Hi there wonderful people! We've released a patch that fixes a plethora of bugs. Here's a rundown of what this patch fixes:

• Made some minor changes in Chapter: Rakan.
• Made some minor changes of key items locations.

• Fixed a bug that caused some subtitles to be displayed in english in all languages.
• Fixed a bug that caused the compass to spam the player with its respawn notice.
• Fixed a bug that could prevent progress in Chapter: Rakan, if the player didn't drop the flashlight after getting attacked by the tar monster in the psychiatric ward.
• Removed the cross blocking the door in Chapter: Dolores. It could block the door in some rare circumstances.
• Fixed some visual bugs.

If you encounter other issues, be sure to report them through the Steam forum or official Discord, and we'll fix them as soon as we can. <3.

Hi there! We've released a new patch that fixes the following softlocks that could prevent progress. If this happened to you, simply load your game and it should be fixed.

• All dynamic items that can respawn will now properly respawn in the storage room.
• It is no longer possible to pick up a beer box in the grocery store that cannot be dropped.
• In Chapter: Dolores, the door leading to Dolores' room will be properly unlocked and can no longer prevent progress.
• Fixed a rare bug where the player would fall under the floor after the scene started by picking the mask piece next to the white bird.

If you encounter other issues, be sure to report them through the Steam forum or official Discord, and we'll fix them as soon as we can. <3.

Hi there! We just wanted to let everyone know that we'll be working on fixing MAJOR bugs reported by the community ASAP. Here's the small list of the ones we've got in sight at the moment: - Some dynamic items required for progress can disappear forever (sledge hammer, compass) - The door in chapter: Dolores to Dolores' room can be locked forever - Grabbing the beers in the grocery store too fast can cause a bug where you cannot drop them again, and this impedes progress (loading the last auto-save will fix this one easily though) Note that hardware-specific bugs take a long time to fix, we're looking into them, but we have no ETA. We will always be looking for other major bugs, the list above is not final. Thanks a ton for your support you wonderful people!

Hi there! A major bug preventing progress in Lucy's chapter was rapidly discovered and reported by the community. Fixed: - A collision problem in the secret sewer-like room under the carpet in Lucy's chapter prevented progress in the chapter. Thank you for quickly reporting the issue.

Visage is now leaving Early Access!

As of now, the game will be updated to Full Release. If the game doesn't update automatically, make sure to restart Steam. To make sure that you are on the correct version, go to the Main Menu and look for the version number to the bottom right, and make sure it's "3.0". THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: if you start a game on version 2.2, it will be DELETED once it is updated to 3.0.

Two New Chapters

The full game now contains four chapters, making for a total of 15+ hours of gameplay!

New Achievements

To reflect the change to the full version, 10+ new achievements have been added, for a total of 27 achievements!

Save files

Because there have been MAJOR changes since the last update in Early Access, we are forced to delete the Early Access save files, as they will be corrupted and no longer usable.

Enjoy the spooks!

We wish you a wonderful Halloween, filled with horror, gore, and torment, but do remember to play safe!

The wait is finally over!

Hi there wonderful people! Our most sincere apologies for the radio silence over the past months. Our focus was entirely targeted on finishing the game, and that we did!

AND THERE IT IS!

The wait is finally over! The full release is coming on October 30th on Steam, just in time for Halloween!

Early Access vs Full Release

The Early Access currently available on Steam contains two chapters, for a total of approximately 8 hours of gameplay. The full release will contain four chapters, for a total of approximately 15 hours, doubling its content.

Price update

The Early Access was an opportunity to support development of the game, and since it did not contain all the content of the full release, we did not want to charge full price. Now that the full release is coming, the price will be updated to full price. *If you already own the Early Access, the full release will come to you freely as an update on release. On the 28th of October, the base price will be updated from 24.99USD to 34.99USD. This might be slightly different depending on your currency.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Save files

The game has changed quite a bit since the last Early Access update, and unfortunately, as mentioned in the Early Access description on Steam, we have no choice but to remove save files coming from the Early Access. If you have saved files, they will be deleted on release (October 30th).

Release Announcement Trailer

Hi there, beautiful people! Hope y'all having a great day! Many of you have been asking to see some more "meaty" news, and for good reasons, so we thought today would be a good time to do that, since we've got some bigger news. The Big News The big thing is that we've now got extra hands that'll help us on porting the game on consoles! We are super thrilled to have partnered up with a very talented team that will give us a well needed boost in our productivity, so you guys can enjoy the game as soon as possible. Release date The ultimate question that still remains to be answered! We will be releasing on all platforms simultaneously (PC/Xbox One/PS4), and we're currently aiming for a release somewhere around summer 2020! We will give you the exact date as soon as we are all set with every certification process and what not. Performance Our last efforts went on the general optimization of the game on many aspects. We’ve managed to cut down the amount of polygons by almost half without affecting the overall integrity of our assets. We went a bit overboard on our visual presentation to a degree were it can affect the performance without giving you any additional candies for the eyes, so we decided to take care of this aspect. Ultimately, more players will be able to enjoy the game without the necessity of having a monster computer. Engine Upgrade As part of our optimizations, we also needed to upgrade our engine’s version to 4.24. What does that mean for us? Well some of our work get messed up in the process of migration, so we need to do a complete QA of everything in the game to make sure nothing is broken or behave in an unattended way. Unfortunately, this takes some time out of our planning and this is not something we can mitigate. You can rest assured, we’ve already managed to fix pretty much everything. The state of Visage The main content of Visage is pretty much done. What remains to be done is a moderate amount of sounds integration and all that pesky bug fighting and QA. The bigger part of the development is still to be done on consoles. We have to make sure the game is running smoothly on both platforms without sacrificing too much of the visual aspect. New stuff Oh *hell* yeah! We surely have done other things other than bug fixing. Here's a sneak peak of the new stuff we've been working on! The images contain some amount of spoiler, so if you want to avoid that, we suggest that you don't look at them, but hey... Who would be able to resist the temptation ;) Here goes! Thanks for your enthusiasm and tremendous patience about our game! We're trying to make it the best it can be! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33665657/79830774937f67fcb4af3ba527f07d2b9d73a4c9.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33665657/4adf4b49d14be2b1d4b9bb59e8869cc7b313f3dc.jpg {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33665657/c2f43df9a46328b7ff9beea91a4b480f500980d2.jpg

• New changes that should prevent rare crashes when finishing Chapter: Dolores
• It should no longer be possible for A.I. to dissapear during kill sequence, placing players in a bugged state

NOTE: If you are having trouble with invisible frames during the frames puzzle, you will unfortunately need to load an earlier saved game. A wonderful day to all of you!

No more content will be made available in the Early Access (except fixes and gameplay changes). We'll be releasing more information about development, rewards, and all that good stuff next week.

Happy April Fools' Day Estimated release date: Before the end of time (maybe).

Hi there wonderful people! Today we're releasing the moderately big update V1.4. It does NOT contain NEW CONTENT, and is focusing on fixing the vast majority of bugs we've corrected over the last month, and adjust some stability issues.

Notable changes

• All items interaction bugs should be fixed
• All languages should display correctly all around the application
• All (or most) collision bugs should be fixed
• Saved states should be a lot more stable

So basically, everything concerning the currently available chapter should be fixed. If you are still experiencing issues, we recommend that you start a new game, and that you report the issue in the forums or on our official Discord server (discord.gg/visage)

Why is it taking this long to release the next chapter?

We'll keep this one short and concise and release a full development update soon. We knew when we released the Early Access that the upcoming chapter would be the most time consuming chapter, but our anticipations were still lackey. Development-wise, the next chapter is incredibly more challenging on a technical level, and bugs kept on piling up. We are close to what we believe is a polished version on both technical level and gameplay level, but there's still some work to be done.

What's left to do, you ask?

- Bug fixing, of course - Many players have been praising the game's sound design, and we believe there's some work to be done still in the upcoming chapter to meet the expectations - Finish some non-story content (achievements, collectibles, and such)

When should we expect the next chapter?

Once again, we apologize for our vagueness. It should be coming soon ;). A wonderful week to all of you!

Hi there horror fans, Today we're releasing a very small hotfix that fixes the following major bug: Major Bug - Korean language displays incorrectly and is un-readable Since this patch was not planned, we're taking this chance to integrate a small change with the controls that we think many people will enjoy. Control changes - The drawer will now open/close automatically with a single click This change with control will be customizable in the next update. We just wanted to put it out there, so we could gather some feedback on it. Many players have been complaining with how slow drawers open or close, and it quickly became a drag to search in them, making players discouraged to actually find items in them (especially in the cage room). We will also do the same with doors (also in the next update). Some players with low DPI have reported the doors opening very slowly, so a single-click door control will also be available. Let us know if you like the simpler controls for the drawers, and make sure to voice your thoughts on what should be changed/added to the game. We're deep into the next chapter, and it should be coming quite soon in Early Access ;). A wonderful day to all of you!

Hi there horror fans, It's been a while, but here we are with some news!

More languages

The game now supports five additional languages so that all horror lovers can enjoy the game at its fullest:

• German (highly requested)
• Turkish (also highly requested)
• Korean
• Japanese
• Chinese Simplified

Note about the early access and the Next Chapter

As most of you have probably already realized, the "at least four months" Early Access period is very near. Unfortunately, we were a bit too ambitious with this estimate. We've been wrong and wrong again with our estimates, and we'll probably be wrong again, so expect us to be. With that said, and take this with a grain of salt, we expect the next chapter to be coming in early February, and the full game to release somewhere in Q2 2019.

Ending note

As always, we thank everyone who has been actively supporting us by providing very important feedback on the Steam forums, the Discord server, or via e-mail. We'd also like to shout out a special thanks to our mods on the Discord server for giving us a helping hand on spreading the word, and keeping everything under control in the server! Send them a little word if you happen to be in the Discord server, they're always poking around! A wonderful day to all of you!

Hi there folks from all around the world!

New languages

Today we're happy to announce that Visage Early Access is now available in 9 additional languages. You'll easily see if your language is now supported, by checking the Steam Store Page. We plan to support more languages in the near future. If your language is not supported yet, let us know through our social medias or in the comments section, so that we can get notified about your interest in having the game translated in your language.

Patch note

With patch 1.3, we have resolved quite a few bugs revolving around the newly joined inventory systems, and since we've received a lot of requests about controls rebinding, we have added the option to re-bind all keys with the keyboard and mouse control scheme. We've also fixed bugs associated with video settings, and extended the available video settings options. The cool stuff - Fully Re-bindable controls scheme for keyboard and mouse - New languages support - More video settings options. The game should run smoother on low-end gaming systems, and look better on high-end gaming systems. Notable bug fixes - Fixed most of the bugs associated with the joined inventory systems - Fixed a bug where players were completely unable to use mouse clicks, and had to reload to fix the problem - Fixed a bug where "Texture quality" was not applied when saving video settings - Fixed a bug where "Anti-aliasing quality" was not applied when saving video settings

Save games

Unfortunately, if the game was updated from 1.002 (which is unlikely), your saved games will no longer be available. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Official Discord Server launch

We've launched an Official Discord Server, so you can chill with the Visage community, and help with the Early Access Development! Come say hello at https://discord.gg/visage. We're always lurking around and reading what you guys have to say about the game ;).

What's to come?

The following languages should be available in early December:

• German
• Turkish
• Chinese Simplified
• Korean
• Japanese

We will always be actively fixing bugs and adding requested features, but our main focus is still on making the next chapter available. Look forward to that, and we wish everyone a wonderful week!

Happy Halloween everyone! It took us a little while, but we've finally come with a new control scheme! It's a lot more intuitive and fluid. We invite you to revisit the game and test out the new control scheme and let us know what you think about the new gameplay!

Patch Notes

We've released Patch version 1.2, and it contains quite a lot of changes, and bug fixes. It addresses the issues with controls, with a complete rehaul of the control scheme, and video settings should now work as expected for everyone. To make sure you have the correct version, look for the version number upon launching the main menu screen, at the bottom right corner of the screen. The cool stuff

• Complete rework of the controls. Take note that you'll need to hold "Use" to use a dynamic item from now on.
• We simplified everything, and from now on, most actions are on mouse clicks (on PC).
• Dynamic and Key inventories are now joined together.
• You can now interact with both hands, meaning you won't have to switch hands to interact with your right hand only.
• Candles will automatically be placed on sockets when available.

Notable bug fixes

• Cages room key will now always spawn correctly.
• All video settings should work as expected.
• Most bugs with candles being on socket have been resolved.
• Fixed bugs associated with AI in the house.
• Saving game being unavailable when loading a saved game. Note that you might need to progress a bit before you can save again on Patch 1.2.

Save games

Unfortunately, if the game was updated from 1.002 (which is unlikely), your saved games will no longer be available. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Known issues we're looking into

• A very rare bug causing mouse input to be unavailable.
• The game can cause high CPU usage on AMD processors.
• A lot of specific game bugs reported in the Bug report discussions.

What to come?

The game will support new languages. Here's a list of some of these new languages we aim to support very soon:

• French
• Spanish
• German
• Dutch
• Greek
• Italian
• Russian
• Portuguese
• Swedish

We will always be actively fixing bugs and adding requested features, but our main focus this month will be to bring the next chapter in Early Access. You can look forward to that!

Hello beautiful people from around the world!

Patch Notes

We've release Patch version 1.1, and it contains various changes, fixes, and balancing with the sanity system, and a small re-work of the candles mechanics. To make sure you have the correct version, look for the version number upon launching the main menu screen, at the bottom right corner of the screen. Let's start with the cool stuff:

• We have added sockets throughout the house in key places where candles can be easily placed and managed.
• "Sanity dangerously low" message now clearly explains that only pills will keep you sane at this point.
• The brain fog HUD icon is now RED, and will help the player determine faster and easier that he should find ways to fix his sanity.
• Candles tips are much clearer, and all gameplay mechanics associated to them are properly described.
• Collected Matryoshka doll are now displayed on the second floor balcony.

And now the general Gameplay improvements and "ease of life" changes:

• Crashes - Fixed all reported crashes associated with gameplay elements (notably after picking the safe key)
• Bugs - It is no longer possible to lose key items (notably the safe key) due to auto saves.
• HUD - You can now properly click on Accept, and Decline, instead of having to press "E" or "F"
• HUD - Escape is now a valid navigation key.
• Controls - Inverted Y has been added in the controls options menu
• Video - Sharpen AA has been added in the video options menu
• Gameplay - Car door key now properly display "Unavailable in Early Access"

We hope some of these fixes will help everyone get through unnecessary difficulties, and we will keep on reading your comments and feedback in order to improve your experience.

Save games

Unfortunately, if the game was updated from 1.002, your saved games will no longer be available. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Known issues that will be fixed in V1.101 (estimated Oct. 10th)

• We are currently looking into fixing all RESOLUTION problems.
• We are looking for ways to make "Dynamic Inventory" interactions more fluid and intuitive.
• Fixes for the cages room key being stuck in a drawer.
• A lot of specific game bugs reported in the Bug report discussions.

Hello to all of you wonderful people! We are overwhelmed by the absolutely positive reception of the game, so here's a thank you to everyone who supports us, and everyone who's tagging along on the journey! With that said, here's the patch notes for version 1.004. It contains minor fixes that improves "general quality" of the HUD, and Dynamic Inventory system. Since it's our first official Public Patch, we wanted to keep things simple.

• Tips for Candles is now much clearer. Candles remain the same, but it's much clearer as to what players should do with it: "Candles are stationary lights that can be lit with a lighter. Moving around with a candle will cause it to extinguish. They last a long time, and act as light sources that help increase your character's sanity."
• We have removed the multiple pills effect to a single and simpler one. Taking pills will now only quickly increase a small amount of sanity. This will prevent players with dangerously low sanity from losing sanity faster than the pills' effects.
• Minor collision changes that were obstructing dynamic items.
• Trying to store a "Dynamic Item" when your inventory is full now correctly tells you that your inventory is full.
• We have added minor hints throughout the chapter to make the experience a little more "progressive".
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to save the game while examining static objects, and could cause the item to be unavailable on load.
• Various minor changes.

We are aware of the general consensus that the inventory is "wonky" at first. It was designed to be somewhat complex, to add a small layer of difficulty managing the Sanity. We have some ideas about introducing a game difficulty option. Also, we acknowledge that some people get frustrated with candles and lighter. We hope the Tip clarification will help. At the moment, we've decided to make only minor changes to the inventory. We will keep on reading your comments and feedback, and we'll see about what changes need to be made. If you have suggestions, or wish to report a bug, please check the Steam Community Discussions!

The Early Access is now available for purchase! Plug your headphones, turn off the lights, get comfortable, and don't get a good night's sleep ;). We can't wait to read your comments and feedback!
