DEVELOPMENT

 

           "Act II was released on the 22nd of May 2020! It has taken around 6 years of spare-time work to get to this point, with just over 3 years of that in Early Access. There have been 80 content updates to the game in total across the 3 platforms supported, with 35 development blog videos and 800+ members of the Discord community.

        I was digging through the build archives, and wanted to share this build for Windows from the 30th of November 2014 - https://iamestranged.com/distribute/prealpha/build-30-11-14-with-prereqs.zip. This is the earliest playable build of Act II, and you can see how the first section of the game evolved into the first few levels of the game.

I'll have more to say about the future of Estranged post-release: it depends on how the game is received, and whether there is an appetite for more. I would absolutely love to develop more, and there is a lot more of the Estranged story to tell.

I say this every post - but I want to give a sincere thank you to everyone involved in the project. From those that tested it and submitted feedback to those that translated the game - thank you for making Estranged: Act II possible!"   ~ Alan Edwardes

GAMEPLAY

 

           Estranged: Act II follows the story of a fisherman, stranded on a mysterious island during a violent storm.

The game is a standalone sequel to Estranged: Act I, which followed our hero's adventure in a search for a way to get home.

Experience what the island has in store as you uncover the secretive Arque Corporation, burrowing ever deeper into their dangerous and haphazard operations.

GAMEPLAY UPDATES ( LATEST )

 Final Ending Scene

          The previous ending was temporary but very nearly final - the game now has a final ending.

New Achievements

    A few players have requested more achievements for the game - so there are now two more! The first is for listening to recorders, and the second is for aligning the satellite the same as its real world counterpart in the final section of the game. I would like to thank everyone that contributed achievement ideas!

Easter Eggs

    It might be the staying-at-home thing getting to me, but I reprised my role as Liam Jones for some live action easter eggs embedded in the game - a total of 4. Keep a look out in the Arque office areas!

Fire Safety

        Arque's fire safety standards weren't quite up to standard, so work has been done to remedy that in their facilities throughout the game.
