- Corpse of Discovery Reduced Price! - 20 November 2015
Some experiences are polarizing, and we're OK with that.

- IMPORTANT NOTES - 28 August 2015
- THIS GAME ISN'T FOR EVERYONE. It is a "walking simulator", with an occasional jetpack and deadly obstacles. It also gets pretty strange and introspective. If this all sounds like it isn't the game for you, then it probably won't be. - We are very sorry some of you are having performance issues! We haven't seen this in our testing, so we are trying to figure out the discrepancies. As soon as we do, we will release a patch, alongside other bug fixes! - There are different ways to interpret the ending of the game, and while not everyone will like the ending (just like most movies, opinions will differ), it's exactly what we were going for. If you feel unhappy and that you didn't know what kind of game you were getting into, please do ask Steam for a refund, we don't want anyone to be disappointed with their purchase!

- Corpse of Discovery launches with a disturbing new trailer - 27 August 2015
Corpse of Discovery was announced in July with an intriguing premise and a strangely creepy teaser. It's a loose sci-fi twist on the Corps of Discovery that existed briefly in the early 1800s, but instead of sending intrepid explorers into the American West, it sends them into deep space. The developer, Phosphor Games, didn't reveal a release date but said in the announcement that it was "coming soon," and they weren't kidding, because it's out now. The launch trailer is similar to the teaser but reveals a little more about some of the pressures you'll face as a deep-space explorer torn between supporting his family and returning to them. And of course, what was supposed to be a routine job turns out to be anything but. "You wake up on a base in a new, unexplored planet. Your landing craft is torn to pieces and your gear is scattered," the Steam description states. "Why are you here? Wh…
