I love extraterrestrial stories like this and this game gave me chills. This is a perfect game for my dad, he’s a sucker for things like this and more. I live in an area heavily filled with ufos/aliens and this game tells here as well. Well done Dev. 🖤
Once in a while an indie game comes along that just absolutely smashes it out of the park, and Adam, I have to say sir - congratulations on this exquisite gem of a horror game. From the haunting atmosphere, to the superb soundscape, to the level design, everything about Chordosis (Chapter 1) resonates on such a level it transcends the genre.
This has also been released at a time when there appears to be a resurgence of all things 'alien' esque, which definitely had my blood pumping whilst playing. I loved the fact that you start in an RV which makes you feel safe and secure and the little details from being able to interact with practically every item (even swimming to other areas) shows the passion, dedication and attention to detail that you have imbued with the game.
I especially loved the fact that the epilogue gives you an insight into the next chapter, and is actually playable! Unfortunately on my video I hadn't updated my graphic card and there's some laggy framerate around the 40 minute mark for about 10 mins - this is solely down to me and not on the game itself.
An amazing game from an amazing developer - still can't believe this was done by a sole person. Well done sir.
please mr.adam can you upload your game on steam i would love to play it on steam just so i can expand my steam library and keep track of what games i have played
While Adam's said the Steam version is in the works, you can actually add non-Steam games to your Steam library. There's plenty tutorials online that shows the trick of it.
I can think of very few words to describe the haunting beauty of your game! That unease of the atmosphere the 'did i really just see that?' movement you barely catch in the corner of your eye. just amazing, I look forward to more!
Hi Adam! after played your game and post it on live on twitch and tik tok too,so many people are asking about your game,asking me the name of the game and being amazed by it! I hope you obtain a lot fo benefits and please don't stop you AWESOME job! My tik tok and twitch channel: Controversexia.
I think I skipped a bunch of the game. I picked up the gas can, went to fill it and couldn't find it in the inventory. So I left the van and ran. Went through the floor and into the light. Previews for the next episode. I don't like that gizmo you have to use. A regular inventory would've been great. The graphics look great and it ran well.
Im not afraid to said that this game could be GOTY if it wants. Incredible sounds, atmosphere, grafics and a story that you want to play over and over again to discover whats going on!! Better than lots of AAA games.
I did a video on my channel (Spanish) I hope you like it! Cant wait to play Chapter 2!
first of all ,it's nice to see Adam is active again and (from his interaction under some youtube videos) seems to be doing well.The game looks like it has nothing to envy it's predecessor,it's abvious that the strong point is the audio compartment,even more then Adam Lost memories.It's full,rich,articualte,like if the sound design alone is trying to tell the story and is trying to make us FEEL what sadie is feeling .I see a lot of potential in this title.The graphics look great,but in my case i'm heavily limited by my Gtx 1080 :( . The game has never crashed on me,but ,as espected,has a few small bug: 1) in the section when you have to go inside the cement pipe you have to jump in order to get on the same plane as the pipe to be able to crouch ,2) while walking on the street in the first section you can briefly see some cables running across the screen never to be seen again.Other than that i experienced no bug/glitches.I only have 3 complaints: 1) i'm the kind of player who tends to explore a lot but i felt like i missed a few things while playing and a youtube video confirmed me this,a few times i wanted to go back and check another area before progressing but the games was scripted to only let me go foreward, 2) i'm not the kind of player who enjoys having a gun in an horror game ,it makes me feel like i can fight and be in control (2 things that stop me from being scared) but if this is the direction you want this game to take i'd suggest you improove the mechanics behind using the gun(s) since it feels sloppy like if i'm tryind to use the gun with a broken wrist, 3)walking up and down ladders feels like i'm getting launched in space,please have a look at that .Hope this project goes as you wish,i can't wait for future updates
hi friend, this game is so amazing...good work I'm just here to report this bug I had when trying to hide out of fear XD This tree is a little after passing the first wall. thx and I AM GROOT
Thank you for the kind words, and for point it out to me. Small bugs like these can be hard to find :D Fixed it already! An update with more stuff will be available soon. Thanks! :)
Drew I can always rely on you to guide me towards some insanely awesome looking games... This game looks freakin' incredible and I'm gonna play this next!
Hello good!!! I already passed the Demo, I enjoyed it very much. The only thing I miss is that it is not in Spanish, and it is very necessary because I don't understand English very well T^T
I got stuck at the end of the Demo, I didn't find anyone who had done a Gameplay in that area, I don't know if I'm hallucinating or something can be done to open those doors... hum...
You are the first person I have bought a game from on Itch.io, and it is very worth it.
There is no controller support, right? I have a colleague who wants to play it but if it's not with a controller he doesn't feel comfortable, I was looking at it but I think there is no support. You'll have to see how I play xD
Anyway, I'll leave the Gameplay here (sorry, it's in Spanish because it's my native language so you might not understand me, but the screams can be understood xD)
Lenyűgöző hangulat és környezet, olyan mintha Silent Hill kelne életre csak sokkal jobban :). Egy dolog zavart viszont mégpedig az, hogy én személy szerint amint lehetett kiszálltam a járműből, mert gyalogosan akartam kiélvezni a nyomasztó, ködös, elhagyatott környezet minden szegletét, benézni mindenhová stb. Szóval én gyalog mentem végig így viszont egyes kommentárok illetve a benzines feladat okafogyottá vált, pedig jó volt felfedezni a benzinkút területét meg megcsinálni amiket kellett.
WOW! Just WOW! This is by far THE BEST ALIEN HORROR GAME I have ever played, and one of the BEST INDIE HORROR GAMES I have ever come across! Im Impressed with what the developer has achieved creating this game all by himself, i can not wait for the next episodes! 10/10! Here is my playthough on YOUTUBE, you can see how terrified i was while playing this game!
ok.. i did really enjoy this game the visuals are great and the atmosphere is super creepy, but i dont think you should have released this as a episode 1 and 2 when that does come out. i think you should have made a small 10-15 demo and made episode 1 and 2 into a full finished 2-3 hour game. this episode felt abit empty, felt like i was missing something. from the small demo of the episode 2 feels like it will be more of a proper game and im excited to play that when it does come out! also a lot of fps lag. i have a pretty decent build and i had to play on medium settings and dlss on quality. again dont get me wrong this was a good experience and i enjoyed but i just wish episode 1 and 2 was just one long game!
I noticed the game actually Heavily Rewards exploring in areas beyond the direct storyline. if you stop the RV when you see a light flicker on the road and check it out or walk around more. you'll find items and events (Also some dangers, so crouch and be careful) that will pull the story more together. I believe his intent was to have gamers explore around the area more.
So, I got to say, congrats on what you did here. I came here after watching CJUGames playthrough of the Founder's Edition. While watching the playthrough, I realized how much we share ideologically in regards to game design decisions and progression techniques. You brought a massive grin to my face. What a pleasant f#$@ed up game. It was an addicting and engaging experience with excellent diegetic UI, impressive visuals, good optimization, perfect soundscape and audio.
You have me invested. It may not be much, but I did throw a bit more money your way. I'll be waiting for the next update to play it myself. I WILL FIND the time to play it. Keep up the amazing work.
This is a particularly successful first episode! I have greatly appreciated the possibility of choosing the game mode (thus allowing those who have difficulty with the action phases to enjoy the universe without being stuck by the first fight ^^). The subject covered is very interesting, and above all presented in an effective and original way. But above all it's difficult to remain unmoved by the graphics with extremely detailed textures, the lights of every scene, the audio which sets a distressing atmosphere by itself, as well as the original objects like the inventory, and the magnificently managed camera movements (discreet movements , even if immobile, to represent the hero's breathing). It's an episode that really makes you want to discover more. I join each player here in expressing my impatience with the release of the next episodes (obviously hoping that the action sessions will be optional in the "exploration" mode). I also appreciate the strong support for Itch.io, even if the game is also released on Steam (you have to earn a living): many developers took advantage of itch.io as a springboard before turning definitively to Steam, forgetting that without Itch.io and its supporters on this website, their game would not have been possible. Wishing you excellent continuation.
I've seen that if you set it on easy, you can explore more and in detail without having to worry about dangers. you should check it out that way, at least once, through the first episode. You'll get your exploration mode youre hoping for, in a sense
I've already noticed this game mode, since it's the one I obviously chose to play this first episode. My remark was more focused on the next episodes, given that in the final preview, we have to shoot an alien: I therefore submitted the hope that this kind of phase would be optional, ultra-easy, or even removed, in the mode dedicated to exploration, to allow everyone to find their rhythm and gaming pleasure in this exciting universe.
I gotcha, having a gun to fight the alien kinda breaks the emersion a little, because you feel like youre in control and can fight back. I guess its possible he could make a mode that makes it similar to how SOMA's mechanics are in dealing with entities, with no weaponry. That would actually be kinda cool and scary AF
I've noticed people scripting it, go through the story again slowly and write down what everything you read says (But Translated to Spanish). then have your friend voice over the reading parts in editing. Just make sure to give a little extra time of recording the notes and stuff, so you can edit in the voice over and just delete the excess you don't need on video.
I just want to translate the text - I already did with Labyrinthine. The problem is I have no idea about how to edit the files for that, they can just send me the file to edit it myself
oh ok I gotcha, unfortunately I dont know where that file location is in this game to do that. Sorry, I really wish I could help you out, but you're probably right if you ask Adam he would probably be able to help you. Just send him a message to his email
I kept telling my friends how big Unreal 5 was gonna be, and noone seemed to care. If this is what an indie dev can do with this, imagine whats to come
Not that this game needs it, but I'm going to do all I can to promote it. This is stellar work in all avenues, a masterwork in game development. Everything from storytelling, stunning visuals, and incredible audio design, this game has it all. Needless to say, I cannot wait for episode 2. Well done, dev! You have a bright future ahead of you.
Absolutely enjoyed the demo and will be purchasing the full game! Love the style , the atmosphere and the gameplay! Keep up the good work! I did have some dropped frames in the broken down house. But nothing too bad.

I love extraterrestrial stories like this and this game gave me chills. This is a perfect game for my dad, he’s a sucker for things like this and more. I live in an area heavily filled with ufos/aliens and this game tells here as well. Well done Dev. 🖤
What an amazing game ! You have done an incredible job here ! Congrats, can't wait to see what is comming next !
i have problems to unzip the file
Absolutely love this game, gifted it to two others cause I want to see this game shine, I can't wait to see this game in it's entirety.

One of the best Indie Games i have ever played, looking forward for episode 2, absolutely amazing .. Great Work !!!
I can think of very few words to describe the haunting beauty of your game! That unease of the atmosphere the 'did i really just see that?' movement you barely catch in the corner of your eye. just amazing, I look forward to more!

WOW... this game is pretty amazing so far! I've never seen visuals like this, either!
I think I skipped a bunch of the game. I picked up the gas can, went to fill it and couldn't find it in the inventory. So I left the van and ran. Went through the floor and into the light.

hi friend, this game is so amazing...good work
I'm just here to report this bug I had when trying to hide out of fear XD

Fixed it already! An update with more stuff will be available soon.
Thanks! :)
Amazing game! Congrats and greetings from Argentina!
Really great first impression! The graphics are amazing and the atmosphere is top tier. I only have 2 critiques on it.
1. Gamepad support is pretty rough
2. Text in the menus and interface are really small
Other than that, I am really looking forward to more.
Drew I can always rely on you to guide me towards some insanely awesome looking games... This game looks freakin' incredible and I'm gonna play this next!
Great game. It deserves to be on Steam where more people would be able to buy it.
A lot of people are simply not aware of itch.io
