I really hope this is not the case, and I know this might even be offensive to some, but it is possible that Adam is dealing with severe mental health issues. As I said, I truly hope this man is doing well and is just on a longer break. This game is awesome, but if you have played his other game, Adam - Lost Memories, you will find that Adam had a very troubled past. Take this with a grain of salt, of course, as it might have been written solely to set the tone for the game. However, I doubt he stands to gain much from lying about such a topic. Here's a copy-paste from the Steam page of that game:
Based on a story that happened to me when I was a child.
I created this story-driven psychological horror game based on my personal experiences with child abuse.
Fear in real life is not from zombies that want to eat your brain, or the ghost that came back from the afterlife to open your fridge while you slept.
True fear is when you cry in the corner of your small room for some food and water.
When you are constantly shamed and humiliated for years and you can't see the end of it.
I want you to feel this type of terror because this is what child abuse really is, and I think more people should talk about it.
This is not a walking simulator, and this game does not rely on jump scares.
You play as a mentally ill person who suffers from panic disorders.
You play as me..."
As you can see, our game developer here has not had it easy, assuming this is true. So please, be considerate in your comments and send your prayers and best wishes to this man in the hopes that we see him return to developing this amazing game.
Oh thats good too hear! I hope he is doing well and will return to this game at some point. It has a lot of potential for sure. I will edit my post a bit in this case.
Are you able to reach him on reddit perhaps and ask?
I tried to reply to him on a comment that at least had something to do with this website (he's very active but to avoid suspicion, I didn't want to reply to him on something that was completely unrelated. The comment I replied to was from months ago but I thought it was good enough since he's on a lot of subreddits that have nothing to do with video games or his game and he hasn't talked about his game in a long time). My comment was to warn him to give a public statement on the status of the development of his game as quickly as possible because people are starting to take action and accusing this game of being a scam. One comment from October of this year said that by the end of that month if Adam doesn't give a public update, they'll report the game as a scam and get this site to remove it. It's long past that month, the game is still up and that commenter hasn't said anything else since, so I can only speculate on whether or not the commenter went through with reporting it or changed their mind. I made it clear to Adam that while I'm worried about the development of his game too and want him to make a transparent statement on how it's going instead of being silent, I was more worried about his game possibly being removed behind his back because people are crying "scammer." I told him that my main message was for him to make an update as quickly as possible before someone takes it down when he's not looking, I don't even care if it's cancelled or not at this point. It's been about a week since I posted that comment and he has yet to respond.
Update for my own problem, i post here a while ago.
For all who had the problem, that the game starts with a black screen. It is a problem with the Unreal Engine on my Computer, not a problem of the game. This is important Try launching it with -ngxdisable in the "properties" box. It works for me now. And so i am happy to play this awesome and fantastic game. Thanks for this game, Adam !
Bueno, me pasé para ver si había alguna actualización y todo sigue igual.
Me rallé mucho en el final del episodio (que compré como fundadora) porque esperaba que hubiera algo más y no sabía si era cosa mía que no sabía averiguar algún puzzle o simplemente era lo mismo (lo segundo sería lo más cierto)
Entiendo que es una buena entrega y que ha habido mucho sacrificio, voluntad y amor, y está bien que pidas apoyo financiero para poder mantenerte mientras trabajas en el desarrollo.
También entiendo que a veces la vida te lleva por otros derroteros, quizás ahora no estés con ánimos para trabajar en ello o sí lo estás haciendo y andas enclaustrado, no sé.
Me gustaría pedirte por favor que des alguna información o señal de vida, aunque sea que tuviste una crisis existencial o un gran problema o lo que sea y que por ello no has podido avanzar. Si es con honestidad y cariño, todo irá bien. Y si sale gente hate nos los comemos!!
Adam...please, I hope You are still working hard on this. Maybe some difficulties in Your personal life? But don´t abandon us. This is still the best looking horror game so far and I love this theme, setting, atmosphere...I need to play more of this. If this was all for nothing, still, I love to play the Chapter One from time to time. Great stuff, man.
Tried to play the demo by launching both .exe but I just had a blackscreen and nothing ever happen... Is it just because my graphic card is not powerful enough ? In anyway, the game looks gaddamn amazing !! *o*
he owes you it does he hahahahahaha funny cuz i dident see that in the terms and conditions when buying the first episode, iff you only bought ep1 expecting 2episodes then you should have waited till 2 were released you mong
If you use those things called eyes to read, and read the description up above on the game, it literally says when you buy the Founders edition, which is the one edition you can buy, you get episode 1 and it comes with episode 2 as well, as it will be finished "soon" according to the description. Now there is no episode 2 left, so thus yes he at least owes us one more episode.
Wow this was absolutely really really great game I like it very much and the game looks absolutely great can't wait to play more I hope to see more anyway well done keep it up!
I supported this game when it first came out. Paid a premium price for the game too. Does anyone have any concrete proof or links to Adam working on this game still? I mean he said part 2 was 90% done a YEAR ago. No posts, no updates, no information publicly anywhere. If you have proof that he is 1) Still alive 2) Working on the project (with active links or screen shots of live production ) 3) Any release date of the other parts?. If you have no proof then anything you say like "yeah he is still working on it, or I spoke to him the other day" Means absolutely nothing. I don't want to hate on the guy or say anything bad because the game is great. However a year with no public updates, no more trailers, development insights? Yeah that is not okay and not on, even the newest of developers keep there customers in the loop. All in all this feels like a con and an empty promise until Adam proves otherwise.
it is okay he doesent owe you another installment nor does he owe you a explaination, I have for the record seen footage of the 2nd installment on his youtube channel
He actually does owe us a second episode. The game was sold on the pretense that episode 2 was 90% complete. Meaning it was supposed to be a guaranteed release. It's actually illegal in the United States to sell people a product based on a lie. The truth is you got duped just like the rest of us. Thats why your here now because you wanted to see if it was released. The fact you have seen the videos of a second episode only backs up the promise of a second episode. That makes your entire argument irrelevant.
Hahaha except im not butt hurt like you i paid for episode 1 i got it. Its pretty simple lol, its not an argument its a fact, he dont owe you shit haha even tho you think he does in your deluded mind. read again... do i want another episode? Yes. Did i buy a pretense of another episode no. I bought..... you guessed it, episode 1
All of that aside. Because you really aren't understanding what makes the whole thing wrong. I spent a few days tracking Adam down online and I found him. Still active on Reddit posting to people. I messaged him and he didn't say anything. Thats expected, but I have enough information now to determine he is more than likely still working on it. He said he truly thinks he has something special with the game. He created Adam. His post to this comment board about the status of this game was less than 6 months ago. He has also been working on it for over 4 and a half years now. All I told him was it would be the right thing to do to at least let us know what's up with the game.
are you this stupid? When you buy a product that states its a 5 part game. Even in the first chapter, he states chapter 2 is 90% done and will be released soon. Doesn't owe us? We are paying customers. Regardless what you believe it is illegal in many countries to sell a product and not deliver it. That my friend is called a scam. However you keep being rude and inconsiderate of others and see where that gets you. Your answers prove nothing and actually don't add to this conversation. Like I said until I see actual evidence of episode 2 being released and officially announced this game will remain a scam in my eyes until proven otherwise. I bought Episode 1, under the impression that Episode 2 would not be far off and then 3, 4, 5 etc. Given how much exposure this game got at release so many high profile gamers / YouTubers / Streamers played the game, there is no way he didn't make money from that. The fact he is straight up ignoring the public is a massive red flag for me if what teufchirstus said is true. Anyway, have a good day.
just to clear some things up since you seem to think making a game is simple, if you look in to the details of this game you can tell he have put lots of time in to it, and you don't know what's going on in his private life as well, he doesent owe you to tell what he does in private.
Making games takes time no matter if he said 90% is done, it's done when it's done. We all have tons of games to play while waiting for episode 2

He's still active on Reddit. He's fine.
Whats stopping him to drop by here and give us an update? Maybe he forgot user and pass?
Oh thats good too hear! I hope he is doing well and will return to this game at some point. It has a lot of potential for sure. I will edit my post a bit in this case.

Tried to play the demo by launching both .exe but I just had a blackscreen and nothing ever happen... Is it just because my graphic card is not powerful enough ?
In anyway, the game looks gaddamn amazing !! *o*
great game, cheers
Purchased for $10.00 300 days ago (45% off)
And still no update in those 300 days
If you're really that pressed over $10 I think you may have more to worry about than an update
go away boy
everyone needs to stop being so entitled. ADAM DOES NOT OWE YOU AN EPISODE 2. nor does he owe you updates on the games progress.
i bought founders edition and would I like another episode Hell yeah, does he owe me one NO
this guy probably has a busy life and a day job chill tf out XD
i paid for episode 1 and thats what i got.
adam dont let these people get to you, thankyou for a awsome game and hope you are doing well.
Actually, he does.
It is mentioned the 2nd episode would be released in FULL in the very near future. Vague? Yes. Owed? 100
he owes you it does he hahahahahaha funny cuz i dident see that in the terms and conditions when buying the first episode, iff you only bought ep1 expecting 2episodes then you should have waited till 2 were released you mong
