This game so far is amazing, and i cannot wait until the second episode is released. I played through this on Manjaro Linux running Proton GE 8-20, and it ran so smooth. I would love to see a native linux client in the future though. You can watch my play through on my youtube channel here. Keep up the great work Adam!
I am super impressed with this. The graphics are phenomenal and I love how eerie the episode/story was. This isn't scary in the fact of being like a traditional horror with jump scares but it has been made with such a real feeling behind it. There's believers and non-believers when it comes to UFO's or UAP's and for the people that do believe (like myself), that is where the unsettling feeling comes to hand of it being a horror. The fact of the unknown or how we make it out to be with our imagination. This has been done so expertly. especially for an indie game and although some might find this 'boring' due to no jump scares, it has been executed in the best way possible for it to be based on UFOs/UAPs. Sounding on the game was spot on, it added to the atmosphere while investigating the area and really does draw you in making you feel you're part of it. If a VR version of this was made that would be the icing on the cake.
This has one episode and already It has blown 'Greyhill Incident' out of the water, in my opinion anyway. I look super forward to the other episodes being released. Adam is clearly extremely inventive with his work, and as a great fan of this I am interested to see what other content follows or other content he has created. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Someone on Discord suggested this game for me to play. I was not at all disappointed. What a great experience. I am pumped for more! Keep up the great work!
Literally made me sign up and pay for a game on itch.io for the first time. There aren't enough cosmic horror games out there and those that exist are either poor quality or ALL some take on Lovecrafts works, which is fine but doesn't leave a lot of room for an authors own unique interpretation on the concept. That said you can tell a lot of the direction came from the movie version of Annihilation but that's not a bad thing. Especially in this underrepresented and underappreciated genre.
From the graphics, to the environments to the sound everything is stellar (teehee, pun). In particular the sound is a masterclass in gaming, you FEEL like you're there. Sound is one of the most important parts of horror games and yet is so often overlooked. The whole time I was playing I just kept repeating, "This is so damn cool!". To think one person did this all is amazing.
I've seen a lot of people say "It's not scary" but I'd argue 1) It's the first episode, the second episode preview suggests stronger scares as well as combat and 2) If you didn't at least get chills from the visuals and audio design then you probably aren't a fan of cosmic horror to begin with. This is the game fans of the genre have been wishing for, for years.
If I have to voice a complaint it's that the physics are a bit unreliable. Sometimes they interact properly and sometimes they just phase through the terrain. So far that isn't a problem but if any future puzzles rely heavily on the physics engine it could be an issue.
But that's such a small complaint in an overall cinematic triumph of the genre that it doesn't matter. I'm gushing, I know, I don't care.
Good graphics. That's about it. Massive disappointment. Not at all scary. 1 hour long preview with no combat, clunky unreliable physics, and you spend more time lost going 'what am I supposed to be doing' than actually enjoying the game. Relies HEAVILY on 'your character is crazy' storytelling so that you can't tell what's a hallucination and what's not. BTW visual and auditory hallucinations don't work like that. The engine performs horribly, and you can't change a lot of things that you would need to to make it perform better. Not worth the $6 I paid for it.
hi AdamDubiGames! Looks great and I'd really like to play the game now after I purchased it but unfortunately I cannot download it. Doesn't matter which computer I use and if I use the alternative download it always stops after some time and is never fully completed and the download cannot be continued... Do you have any other means to download the game?
Very nice production. The graphic design is astonishing. Atmosphere pours off the screen. The only thing that hurts is that the game is short... But still, Chordosis is a great experience for people, who like horror games. This is an Indie product on a game design level of AAA games. I highly recommend this title ;) Adam, I forgot to mention about weird movement animation on ladders. They are waaaay to fast, when the mouse cursor is positioned high overhead. For me, it has to be fixed!
Great game, a must-play for horror fans. The art and sound design rival those of AAA titles. Gameplay, although not groundbreaking, is smooth and engaging. Be warned, it can be a demanding on your graphics card at times; had to dial down my settings.
I tried playing this a while back and idk if my PC can handle the game. It was very laggy. I have changed something I might have messed up so I hope I can play it at it's fullest now. I'll test it out once I can.
Over all from my small experience with the game I would highly recommend if you can handle the game!
I watched a friend play this as I don't have a PC but I HIGHLY recommend this game. A beautiful piece of art with excellent gameplay and atmosphere made by a single human being
I had a really good time playing this game, especially since it is being made by a solo developer. Much appreciation to the developer for their effort. Can't wait for more episodes! Feel free to check out my playthrough:
The game is really cool. Visually, everything looks mega realistic. After I got acquainted with the demo version of the game, I really want to buy it and play it. Although there are no scary moments in the demo version, it still makes an impression. I wanted to share my first look at the game with the Ukrainian community, so I actually posted a video on YouTube.
P.S. I would like to see Ukrainian subtitles in the game, it would be very cool)
Came here for Vinny Vinesauce. This is one of the few horror games that made me physically shiver. The graphics, the atmosphere, the sound design... Making an good alien horror game is pretty difficult but this game nails it in every possible aspect. Considering this is the work of a solo developer makes it even more impressive. The game is in sale but I purchased it full price anyways because I thought buying it in sale wouldn't do justice to the work, effort and dedication put in this game (not to mention that there are lots of other low effort, cash grab games for lots more).
I usually never play horror game's. I want to, but my nerves are thin after 30+ years with cPTSD and Bipolar type 2. But this game.. It was something about it, so i started reading, and when i noticed "X-Files season 1", i just went ahead and bought it. And oh Man, i don't regret it one bit! The atmosphere, ambiance and small scripted scenes (i wont go into detail, since this game should be played blind imo) -are Top Notch! I will definitely play this here and there while waiting for more, and i am recomending it to everyone i talk to (not that many unfortunately/luckily)
You have made something special here, and I absolutely Love you for it! This is a quality experience, that ran well even on my GTX 1070
Cant wait till more of this game come s out because as it is the first chapter is kind of a slog and just as the game picks up it ends. Glad I got it on sale because even as is its not worth $9.99. Which Yeah I know the money helps the dev finish the game but still...
This is an amazing game. I had a blast playing it. The atmosphere is incredible and I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoy horror games, especially cosmic horror. Cant wait till part 2.
Impressive atmosphere and sound, very Silent Hill-ish with X-Files weirdness. Also ran flawless on my system (4070 Ti / NVMe SSD/ 21:9 1440p ultrawide). Looking forward to episode 2
Great game and has potential. Only thing is that the game had moments where it was super stutter and frames were dropping like crazy and my pc is doesn't have issues with any other games. even tried lowering resolution and it didn't really do anything. There were moments where Youd walk and all of a sudden it got smooth out of nowhere as if you were in a bugged zone in the game. Game crashed twice super laggy. But the game was great in terms of sound effects and graphics those were nailed to the t! If there is anything you can do to help performance that would be great. Also, some of the functions for gamepad compatibility were quite confusing making the interactions rather tedious. Great vision though I can see something brewing and hope to see more. I'm a streamer and my audience loved it despite the setbacks.
Again, check your config file and maybe check Task Manager for any other applications you may have open. Again, only 2060 and I easily surpass 100 fps.
All I can say is wow! Just the look of the game is amazing than you add in the terrorific(hehe) atmosphere and boom. I cannot wait to dive back into it and really explore more as I did or think I did happen to gloss over and miss some things. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes a good scare and intense moments.
I know this isn't your problem, I am not asking for a favor just advice. I just recently purchased this game and was so excited to play but unfortunately the device I originally purchased it on will not allow me to play it. Idk if it's because there's not enough room or just because it's not built for games like this one but anyways my husband said he had a computer that would work and set it up for me. I mean it's a black box hooked up to a big screen tv and keyboard/mouse lol but so far, he's been right it's way better than the last device but idk to get my game from the crappy device to this new device I'm using. Can anyone help me? I want to play this game so bad, and I would just buy it again, but I'm broke till payday which is two weeks from now (had to get kids Halloween costumes & pay rent) ... idk if I can wait that long lol OHHH THE AGONY!! i'M LITERALLY DYING HERE HELP MEHH ;)
You can probably transfer the files via a USB stick/external hard drive. You could also try and upload the files to a private cloud from your old computer and download them from the same account on the new computer,
This was an wonderful game!!! I played it on stream and myself and my community loved it! We can't wait for the next episode to drop because I will def be playing it on stream!!
THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE BANGER OF A GAME! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT MORE IS INSTORE. I HAVENT PLAYED A GAME THIS BRILLIANTLY MADE IN A WHILE, WELL DONE, I CANNOT WAIT FOR PART 2.
THE GRAPHICS, THE SOUND, THE MUSIC, IT SENT CHILLS DOWN MY SPINE AND IM SO EXCITED TO UNCOVER THE REST OF THE STORY.
YOU DID SUCH AN AMAZING JOB I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW WONDERFUL OF AN EXPERIENCE IT WAS PLAYING THIS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR EFFORT.
Saw the trailer last night and ong it looks amazing so bought it straight away and played through it. This game is so good and i would say hands down best Alien type game ive ever played. Atmosphere was likea modern day Silent Hill.
I've always had a fascination with aliens and abductions since XFiles days and this ticks so many boxes for me.
I can't wait for the next chapter to come out and you have my total support and im a fan
I eagerly anticipated discovering where this journey would lead me. During my experience with this game, I encountered several instances that left me in suspense, unsure if the game had frozen as I patiently waited it out. This uncertainty persisted through multiple playthroughs, leading me to conclude that it might be an intentional aspect of the game. Here is a video of my playthrough.
Just finished watching this game on Fooster's youtube channel. I am completely hooked and decided to purchase it myself. I am looking forward to the coming chapters!
Let me say this. This game has the potential to be the best alien horror game to ever be made. I think so highly of this game and the gameplay simply blew my mind.
This made for an EXCELLENT playthrough and commentary on YouTube. We had a blast on my channel playing this. Had to bust out my tin foil hat! More people need to play this game!
The game looks amazing, the atmosphere is perfect and there’s an element of dread in the air the keeps you on your toes. Please continue the cosmic horror element in play because there’s not a lot of game the incorporate that into there games or not enough. I do beg and I know I might get some hate for this but once the game is complete on pc you should think about crossing the game over to consoles 👀 that would be great to grab a larger audience! Keep up the amazing work !

Can we get this on steam plz?
the audio in particular needs a mention - often overlooked in games due to focus being on graphics.
Brilliant experience!
This game so far is amazing, and i cannot wait until the second episode is released. I played through this on Manjaro Linux running Proton GE 8-20, and it ran so smooth.

Anyone else having terrible performance? 80 fps in the begining, even on medium.
RTX 4070 I9 10900K 32 G RAM

This is a quality experience, that ran well even on my GTX 1070
Ciao Adamo!!
Mi scusi,
Dove vengono attualmente effettuati gli aggiornamenti una volta acquistato il gioco?
Quando sarà disponibile sulle varie piattaforme di gioco (steam ecc...) ?
Mi sto davvero divertendo con il gioco. Ottimo lavoro! "Che la forza sia con te"
Mille Grazie

No issues on my PC and I only have a 2060. Check your configuration, mate.
I have a 4070 i9 10900k, the game is good but runs like shit, 80 fps even with dlss
Again, check your config file and maybe check Task Manager for any other applications you may have open. Again, only 2060 and I easily surpass 100 fps.
Here is a message and the impression of a German streamer for you. It is at 1:46:30.
