And now for something completely different...: The writer and lead VO actor of Narcosis are set to spin-up an all-new, narrative-driven story set in a deceptively utopian future: AI Confidential.
Watch the trailer here, then read on for more info!
Artificial Intelligence, Real Problems.
You are Makenzy Turner, an affable RoboTechnician employed by AI megacorp, Indelligent Solutions.
With your trusty assistant ARI, use high-tech tools and old-fashioned empathy to mend everything from broken parts to broken hearts.
Like Narcosis, AIC will feature an intricately-crafted narrative and top-notch VO performances... and may make you a little misty-eyed...
...Unlike Narcosis, the game features a cast of quirky, lovable characters to get to know (and - possibly - pull their plugs), a sprawling narrative packed with tough subjective choices and subversive humor, and... a unique and intuitive emoji-based conversation system.
If this tickles your fancy, we hope you'll follow, like or wishlist and come along for the ride - we're still in the early stages (demo coming... soon!), but for now the future looks pretty damn bright...

Pressure Rising, Price Drop: Narcosis now only $15 (U.S.)
Narcosis made its Steam debut a little over two years ago, and while the game continues to be purchased, played and streamed every day, we're eager to get it in the hands of even more players. With that in mind, we've permanently lowered the price from $19.99 (U.S.) to $14.99, wi

First look at Netflix's Narcos as a video game
Earlier in the year, British publisher Curve Digital announced it was working on a video game version of hit Netflix show Narcos. If you haven't seen it, Narcos is a gritty Colombian cartel drama starring the guy who's head got popped on Game of Thrones. It's good watching, if yo

Greetings, dear divers... Since Narcosis launched (nearly a year ago!) we've received quite a bit of praise, and not a few criticisms. In particular, there's one key level midway through the game that's a little less... explicit in its instructions, as to where to go, and how to

Thanks to everyone who's played Narcosis so far; we're so grateful for your support. Now, a quick question for those who have completed the game:

What would you like to see in a "Special Edition," if such a thing were possible?
Are there any rough edges that really stuck out?
Questions left unanswered?
Extras you'd like to see?
Hope you'll share some thoughts, but - please - keep 'em spoiler-free!
(P.S. in case you missed it, there's an accompanying book, but you'll want to hold off on reading it until you've beaten the game, for sure...)

Narcosis is 33% off, and now with Oculus Touch support!
Want to cool down from the summer heat? Now's the chance, enjoy the cold depths at 33% off during the Steam summer sales. Occulus Touch Support Adding to our support to VR platforms, we want to make sure that you can play on these with the associated input methods. Now, as we alr
Want to cool down from the summer heat?
Now's the chance, enjoy the cold depths at 33% off during the Steam summer sales.
Occulus Touch Support
Adding to our support to VR platforms, we want to make sure that you can play on these with the associated input methods.
Now, as we already discussed with some of you in the forums, we won't be able to support full motion controls, as that would require a significant amount of rework.
That said, you can now enjoy Narcosis using Oculus Touch controllers, with the following (for now) fixed control scheme :

Stick (Left Touch) : Movement
Stick (Right Touch) : Rotation
A (Right Touch) : Use/Menu validation
B (Right Touch) : Cancel
Y (Left Touch) : Recenter VR sensor
Trigger (Left Touch) : Knife
Trigger (Right Touch) : Flares
Grip (Any Touch) : Thruster
Menu key (L touch) : Menu
Vive controllers support is coming up as well, just need a bit more work.
Changelist [v1.1.3.18535]

Oculus Touch Support (see above)
Fixed the achievements "Signs of Life" and "Memento Mori" that didn't trigger for some people. If you're among them, they should unlock once you launch the game with this new update. (Thanks to Altermind for helping out with this)
Balanced a bit oxygen supplies in some levels.

New Patch is Up (v1.1.2.18509)
Some players have noticed that another patch's gone live. Mostly " behind the scenes " stuff, but in the interest of transparency, here's what's changed: Changelist Safe Zone decals updated upon level save Minor memory optimizations The "Wanderer effect" works when Vsync is "off"
Some players have noticed that another patch's gone live. Mostly "behind the scenes" stuff, but in the interest of transparency, here's what's changed:
Changelist [v1.1.2.18509]

Safe Zone decals updated upon level save
Minor memory optimizations
The "Wanderer effect" works when Vsync is "off" and running at a high framerate
Japanese subtitles fixed
"You're an engineer" VO subtitles fixed (all languages)
Vertices adjusted in cafeteria so the "blood room" doors don't clip through walls
Player-collider fixed on crane in training pool
Fixed unclamped shader that occasionally causes a "white flash"
Interpolation added to the mist-on-glass effect (to prevent flashing in/out)
Fixed continue button displaying "commence"
Credits updated
"Open Air" no longer unlocked prior to credits
Cuttlefish attack angle adjusted in "Back to Normal"
Main Menu options adjusted: now says "Continue" instead of "Start Over" upon reaching the final sequence
Subtitles in a few new languages are on the way, and future updates to address some of the most outstanding requests and criticisms are in the works; watch this space for updates.
Thanks for playing, and the warm reception to this survival story, set beneath the sea. If you like what we've done, please encourage others to #PlayNarcosis for themselves, or maybe leave a Steam review - every bit helps!
Have a great weekend,
Honor Code
