Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
The long road through the mountains and forests is finally behind you. The night is unnervingly quiet, headlights cutting twisted shapes into the darkness. At last — a lonely billboard with the name Roswood.
Something feels wrong here. As if the town itself is watching. What secrets are its people hiding? What waits in the shadows of these streets?
It’s time to find out. The game is out now.
Friends, it’s happening — after 1.5 years of sleepless nights, hundreds of commits, and countless cups of coffee, our game is finally ready to launch! Tomorrow it will set sail into the open world, and we can’t wait for you to experience what we’ve been building for so long.
These 18 months have been tough, emotional, and absolutely unforgettable. We laughed when things broke in the weirdest ways and celebrated every moment when everything finally clicked together.
Tomorrow is the moment of truth — the game becomes available to players all over the world (with just a few country exceptions). We sincerely wish you thrilling adventures, discoveries, and pleasant surprises in our world. Explore, find secrets, and most importantly — have fun!
Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way. ❤️
See you at the launch!

We’ve heard your requests – and we agree! I Want to Believe deserves to be experienced by more players around the world. That’s why we’re working hard to bring Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language support to the game.
Our goal is to deliver a fully localized experience: from UI and subtitles to the detective board, notes, and in-game internet. We want players from China, Japan, and Korea to enjoy the same immersive and eerie atmosphere while solving mysteries in Roswood Valley.
These translations will be added as free updates after release. We are collaborating with professional translators to make sure cultural nuance and tone are preserved, especially since the game leans heavily on humor, sarcasm, and small-town personality.
Stay tuned – we’ll share progress updates and screenshots of localized versions as we go. Your feedback will be invaluable when testing these builds, so if you’re a native speaker, we’d love to hear from you once the beta versions are ready!
Roswood is a strange place – and we can’t wait to open its doors to even more players around the world.
I was a bit late adding full Ukrainian voiceover to the game, so we didn’t manage to finish it before the start of Ukrainian Games Fest 2025. But I did manage before it ended.
Voiceover is the final stage of development — you get to it when you know the game is close to the finish line. Today I fully wrapped up collaboration with American and Ukrainian dubbing actors (not sure if that’s the right term). In total, 3 professional American VO actors and 8 Ukrainian actors took part — voices you’ve heard in movie theaters, on streaming shows, and even on TV.
Even though I don’t really like the prologue in I Want to Believe, I decided to keep it in the full version — and paid for its dubbing as well. Besides the prologue, the voiceover has already been added to the main story. The game is now in the stage of pre-release polishing and bug fixing. Over time, the release date was pushed back 4–5 times, but September 15, 2025 is now the final release date.
There are surprisingly few games in the world with professional Ukrainian voiceover. Apart from a few AAA titles like Stalker or Metro, it’s hard to name many off the top of your head. So don’t deny yourself such a rare experience. The first time I went all-in on this was in my debut Steam release — Timeloop: Sink Again Beach — and I’ve never regretted it. I can even say it was the main news hook and key selling feature of the game.
We’re excited to announce that we’ve officially completed the English voice-over for all in-game characters — and even the radio host! Both the Main Story and the prologue (demo) are now fully voiced. In total, the game features nearly 30 characters and over an hour of unique lines recorded for the radio.
The English VO is already integrated into the build. As for the Ukrainian version — voiced by some of the country’s best dubbing actors — it’s running slightly behind schedule, but it will be added before the end of the festival!
All temporary AI-generated voices are now gone for good. We strongly encourage you to try the game after this update. For Ukrainian players in particular, this will be a rare and unique experience. Fang’s Lab remains true to its principles, bringing familiar and beloved voices to our audience.
Today on Steam, the Ukrainian Games Festival kicks off again — a week-long celebration of Ukrainian games. From August 14 to 21 you’ll find discounts, demos, and premieres. Now in its fourth edition, the festival gathers hundreds of projects, from tiny indies to veteran studios. In short: loud, bright, and very us — come join in!
We’re in the lineup with an updated I Want to Believe demo. It’s a first-person action-detective set in a quiet northern U.S. town where aliens hide in plain sight among locals. Your camera catches the evidence, the pickup helps you slip through night roads, and stealth plus bold choices keep the tension high. We’re aiming to release on September 15, 2025, and the demo is already live on Steam. Big news: we’ve refreshed the demo with full human voice acting for every character and cutscene — no AI.
Drop by the festival page, play the demo, leave us your thoughts, and add the game to your wishlist — it helps a ton. And don’t forget to roam the fest: a sea of genres, a warm vibe, and plenty of great surprises from other teams.
