- 36 Years Since the Death of Viktor Tsoi - 15 August 2026
On August 15, 1990, Viktor Tsoi — musician and frontman of the legendary Soviet rock band Kino — died in a car accident. He was only 28 years old. Thirty-six years have passed since then, yet his songs remain as relevant as ever, and Kino's music continues to win over new generations of fans. Every year on this day, concerts and festivals are held across the country in his memory, a reminder that Tsoi lives on as long as his songs are sung."Death is worth living for, and love is worth waiting for" — these lines became one of the defining mottos for generations of Russian rock fans.We deeply value Tsoi's legacy and his immeasurable impact on people's lives. In tribute, we added a wall dedicated to Viktor Tsoi to our game, which you can see on the cover image of this post.
- Update №2 is available! - 18 March 2025
Greetings, Doomers! We’re hard at work on the next update, but in the meantime, we’d like to present the latest patch—our second major update—bringing the game closer to its full release. This update is largely based on our previously published Developer Diary. Full Patch Notes: Day progression and save system added. Content unlock logic has been adjusted for more variety. Some locations that were always accessible before now open gradually. For example, the garage becomes available on the third day. Short cutscenes added to play between days. Dynamic lighting implemented, allowing for visible day-night transitions. You can see the lights turning on now in nearby houses when the night comes. Making the neighborhood more atmospheric. You can now interact with the environment while holding an item in your hands(e.g., opening windows and doors). More ambient and object sounds added. Bottle…
- Doomer - developer diary № 2 - 2 December 2024
Greetings, Doomer community! A new month is upon us, which means it's time to tell you what we've been working on since the release of our recent content update. We are working on a new patch that will add some interesting new features, take the first steps towards a meaningful gameplay loop, and create a more atmospheric experience. So, without further ado, let's get going: Bug fixes and collision improvements After carefully analyzing your feedback, we fixed the bugs you reported to us, as well as those we found ourselves. As a result of improving the object collisions, the character's interaction with the environment has been improved. We minimized the number of random stucks, as well as fixed various other bugs, not working achievements, and minor issues. Day / night cycle and progress saving Creating a clear game cycle begins with this step. There is now the ability to save game pr…
- Developer Diary: Re-launching Doomer - 4 October 2024
Greetings, everyone! Doomers Team is back and today, we'd like to share how we breathed new life into the Doomer game and what motivated us to take this step. In recent weeks, we released a major update that marks the beginning of a long journey and ongoing development of the game, which has already become something personal to us. First acquaintance with the project. Our team got acquainted with Doomer already after its release. The game had a huge potential and interest from the Doomer community, but, unfortunately, it did not gain the popularity it deserved and was not evolving. The project piqued our cautious interest at first, but as each game session passed, we began to see its true potential. We found Doomer to be more than just a game - it was an opportunity to escape to a place where we felt safe and comfortable. A kind of escapism. We were reinforced in this sentiment even mor…

- Content update №1 is available! Changelog post. - 23 September 2024
Greetings from the Doomer development team! We apologize for the long absence of any news and game updates since the announcement of our roadmap. As is often the case, everything that could go wrong went wrong. As we built all the processes and implemented what we promised, it took more time than expected. Now that the time has come, we are pleased to present you with the first content update, which is quite significant in scope, but represents only a small part of what's planned. Let's talk about future plans before we get into the details of the update. From now on, we'll release updates more frequently. We can't reveal the content or dates yet, but there won't be such long breaks between updates anymore. In the next step, we'll rework the technical foundation of the game, optimize everything that's "under the hood", and then start developing game mechanics. And yes, you read that rig…

- Doomer EA Roadmap. 2024-2025 - 2 November 2023
Hello fellow fans of nostalgia and the Doomer subculture! While it took longer than expected, we are now getting back to you with a Doomer development plan. Let us begin by saying that the game is being designed and developed by people who are passionate about the direction of the project, professionals as well as nostalgic gamers from the 90s and 2000s. They are fans of everything we experienced at the turn of the century. It's a real treat to work on this game, to recreate this world with its rules, mechanics, environment, and artifacts, while bringing our own thoughts and experiences. We'll continue to push this project forward. Taking place in 1999-2000s, our main goal is to recreate the atmosphere, add authentic items, reflect the mood, music, and urban legends of the time. A major focus of the game will be the exploration and interaction of the player with the environment, as well…

- Update EA 0.0.1.0 - 2 July 2023
The inventory functionality for the main character has been added! Instead of a simple bottle counter, there is now an inventory where items can be stored. This is a step towards expanding the variety of items in the game. Beer bottles have been added in addition to regular bottles. Now you can drink beer. This not only expands the variety of items in the game but also represents a small but important step towards the character's dependency system. Resting animations have been added, including the character's breathing and swaying while walking. Interactive refrigerators have also been included. Water has been added to the toilet, and now you can turn on the water in the bathtub. Lighting has been implemented in the apartment as well, allowing you to turn it on and off in different rooms. The pull-up animation on the horizontal bar has been fixed, and the animation for relieving oneself…

The distribution of Steam keys is being delayed for unknown reasons. We apologize for this, as Steam is usually much more prompt with them. We are moving and optimizing our work environment. This is necessary to establish normal collective work and avoid exponential growth of hacks and bugs in the project. Adding item selection and inventory features. This is part of the upcoming patch (scheduled for July 1st) that will add the first opportunity to make money in the game. The ability to spend money will be in the second patch scheduled for July 14th. We are working in crunch mode with great enthusiasm, but sooner or later it will take its toll. We understand this and will try to maintain some sort of work hygiene. We closely monitor articles, reviews, and your feedback, and of course, take note of them. Some of them spark interesting debates within our team. Thank you for your attention…
