ROTTEN ANGEL

Rotten Angel is a tense, atmospheric survival horror game developed by a single indie developer. You are trapped in a world where the boundary between the afterlife and reality is tearing apart.

But whatever is lurking in the dark isn't your only problem... To survive, you'll need to keep your rising panic in check, navigate a deeply hostile world, and somehow outsmart a surnatural super predator.

• UPDATE 1.2 : The Kickstarter ended

I want to start with the simple truth: our first Kickstarter campaign was very far from reaching its goal. The funding we were hoping for didn't come through, and as a result, the development timeline for the game is going to be significantly longer than we'd planned.

I thought about how to phrase this, and in the end I decided the only right way was plainly. You deserve honesty more than you deserve a spin.

To everyone who backed us, shared the campaign, or even just followed along quietly, thank you. I mean that more than a single line can carry. A first attempt not working out stings, but the support around it was real, and it's the reason I'm writing this as an update rather than a goodbye. Every pledge, every message, every person who told a friend about the game mattered, and none of that effort was wasted just because a funding bar didn't fill up in time.

Here's what the setback actually means, in honest terms. Kickstarter would have let me move faster, dedicate more hours to development, get help in the areas that need it, and bring the game to you sooner. Without that, I'm building this the way it began: carefully, in the time I can give it, funded on my own. That's slower, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Milestones I hoped to hit this year will land later. The roadmap stretches out. I'd rather tell you that clearly today than promise dates I can't keep and let you down twice.

But I also want to be just as clear about what hasn't changed. The game is still being made. The core of it is real and working, the systems I care most about are already in place and coming together better than I'd hoped. A longer timeline isn't a death sentence; if anything, it's more room to get the details right instead of rushing them out to meet a deadline. The vision that made me start this hasn't moved an inch.

So this isn't an ending. It's a recalibration. Development continues, the updates here will keep coming, and I'll keep being honest with you at every step, the good news and the hard news alike. I'm already thinking about what a smarter approach to funding looks like down the road, and when there's something concrete to share, you'll hear it here first.

If you're new and just discovering the game through this page, welcome. This is the kind of project, and the kind of honesty, you can expect from me going forward. I'd love to have you along for the rest of it.

A discord server is coming soon so we can keep in touch, and maybe in the future coordinate enterprises such a this one together more efficiently.

Thank you for being here. Now, back to work.
