- Season 2 Demo is out + Release Date! - 8 May 2026
Hey everyone, I just hit the button, and the official demo for With Eyes Closed - Season 2 is now live on Steam. This demo features Chapter 6. It should give you a good feel for where the plot is heading and what everyone has been up to in the Boiler. Just a quick heads-up before you play: importing your saves from Season 1 is not implemented in this demo, so it just runs on a default set of choices. Don't worry though, the save transfer system will be included in the final version of the game. All your specific relationship progress and decisions will carry over perfectly when the full release comes out. Speaking of the final release, we officially have a date. The full version of Season 2 is launching on July 17. If you have a second, please consider wishlisting the game on the Season 2 page. It genuinely helps me out a lot as a solo dev, and it guarantees you won't miss the launch. T…

- **Season 2 ch. 7 Development Update** - 16 January 2025
Hey everyone, I'm excited to share some behind-the-scenes insights into the development of the 7th chapter of **With Eyes Closed**! This time around, I decided to start with the animations to keep my graphics cards busy rendering 24/7. It's been a fun and rewarding process, and I can definitely see a big leap in quality. Looking back at animations from earlier chapters, like the third or fourth, I initially thought about reusing some by tweaking them a bit. But honestly, they just don't match up to what I can do now! I've realized how important those small details are in bringing animations to life. So far, I've nearly wrapped up one of the two intimate scenes in the next chapter. The first one, with Eva, is quite impressive—it includes a whopping 16 animations! Out of those, 14 are all prepped and ready for rendering, and the last two will be good to go in the next few days. Most of th…

This chapter delves into two narrative threads based on your choices from the first season, with one path focusing on a romantic relationship with Eva and another alternative storyline involving Luna.

My aim is to ensure that every scene resonates with you, both visually and emotionally. https://i.ibb.co/XsH4m7Q/58-63.jpg…
- **Update: Decision on Voice Acting for With Eyes Closed** - 28 December 2024
Hello everyone, Thank you all for your participation and feedback in the recent poll about introducing voice acting for the main female characters in **With Eyes Closed**. After reviewing the results, it's clear that while some of you find voice acting important, the majority feel it’s nice to have but not essential, with many expressing that it doesn't matter much to them. Based on your feedback, I've decided not to pursue voice acting at this time. Instead, I will allocate those resources and efforts toward other areas to enhance the overall game experience. Your suggestions have been invaluable, and I want to ensure that my focus aligns with what matters most to you. Additionally, I've noted the many comments regarding the importance of music within the game. I'll be sure to incorporate your feedback as I move forward.
