Hey everyone!
Javy here. The first content update is nearly here. Plan is to have it out the door on January 29 for both Steam and Itch.io versions of Distress. As someone who’s played a lot of DLC over the years, I find that my favorites are those that feel like natural extensions of the game in question, like how Artorias of the Abyss is essentially just another zone in Dark Souls or how the various episodes of Mass Effect 2 feel like they’re naturally woven into the game’s story.
With that in mind, Distress’ DLC updates will be similar. All of them will take place during the Nova-8 storyline. Every update will essentially turn one of the dead-end Game Over endings of Distress into an extensive branching path filled with more storylines, game overs, and tense situations. The first content pack is called Survive The Night. The update adds a new storyline with a surprise at the forefront of it and includes 10 endings.
As far as the next DLC goes, we’re eyeing a drop date of March update for content pack 2 (titled Bleak Orbit) and it will be quite different than anything you’ve played in Distress so far. We’ll shoot you all another update when the first DLC is live as well as instructions on how to access it.
Cheers.
