• What's changing since the demo - 9 November 2025

  As development progresses I'm finding out that I'm a different person since the game was initially created. As such the way the game is structured is much different from the demo I posted years ago. There's lots of reasons for this, but I will hopefully convey why in this video. Mainly so people don't model their expectations on the now outdated demo. At some point I'll likely take the demo down, but the changes will be reflected in the full game when it releases. Development has been speeding along as I narrow in on what I want the game to be, and so I decided to be more upfront about what state the game is in (without going into too many spoilers). Thanks for waiting.

• Still breathing - 25 October 2023

  Greetings, this is just a "Yes I'm still working on this" pulse update for anyone just stumbling on the demo now or waiting for the full release. Work has been a lot more consistent these days and I'm getting close to creating what the game should be. There was a lot of pivoting from the start but now it's just a matter of pushing towards the finish line, since there's not too much of the game left to figure out. Thought I'd unveil the final cover image (mainly to distinguish from the demo) but also to just further solidify the game's themes and make something that would look good on a shelf somewhere (no idea if physical will happen now but hey just in case). I want to thank everyone who have been anticipating the game (and for being patient), it shouldn't be too long before I get to the end. Stay breathing!

• Heading into 2023 - 16 December 2022

  Hey so it's pretty obvious that the game is not coming out in 2022, sorry about that. I work full time at a mobile game studio and the machine that BREATHES is essentially done in my spare time. However I have been making slow but steady progress and have decided to bring on help to address the amount of coding that still needs to be done. I am just one person so I think it'll help realign for me to explain to someone else what actually needs to get done and who should work on what. I'll have this person available for a few months, so my goal is to use this as motivation to push through and get the game over the finish line. This update is really just passing the "Yes I'm still alive and working on this project" check. As for when the game will be done, the official word is SOON. I just don't know yet and don't want to over promise and under deliver. I've seen a lot of games lately that…

• Development Roadmap - 25 June 2022

  So it's been quite a few months since the demo release. I've gotten a lot of feedback and contact with collaborators to help with translation work! But... what has been done since then? Well I recently recovered from being hit with Covid and got a new full time job at a mobile game studio and a host of other things (moving to a suitable place that doesn't cost a fortune). So progress has been spotty here and there but I've finally got things back on track to be consistently working on the game with a set of goals. There's also an official website! Mostly a retread of the steam page summary but a way for streamers/press to get a hold of key art I have outsourced to inject a little much needed promotional variety. Without spoiling too much the full planned game has 4 areas 4 bosses and a sort of endgame area and final boss. An "area" is typically double the size of the current playable de…

• Japanese and Simplified Chinese added to the demo - 6 April 2022

  We have added Japanese and Simplified Chinese to the current demo, courtesy of Pulse Translation and Echoriver Translators. The demo will still be available until after awhile but these will likely be the last two languages added and are confirmed for the full game. Next update I'll cover how production is going leading up to release.

• Demo now translated into Spanish and Italian! - 20 March 2022

  the machine that BREATHES demo is now translated into Spanish and Italian! Thanks to the efforts of Ignacio Mardones G. and Domenico Colaprico. The demo is still available til the end of the month so any feedback is still welcome. Thank you.

• Brazilian Portuguese added to the demo + demo extended - 11 March 2022

  Proud to announce that the machine that BREATHES demo now supports Brazilian Portuguese (with the language planned for the full game!) Thanks to the talented efforts of Denilson Oliveira. This is also a reminder that the demo availability has been extended til the end of March. The download numbers are still going strong!

• New Gameplay Trailer - 8 March 2022

  We released a new video showcasing the gameplay elements present in both the demo and the final game! The demo has once again been extended since the game has gotten even more attention from the youtube channel AlphaBetaGamer It will be available til the end of the month or once numbers (finally) die down. There are also new languages planned so stay tuned for more updates on that and more!

• Demo has been extended for one week (until March 8th) - 1 March 2022

  The Steam Next Fest is over but the demo will be playble for the rest of the week as we've been getting a ton of helpful feedback! This is also so that Russian players can get time to try the game for themselves (some localization fixes have been added). Stay tuned for more updates as I'll be updating the news feed more!

• the machine that BREATHES Demo now in Russian - 28 February 2022

  I am pleased to announce that the machine the BREATHES will be localized in Russian. A very talented translator known as Morgen (who did the Fear and Hunger Russian translation) offered his services. Not only that but the current demo also has it implemented to test out localization features. Please let us know how the public demo is in the forum. We'll be able to read/answer in Russian.
