research before posting misinformation?
Yes, I've also googled Adam Dubi who has his own fashion brand. However, that person is from New York. The developer of Chordosis is from Hungary. Believe me or not, there could be more than one person with the same name in the world.
Terminando esse jogo maravilhoso!
Joguei e narrei os acontecimentos de chordosis! Mal posso esperar para a próxima parte, o jogo tem um nível de detalhes e densidade de cenário incrível!
scary af... wow. I can't play this to the end. got any cheat codes? I need invisibility. : )
Uma Joia Rara!
O jogo é simplesmente incrível, ótima construção de tensão, sonoplastia aterrorizante, incentivo a exploração na medida certa e um construção de cenário impecável!
any word on when ep2 is out?
Dont get your hopes up
Why ? is the game abandoned?
Very much alive and moving forward
Where are you getting this info? As far as I can tell, Adam Dubi hasn't posted anything online since the end of last year
Do we know is he even alive?
This game is a hidden gem. I can't wait for episode 2. I hope a popular streamer plays this so the developer can get more support.
Adam if you don't know how to properly code a control scheme please give up making video games, neither the gamepaddle nor the M&K work with this title. Was really looking forward to playing this. But your incompetent at best on how to code things correctly so they work at least somewhat! I could sit here and map the control scheme for you with my own software, but its not my game not my responsibility.
For others out there thinking about this game, hard pass it til the Developer knows what hes doing, this mistake is 3rd grade tech mistake at the outside. Don't waste your money, try the echo paradox or Cassiculus if you want a scary experience and they are both free.and can be found on steam!!
Had really wanted to play this, but kindergarten tech mistake as an indie developer, is not something i,m going to let slide. This feels to me like you got lazy with making sure the controls were working as intended and just threw layer on top of another to get you by, sad that you actually thought that would fly.
I had a f'ing blast playing this.. Haven't tried much like it. Crawl back inside your self. Please.
Bro what are you on about? imagine going to your job and your boss tear you down and tell you that you aren't worth anything and that you should just quit, wouldn't feel very good. Don't be rude to Adam just because you are incompetent and smooth-brained
dude i enjoyed this a lot dont be an ass to somone making a great game and doing there best, there is a free demo if you try that and dont like it then dont buy it, and the games only 6 dollers, get over your self
I agree with you. Also graphic settings are too complicated to setup and that 3d box inventory in the game is horrendous. Could be much more simpler as a separate screen and not a 3d object.
the box inventory is more unique and immersive than most games, i find it to be one of the most interesting parts of the gam
its a u problem not the dev... controls work fine
Step off your pedestal and explain into the crowd why you’re being condescending. 😒
This is Obviously a Troll post and should not be taken seriously.
shut tf up man how petty can u get. It works fine for everyone but u it seems so maybe just get good
still waiting for episode 2. idk why I wasted my money
nice game
Cl icky
I played through the Demo and now this version. I think there's a lot of potential for a good series. I'm looking forward to the think Episode. Great Job Guys ;)
First episode and the sneak peek play well, look incredible, sounds amazing and is overall just a fantastic experience, but what tf is going on with episode 2? A year ago it was 90% finished, with seemingly no change since then? I understand if the 90% turned out to be 75%, but the lack of communication since SEPTEMBER LAST YEAR is pretty lacklustre. Nonetheless, hope everything is going well for the developer, and I don't wish to throw any shade, cause I couldn't even make a single asset for a game; I only wish there was more communication.
EDIT: I saw the comment made by the developer further down. It's nice to see some form of update, especially considering there still seems to be a lot of passion for the game, along with unique approaches to sound design, to put it mildly.
I apologise if the previous statement does come off as frustrated, but I'd still recommend somewhat regular updates via the development log or something similar. Keeping your fans and supporters appraised of the situation is a sure-fire way to avoid having your comment section look like it does on this page. Once again, best of luck, godspeed and have fun with it.
Hi Guys! im a founder edition buyer. Any dates for the second episode??? Keep the good work!
Problem is a lack of communication with users (customers). Nobody would question anything if dev just tell us how far is it from release (month, 6 months, a year). Doesnt matter how long just that we have some basic deadline so that we dont ask questions all the time if the release is more than 6 months away but we will ask in 6 months whats happening and we should be getting some answers. Also it would be good to put game on Steam as a demo or early access but that thing didnt happen. Question is why? Also if the dev doesnt think this will be completed in some reasonable time it would be fair to just say it. No one will hold a grudge but majority of people doesnt have time to wait on this 5 years. I mean either you work on this full time or part time every day or you dont, because if the dev works on this 3 hours a week or even month then I cant see this completing soon. I bought it for 10 bucks and I had my share of fun but I dont expect anything more from this. If second episode comes I will play it but if not I wont be mad.
What a rambling useless giant paragraph that you wrote...
Yes
I don't understand why people hate criticism so much. If it weren't for criticism, in this world everyone would do whatever they want, however they want, and nothing would give a head or a tail. Plus, jasmin071's post isn't so much critical as it is an honest reminder to the developers. And he's right... Sure, give my comment the dislike too, because that's the only thing you know how to do. You get a little bit of a grievance and you kick around. Lots of people here have begged the developer to give some feedback, some hope... but think about it... if Adam doesn't make his project known, the project will fade into the oblivion. I honestly don't want him to post a release date for the second episode here, even an approximate one... it would be fine with me if he posted a few times a month that he's okay and working on the project. There's nothing wrong with that...
Constructive criticism is one thing. Patronization and complaining are another and both unnecessary to the process of creativity and time.
It takes professional devs working under the highest companies with the latest techonologies years to complete a full game. This is a single dev, and at the time of my writing, it’s been less than a year since they single-handedly released Episode 1. All any of us have is time to wait for something we want to be released.
I understand receiving a release date would relieve people. But being given a time frame won’t finish the next piece any faster, and isn’t even a guarantee. Even top developers from top studios will attempt to assuage the crowd’s impatience only to push release dates again and again, with people feeling pissed off anyway. Besides, record shows that the smaller the studio, the more likely a release will be closest to when content is more or less “finished” rather than way in advance.
Just chill. It’ll come out when it comes out and be as great as the first. If people don’t wanna wait, then forget it. If you don’t want to forget, then wait.
whats happening with this? Thought a second episode was coming
Meanwhile I doubt that there will be a full version. Purchased very long time ago, no news since then. Too sad...because the paid demo was nice.
I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Looking forward to the next Episode. Keep us posted
A year has already passed and there is no news on the game, how should purchase support work? or that the developer got lost with the money from his demo?
As I said before: Don't worry, it will be out in 2026, December probably. No rush, everything is under control :)
hahaah
Maybe you should take a better approach with your questions next time. After playing and experiencing this game he created, I am fully confident that he will /is producing more episodes.
Don't assume negative reasoning, it makes you look like a pompous idiot.
ps - keep up the great work Adam. You are an incredible artist.
Maybe you need to read the other reports/replies here before assuming..... @bigbigcarl.
End of the day OP is correct, it's been a year and a lot of promises were made.... With no responde from Adam himself of emails from myself and many others in this comment section and the fact that he hasnt posted for MONTHS when the game will acc be released given people have PAID FOR this in full!
Yes, you are the only one who understood what the problem was and did not write, childish nonsense
I feel this. I paid about $25 total, which was at the time, to get my name included in the credits.... Never heard back from him funny enough, and multiple people had the same. Over a year since this was "nearly there." With no word back. Honestly think it's a con at this point and I've wasted $25.
Read the comments two months ago and it's clear he's still working on the game. If it was a con, he could just have pretended to not see all these comments, but instead Adam Dubi replied with a very long and detailed response about his current progress in the game that is obviously not just fabricated.
Also, the sheer amount of detail and passion that is on display in chapter one alone makes it pretty clear that it's not just some scammer - they would try to maximize their time by making something a lot less detailed.
fuck, open your fucking eyes, bitch, and read carefully, he doesn’t have more than one social network where he would post about his work like many normal developers!!!!!!
Maybe read my comment and then try again. I said scroll down to two months and read the dev's comment. And if you actually played the game, you would realize this guy isn't exactly your average developer. He's not the most communicative but he makes up for that with how insanely talented he is at game design. You play the game and tell me another game made by a single person that's higher quality than this.
wow nice work
Heeey i really enoyed Episode 1 it was amazing!!!!! i cant wait for Ep2. when its gonna be ready. I purchased the game 260 days ago LOL :D
Don't worry, it will be out in 2026, December probably. No rush, everything is under control :)
hahahha thank you s much :D
Hey there
@AdamDubiGames Could you please respond to my email ?
Regards
Slinkeyyy
Hey there man, it's a great game but I'm facing some challenges when I play it on my PC. My graphics card is AMD Radeon TX 5700 RX and I use AMD Radeon Ryzen RX Vega 11. Is there any way to tune down the quality of the graphics so that the game runs faster? Because I tried to reduce the resolution but it keeps on automatically revert to 100%. Any help would be great!
The graphics settings are really weird, even though it has a slider so you'd imagine you could set the values to whatever you like it turns out there are actually pre-sets. So you need to drop the value low enough for it to jump to that pre-set graphical value and sadly there are no indications as to where these value pre-sets are on the bar. Just play around with them starting from the lowest end to the highest to get what you want
I’m foaming at the mouth and scratching my neck for Episode 2
Really enjoying this game. Wonder if it would be possible to get VR support. That would be amazing.
I IMPATIENTLY await the next episode for this dude, love from Sapphire Lotus!
Absolutely incredible game, although a little short. Graphics, sound design, and animations are out of this world. I have never seen a game as polished as this one, and the fact that a single person made this blows my mind.
If you read through some of the creator's responses, it's clear that he's extremely skilled at all aspects of game design, and very passionate about this game. The game has not been abandoned although it may be a while till Chapter 2 comes out (based on his responses). That being said, the game only takes a little over an hour to complete, but that hour is one of the best I've ever had in videogame history.
P.S. I can see the inspiration from SOMA (my favorite game of all time), and I love it!
Any news on when the vr version is going to drop? I played a bit in uevr then stopped to wait for your version.
i really wanted to play this game but i use controller and when i push forward the controller that you have in the game keeps popping up and theres no way to remap the controls i dont have the best desk for keyboard and mouse is why i use a controller mainly.
This game look's absolutely astonishing and keeps you on the edge of your seat the play and feel reminds me of the new Resident Evil Games. if Capcom was smart, they would hire AdamDubiGames to bring another level horror to their company
I made this gameplay about 6 months ago but this game was AMAZING I even was streaming it and the dev stopped by! Subscribe to my channel if you like to watch all the best horror gameplays https://youtu.be/1QN_lkAOo88
Foremost, this game is looking "Very" promising. Question - As I play the game, the controller keeps popping on screen, even after I chose to hide it. The controller blocks most of the game view area. Is there a way to keep the controller hidden, until I do need to use it? Apology, up front, if I'm asking this question on the wrong forum. Thanks
Chordosis changed my life
so, another fraud. It's sad but outside steam is a rule.
I think this is a solo dev.
How is it a 'fraud'? It's a single SOLO dev, and things take time - also, you don't know what has been going on in their life, right?
be calm and try to read the comments before mine, till 2 months ago this "project" seemed abandoned. RIGHT?
Calling it a fraud and getting upset, shouting and telling me to be calm all at the same time; you sound confused lol.
He's not wrong.
Seems so... I haven't heard back after paying $10 extra to have my name added.
It's a solo dev and the game is worth the money paid.
