Hey!

Unfortuantely, yes. The development completely frozen. There is no plans to continue it in near future. Me and some other Lost Story devs (aka Rock Path Collective) currently're working on unannounced Source Engine based game project in different company. I currently cannot name the game project due NDA.

Rock Path Collective also no longer works on any new game projects at this time.

- Vladimir.

Hey, dibdob1!

The development was frozen in late 2019. I sometimes doing small bunch of changes related to game code, engine code & level design, but I cannot say that the development in active phase. And its only in free time ofc.

The team still doing games but more bit more small scalled than this project. We also doing outsource work for foreign game projects that are under NDA at this moment. I still didn't find the time to make properly done translation of latest news related to the Lost Story from RU to EN which I've posted in 2020-2022 as postmortem for project. But you may check them with automatic translator on official VK (russian social network) game group: https://vk.com/hl2loststory 

The itch.io page is mostly for showcasing. So please be known that it probably never will not be released any time in future.

- Vladimir.

It was possible in past. The game was greenlit in late 2012 and we got permission to do the commercial game in late 2013.

Hello, the game doesn't include the Steam key. Cuz the game not published on it's store and there is no plans to do it in near future.

Hello, no. It includes latest DRM-Free version of the game.

Cool improvements, thx :)

Is it a game?

It probably will be a standalone game when it will be ready for release. And will be available on Steam.

When development started?

The development started in 2012. It was a single-player fan-made mod project for Half-Life 2: Episode Two. During its development the project become the standalone game but currently its in slow-development stage. We had lot of organizing troubles in 2016 & 2019 that currently doesn't allow us to work on the game full-time. But we believe that one day the game will be finished and released.

Is this game about Seven Hour War?

No. This game only about events after the 7hw and before the events of Half-Life Alyx.

Why did you create itchio page?

To allow community to support us by using the donation system and track the progress we have decided to create the itchio game page. Here you could ask us about the game development, track the progress and receive information about new media. We thought to move on Patreon, but currently we are not sure that it's a good idea to do.

When will it be done?

At this time we not ready to announce a release date. Cuz we don't know how long development could take. Fell free to trak our progress on itch.io, indiedb, vk, facebook and youtube.

The DRM-FREE version was just updated. Have fun ;-)

We also support Android version that you could get on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.RockPathCollective.SnakEscape1

Just sent you an e-mail.

We've uploaded DRM-Free version to itch.io
Have fun! :)

Unfortunately we don't support Android version at this time and don't make new builds for it. So that's why it's free. But we plan back to this platform in future.

Game is only reques installed Steam. It's only one DRM tech that we use, because game uses Steam API (achievments, stats, cloud & workshop). You don't need broadband internet connection or something else. :)
