Project Downfall has left Early Access !!!

Greetings Crimson Comunity,

This is it. Project Downfall has left Early Access and has gone 1.0. We hope you enjoy the game as much as we enjoyed making it!



Shoutouts to the awesome community with dedicated ones to 12OVER12, BONES, DCX, Donkeyman, Hardwater, Gamba, Nekromorg, Sinth, ShreksSon64, TF2NoobPlayer64. You all truly rock! Without your constant feedback and support we wouldn’t have managed to get as much done as we did. Ideas, detailed bug reports, balance suggestions, features….the works. We owe you all our utmost thanks and gratitude! Hope I didn't forget anyone (sleep deprivation is slowly getting the better of me;) So if I accidnetally forgot a mention, let me know and I'll update accordingly.

Speaking of gotta share these awesome edits sent in by Red Twister and LeShittoEditore. Really well done. Also you can chceck out the games discord for some fanart made by Mister Requiem and other cool stuff: https://discord.gg/h8TAUNacuK



A full list of what’s new will be in the 1.0. update further below.

But first we would like to thank you all for sticking by these 4 years. The game grew to something much bigger than originally planned thanks to your feedback and we do hope you will enjoy your trip, whichever ending and route you may get. We put a lot of heart and soul into this project and we hope it shows. No updates are planned now for the time being with the exception of gameplay critical bugs and issues. If these are reported we will try to fix them asap. A general update with some additional axed content might come some time down the line.



And a heads-up regarding the OST to anyone who purchased the game during Early Access. You will get it for free and should become available in about two weeks. We will keep you posted in this regard via announcements. The OST after Early Access will be available for purchase shortly after Early Access backers get access to it.

Now without further ado, let’s move on to the final Early Access update breakdown:
