Be among the first to experience our Early Access build
Hello again! We're excited to announce the final round of playtesting before release! Our Early Access build is ready, and we'd love for you to help us test it before launch.
Interested? Apply through the form here to secure your spot.
Playtesters who complete all requirements will receive: ✅ A Steam key when Separated launches in Early Access. ✅ Your name featured in the in-game credits. ✅ Early access to pre-release content. ✅ A special Playtester role in our official Discord server.
We’ve updated our Steam networking solution and are conducting another round of testing to help resolve connectivity issues for players.
If you’re still experiencing problems connecting or creating an in-game lobby, please join our Discord server and let us know. Your feedback helps us identify and fix issues faster.
We tried using Steam networking to address connectivity issues for some users, but it caused latency spikes for most players. For now, we’ve reverted to the previous, more stable networking solution while we work on a better approach to deliver the best possible experience.
If you experience any connection issues, please check the FAQ section on our Discord server for help.
Hey everyone,
Over the past two weeks, we’ve noticed a drop in wishlist additions and a rise in wishlist deletions. We want to understand what changed from your perspective.
Your feedback helps us make better decisions—and improve the game for everyone.
We’d really appreciate your thoughts on things like:
Did our migration to Steam Networking cause issues for you?
Did a new issue arise after the new update?
If you removed the game from your wishlist, what was the main reason?
Even short, honest answers are extremely helpful!

Due to many complaints, we dropped Epic’s networking and are now using Steam’s to resolve connection issues. This is still in public beta testing, so please try it out and make sure to fill out the form found in the main menu to report any latency or connectivity issues.
If you still encounter any problems connecting or creating an in-game lobby, please join our discord channel and let us know about the issue. Alternatively, you can compress the Saved folder, located at:
Game Installation Folder → Separated → Saved
and send it directly to me on Discord.

Now more than ever, we are working hard to finish the game and adjust it according to your feedback, adding the final touches so you have the most polished experience we can provide.
To celebrate, we’ve released an overhauled demo with a new environment unique to Separated, new animations, an updated engine, and medal achievements.
This is our biggest event before release, so if you can try the demo, share it with friends, or post about it, it would mean a lot and help more players discover the game.
We’ve read all your feedback forms and are working on refining gameplay and fixing bugs.
Thanks to your support, we’ve reached 93,000+ demo players — a huge milestone!

Rewards for playtesters who complete all requirements: ✅ A Steam key for the game upon release. ✅ Your name in the in-game credits. ✅ Early access to upcoming features. ✅ A special Playtester role in our official Discord server.
Note: We can only select a few of the applicants each round, but don't worry — this won't be the last playtest!
Replaced the old Google Form submission (v0.2.1_Demo) with the new form (v0.2.5_Demo).
Replaced in-game puzzle hints with much clearer and redesigned hints that really help in solving the puzzle.
Fixed an issue where, after the player gets caught, the ghost girl would not properly hide the player's items or would leave them non-interactable indefinitely. Now, the ghost girl correctly hides the items.
Removed the "Examine Object" UI from the screen if the player is lost and returns to the lobby
Fixed a bug where player voice chat would not revert to open mode upon returning to the lobby from a session (if mic toggle mode was enabled)
