We are part of the Steam Summer Festival!


Dear Adventurers,

Happy times for us, we are part of the Steam Summer Festival! Which means our demo has been selected and highlighted, and you might come across this game without expecting to (and that does tie-in with the name of the game, ha! Someone please stop me from making more bad jokes).

This demo is an updated version of the first one, with bug fixes as well as typos, and more day/time differences. You will be able to play chapters 1, 2 and 4, giving you the very basics of the game as well as a longer chapter to really sink your teeth into the game, and play with a few cool puzzles!

Good news, everyone! 

We have prepared the seventh chapter for you. In which we attempt to restore what was broken millennia ago. We hope you enjoy it!

There's only one Chapter left and release will be ready!

Today we're showcasing a snapshot of a new gameplay feature that appears in chapter 5 and beyond! This footage was recorded with the in-engine camera to show you a different angle of map. 

This canon will attack you as soon as you enter its area of effect, so you can't do anything in that corner until you've dealt with it, and for that you need a solder to throw a bomb at it (and you also have to find said bomb!), before you can get your workers in the area safely!

Hi everyone!

After a fairly long break, we decided to refresh the page of our game. For example, screenshots have become much more attractive, do you agree? In the near future, there will be other great news about our game.


Stay tuned, it will be interesting!

Developer

Hello everybody! As you may know, The Unexpected Guest has already been released in Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1307670/The_Unexpected_Quest/ and on the Nintendo Switch console: https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/the-unexpected-quest-switch/


We were happy to receive so much positive feedback, it's very inspiring! For negative reviews, we are no less grateful, they allow us to make the game better - which is what we are currently doing.

We just updated the demo version of the game, now it contains the first 4 chapters.

So, we are in a hurry to share our plans. In the near future, we will release the full version of the game, which contains all 8 levels with a total duration of 5-10 hours of play. After a while, we will delight Apple fans and release a version of the game for Mac OS. And currently, testing of the first free DLC is in full swing - and you will also see it here. We wish you all good health and success. Thank you for being with us!

Hello everyone!

Good news for those of you who are interested in having a 32-bit version of the game for x86 systems. We have made a special build for you, which, by the way, is not in the Steam.

We hope you will enjoy it! If you have any feedback on the game (whether positive or negative), we will be very happy to hear it!
