Now and then I go back to the big long list of games that was inluded in the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality and come across a gem. This time it's Code 7, a really engrossing hacking adventure.

- Aftermath of 2020 - 11 January 2021
Hi, hackers, hi, friends, hi, fans, What's happening? When is episode 4 coming out? IS THE GAME DEAD?! Valid questions! Yes! We hear them a lot. And the answer is: NO. The game is NOT dead! It is complicated, though. First of all, we'd like to apologize for the long radio silence. 2020 has taken its toll on us, like for many others, and also on the development of Episode 4: Permutation. So let's start with the development of episode 4 is currently put on hold and will continue in March 2021. I will explain why in the following. Code 7 has been an ongoing project for us since 2015. That's five years. That's a long time. We have gotten to a point of creative fatigue that made it harder and harder to work productively on it and with having a grand finale with multiple storylines, it was difficult not to think that it wasn't good enough. We kept pushing, because we wanted to finish the stor…

- Muffin Challenge "Party Heist" Released - 20 November 2019
To make waiting for episode 4 a little easier, we released the Party Heist bonus chapter as a free update for Code 7, featuring a short story-line with 4 difficult muffin levels.

- Important Reminder regarding the Season Pass - 13 April 2019
We'd like to remind everyone that you don't have to buy the Season Pass if you have bought the game before its release! If you have bought the full game, you own the full game. The new episodes will just download as an update. There seems to be a little bit of confusion and we apologize. The season pass is meant for those who have only purchased episode 1, which is now possible. Unfortunately, we cannot take out the option to buy the season pass for people who have the full game. This is handled by the store.
- Episode 2 & 3 out NOW! - 12 April 2019
Hey, everyone! Thank you for all your patience, we really appreciate it. Episode 2: Memory and Episode 3: Backdoor are now available on Steam. If you already own the game, you just have to download an update to get access to the new episodes! German and Accessible versions are included as well. A new Twitch-Mode is available that lets viewers choose dialogue options and commands, which will be displayed in the streamer's game. This way you can experience it together!

- Price Changes and Upcoming Release - 27 March 2019
Hello, everyone! Over night (German time), there was a little store hiccup and we apologize. It showed that the game would cost $5.99 which was incorrect and is now corrected. Steam support unfortunately launched our new pricing model before it was even prepared, this was not done by us. The price of $5.99 (4.99€) is only for Episode 1 and the remaining episodes will be available for $19.99 (16,79€). If you have bought the game for the lower price, you will only get Episode 1 but you can still upgrade to the full season. If you don't accept that pricing model, because of misinformation during that time, we'd encourage a refund. Episode 2 and 3 will be released on April 12th, we will increase the price a couple of days prior to that. Buying episode 1 and the season pass (2-4) separately will cost $25.98. If you buy the bundle it will be at a reduced price. Note that if you have already p…
- Transmission #29: Double Release - 11 December 2018
Hello there, hackers! You've been probably wondering what we've been up to and how's the project going, right? Ususally, it's a good sign when you don't hear from us... it means we're deep in the development tunnel, which we were! You've been waiting a long time and we need you to be patient a little bit longer, but... you'll get TWO NEW EPISODES in Q1 2019! The reason why it's taking so long is that the Episode 2: Memory and Episode 3: Backdoor are very intertwined, both in story and gameplay. There were many things that we shifted between episodes to make a better experience out of it. So by the time we entered testing phase for Ep 2, we already had so much stuff for Episode 3 done, that we decided it makes more sense to launch both of them together. For us this makes also more sense from a financial standpoint, since we can record the voices in one go. That means we'll be delivering…

- Facing Episode 2 - 20 June 2018
Hey there, hackers! It's time for another update. We try to keep you updated on a regular basis but the further we dive into the episode's development the less spoiler-free content we have to share. We still try our best to give you tidbits of news now and then! Story Progress (Spoiler-free) The last couple of weeks we have been finalizing and tweaking the story for episode 2. We want it to be exciting, dramatic and suspenseful but also tying into the previous narrative. Even though we know what we want from each episode's story, there are so many fine nuances of how to get there. What are the character's desires? Their fears? How does everything play together? How does Episode 2 develop its own story while still feeding into the main story? At this state, we're very happy with the story of Bear and Raven and we hope you will be, too! We have started to think about the key art and Paul…

- The Cost of Blood Magic (aka CRUNCHING!!1) - 7 February 2018
Hello and belated happy new year everybody! Time flies, doesn't it? We want to take the time to talk about the last months and what was / is going on with development. Let's start with some solid info: Episode 2 is delayed and will most likely not launch before August 2018. Now let us talk about why. We've been working on the game for almost two years now, full-time and with a lot of dedication. Since the Kickstarter campaign, we pushed ourselves even more. We wanted to make a great game and we wanted to make you, our players, and of course all future players, happy. The last months before launch we worked a lot, like A LOT. 7 days a week, 90 hours a week. If you don't know, this is called crunching. It is the worst thing you can do to yourself, a game or a studio but still a lot of developers believe this is necessary to achieve a good game. But it's wrong. It's working on borrowed tim…
