Great, short game. One hour of a really cool, polished experience. Some additional stuff hidden here and there, so it's cool to play it more than once.
I bought this game at the end of 2023, it's a shame that the game is just this short, but I know very well that making a larger product alone is a really difficult process. It's good to remember what empathy is and I know how the creative process can be difficult. I know how many things can go wrong while working on a video game. Believe or not, but a developer is also a human being. That's why I'm shocked that people are berating the author and constantly using the word “scam” - No, it is not a scam and you do not understand the definition of the term. It's a small, one-person project that maybe will be finished, maybe not, deal with it. It's not a crowd funding, you bought a product. You got an hour-long game for $10. No one yells "this is scam! It's not enough!" for David Szymanski's games with a similar price/amount of content.
If the developer has some personal problems I can see why he stopped checking this toxic place with all needy people yelling "scaaaaam" with some guys stalking him on reddit, and other weirdos with no life.
This game is really cool and looks great visually with AMAZING sound design and some pretty good gameplay + story to boot, however it's abandonware, so buy Chap. 1 at your own risk. The 2nd chapter that was supposedly "90% complete" has remained unfinished for about 2 years now (has been like this since I bought the 1st chapter in 2023) and Adam Dubi has been completely silent on the game as a whole when asked by fans about it, all while remaining active on socials like Reddit. Overall, It's a cool experience and I would even say (as a huge alien nerd) that this is probably the best alien horror game I've ever played, so it's unfortunate that it ended up being a scam by the dev Adam Dubi. Just be aware you are buying an unfinished game that will remain unfinished and is VERY short (it is essentially a tech demo, albeit a good one) so don't get too attached to it.
A complete game from AAA is $70 US. An indie game of one man with the amount of content already (Chap 1 and then Some of Chap 2) for $10? And entitled folks think it is a scam? You wish you had 1% of the talent. I am WHOLLY satisfied for the $10 I spent today, and very happy having played Chap 1 and currently at the start of Chap 2 demo. I look forward to additions, but I don't expect them because $10 doesn't in any way grant me super duper rights (read: entitlement) to content that was barely $10. $70, yup, I'd be angry and rightly so. In short, I'm a well-adjusted adult. Context matters.
How on earth did he scam you? You bought a game that was like $6.00, the price of a coffee and maybe a muffin with it.. The game was enjoyable. Whether he said he was making a part 2 or not, he does not owe anyone anything. Let me repeat that for the entitled prick that you are. - He does not owe you or anyone anything. "Unfulfilled promises" .. like he's your dad or something. Get it together man..
Hmm... another keyboard hero??? You wouldn't say that to my face, be sure about that. What I'm talking about is that this is an unfinished project and therefore actually a demo version. And releasing it for such a long time in this false state doesn't seem right to me. By the way, it wasn't $6.00, but $9.00, but that's okay, it's pitty difference...
How many people did this boy financially benefit from like this? I just want him to state publicly that for some reason he doesn't want to or can't continue and that's it.
And this website can delete it or take appropriate steps. So shut up and behave with respect, because you don't know me at all... I'm not talking about myself, but about how wrong this whole thing is. A scam - Nothing more, nothing less.
The fact that money was involved makes this a very serious matter if the right person gets involved. People go to jail all the time for scamming people on gofundme with fake problems, or any kickstarter site where a good or service is promised for money and the purchaser never receives said good or service. Just because he is in Hungary doesn't protect him from US law. If it is on a big enough scale I'm sure extradition to the US to serve some time is very possible.
I hope the Dev is OK. Has anyone heard from him at all? It will be a huge shame if this is abandoned as its an immense game, even from the first couple of levels (although could be optimised a bit better lol)
I happen to come across this game and absolutely loved the unique art style and gameplay mechanics! While unfortunately I don't stream, it's clear a lot of passion went into this project.
I run a Discord server dedicated to game developers where we discuss projects, share feedback, and explore opportunities for equity-based investment. I think you might find it valuable, especially if you're looking to connect with like-minded developers and potential investors.
And I would personally like you to be our first client.
it’s not like they stole people’s money? for five or ten dollars this looks and sounds amazing. it’s not always easy to finish a project. i hope they can get it together, even if this is all we get it was an incredible vision and experience.
spending money in the maldives? why are you in here telling everyone it’s a scam. why are you on like a life’s mission to tell everyone how awful they are? idgi 🤷🏻♀️
Chordosis has to be one of the most moody games I've ever played. Every nook and crany seemed filled to the brim with secrets and unspeakable horrors. I can't recommend it enough and if you like cosmic horror, you should give this one a try, although it's not finished and it has no release date in sight. Unfortunately, my video doesn't make the game justice but seeing that there is also a demo, you can try it for yourself.

You've got one-hour long game for 10 dollars, how it is a scam?
Because it is supposed to be more than that. That is what was promised when we all bought into it.
A complete game from AAA is $70 US. An indie game of one man with the amount of content already (Chap 1 and then Some of Chap 2) for $10? And entitled folks think it is a scam?

Scam as hell... Unfulfilled promises, insincerity... The boy got money from people and gave up on the project. Who knows where he's enjoying himself.
It would be nice if you at least had the courage and honor to tell us all that you're not going to finish it for some reason. That would be fair.
I want this server to delete this scam, so that he can no longer rob players of time, money and hope.
Enjoy our money...

I hope the Dev is OK. Has anyone heard from him at all? It will be a huge shame if this is abandoned as its an immense game, even from the first couple of levels (although could be optimised a bit better lol)
