We’re excited to share a couple of announcements today: reaching a development milestone and the launch of our Discord server!

Development Milestone: Pre-Alpha

First, we reached an important milestone this week: Pre-Alpha! This means a lot of different things at a lot of different studios but for us it means that we have in some way “proven” every single aspect of the game. From chapter 1 to the epilogue, from the basement to the library, from voice acting to visual effects, and from portals to spectral writing, we have an initial version of everything that we are happy with the direction of. With being only a week or two out from soft-locking the script, now it’s all about raising everything to our high standard of quality through iteration. There’s lots to be done, but the game is coming together really well and we’re hurtling toward the finish line.

Launching a Discord Server

Second, and in celebration of this milestone, we’ve started a Discord server for The Haunting of Joni Evers and the wider Worlds Across the Causeway! Join us to stay up to date on development, learn more about Joni, meet the developers, discuss and explore the Worlds, and be part of a community of curious story lovers.

A huge thank you to everyone who has played the demo, wishlisted, and shared with their friends so far! We hope you’ll join our Discord and continue sharing the game so as many people as possible can experience Joni's tale and help her break the curse.
