RE:P Alpha v0.0.2.1 Update

We recently just launched the first update for RE:P’s alpha! It includes a new area, a pair of new NPCs, an extra skill/trait addition, and some extra polish updates!

If you’d like to join the alpha and help forge RE:P’s development, you can get a Steam key (valid for both the alpha + final game) by joining us on Patreon. Watch the game as it grows, and contribute to its final path through submitting feedback, joining our design polls, and letting us know what you want to see!

v0.0.2.1 Alpha Features

• Approx 60–90 minutes of gameplay
• ~25% of full game skills/traits
• MC portrait customization (more customizations planned, such as color pickers for hair and eye color)
• 4 locations to explore
• 3 NPCs to chat with

** All content (lighting, animations, music, 3D models, etc.) is a work-in-progress. It is not a complete and accurate representation of the final game.

For those who would rather wait for a more polished, complete version of the game—we’ll still be posting regularly here to keep you updated on our progress! You’re very welcome to join our Discord and participate in the community while waiting, too.

Next Month’s Update

So what’s on the plate for next month? We have a fair amount planned, but here are some major things we’re aiming to get done!

• Save/load system
• First iteration of Hub #1 (Chinatown) with new interior areas
• 2-4 new interactable NPCs (you may have seen some of their character intros on our blog!)
• New dialogue box layout with scrolling history/larger text options
• (Possibly) Quest system implementation

The Hepatica Spring is launching soon!

If you haven’t seen it yet, our side visual novel The Hepatica Spring is preparing for release! It should be available on Windows/Mac within the next 1-2 weeks, and on Google Play shortly afterwards.

It’s a Nordic fairytale inspired, lightly Disney flavored game with 3 platonic/romantic routes! If you’re looking for something fluffy, fun, and with the cutest drog (dragon-dog) in the world, please check it out and add it to your Steam wishlist! It helps our visibility immensely. <3
