THE ALPHA STAYS
The VR and desktop alpha you've been playing — the one that started this whole thing — isn't going anywhere. It's a complete chapter of The Strangeland in its own right, playable today in both VR and desktop mode, and it always will be. If you own it, you own a finished piece of this world.
WE'RE BUILDING SOMETHING BIGGER
What we're working on now isn't an update to that alpha. It's a new game, built from the ground up: a full desktop first-person action RPG, no headset required, spanning multiple levels across two distinct planes of The Strangeland — the surface world, and the spaces beneath it that change everything you thought you understood about the story.
This is a much bigger undertaking than the alpha ever was. Full narrative. Voice acting. A final sequence that reframes the whole game. We're a team of three, and we're taking the time to get it right rather than rushing a date. Full release is targeted for 2027.
WHY WE'RE TELLING YOU THIS NOW
Because you've already been here. You played the alpha. You know what The Strangeland is. What's coming next builds on that — it doesn't replace it — and we wanted the people who found this world first to be the first to know what's coming.
HOW TO SUPPORT WHAT'S NEXT
The alpha funded itself. The full game is being funded by the people building it alongside us. If you want in on that, https://discord.gg/tkTwTP6mxd is where the full game gets made.
More soon.
