T.E.R is an update that will allow players to play on a more refined and better looking game. The mechanics and maps are very similar with some minor changes.

The update will be dropping within the hour. Just need some time to change the store images, trailer and release the update itself.

I mentioned in a previous post that the game will be increasing in price. While yes that is true, I am going to allow ~2 days before I update the price a few extra dollars. The price is increasing as this is a better game with more content but also as you can play the previous game.

There is also a new "Bug Report" feature in the menu, if you find any bug weather big or small, feel free to use this to send me a report and I can get to work on fixing it.

Thanks everyone and hope you have fun playing :)

The Experiment Remastered is a FREE update that will be releasing soon.

I am a solo developer that created "The Experiment" as my first project. It is scripted inefficiently, poor optimizations and overall just not a good experience to play. I was still learning Unreal Engine at the time, so now after 12 months of experience, I am remaking the entire game from the ground up.


There has been another 2 hospitals created, now 3 total. I tried to focus more on quality than quantity in this release.

Before:
After:
These cosmetics are free, there are no micro transitions. BUT you will need to unlock the cosmetics for the flashlight by playing games. The outfit colors and genders are available from the start.

Outfit:
There is currently 2 colors with more coming in future updates.
Flashlight:
There are 3 cosmetic types when it comes to the flashlight. Light color, Handle color, and Magnets.

Light Colors:
Handle Colors:
Magnets:
>Previously I mentioned that the classic version of "The Experiment" would be getting replaced by this free update. But now I have a solution of including both games within the same steam game.

>The price will rise up to $5 USD after 24 hours of the update being released. But this included both the Classic and Remastered games.

Thanks for checking this post out :) Stay tuned for more updates.

It has been over a week since the first progress update and steady progress has been made since then.

Here is a breakdown on how much of the game has been completed.

The Gameplay includes things like, the enemy, x-ray machine, batteries, sanity etc.

Only 3 maps have been created: Main Menu, Lobby, and Silver Pine hospital. Only 1 gameplay map has been created as I have mainly been working on the gameplay. Once the game works with 1 map, I can create more maps.

*Work in progress*
The lobby has had a full rework. It now features many interactable objects such as the Monitor, Mirror and more. This change was to make the lobby a bit more entertaining for ALL players.

Cosmetics... WHY ? Hear me out, all the cosmetics in the game are free. All cosmetics are unlocked by just playing games. These cosmetics are only for your characters flashlight and allow customizability.

There is also now a way for players to customize their character. You can select gender and also color of your outfit.



The game itself is about 40-50% complete. This number is not factual as a lot of time will be spent fixing bugs, playtesting, making maps etc. I have been working on the game every day and I hope to release the game as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience :)

Hi, I would like to update you lot with the progress of the upcoming overhaul to my game called 'The Experiment'

If you haven't heard by now, there is a big update coming that will be revamping the entire game.

Well since 'The Experiment' is the first game that I have every made, I obviously did very bad practices regarding the scripting of the game. It would be faster to remake the entire game from scratch then to fix all the issues that it contains. So with that, I am changing a lot of the game like custom flashlights, selectable outfits, better graphics etc.

Luckily I can already provide screenshots from the game as I have made a lot of progress. Here are screenshots from the same locations in both the Classic and Reworked games...
Main Menu:
Silver Pine Hospital:
I can't say too much about the game at the moment as I don't want to make any fake promises. But I can let you know that the game is ~20% complete. I don't have an exact date but I can give an estimate. It should be no longer than 2 months until release.

This game will be replacing 'The Experiment' as it is meant to be an update which means the original game will no longer be playable (it's for the better honestly haha)

Thanks for reading and stick around for more updates later on !

Let's adress the elephant in the room, this game is shovelware. It was my first ever game that I created, with that comes many bugs, poor optimizations, and badly implemeted features.

That's why I am re-making the game from the ground up to make sure that players will have the best experience playing this game. This will come in the form as a free update for those who own the game. If you do not own the game, the price may increase when the update goes live.

I am glad to announce that the new update has started development. That means you have only a few more weeks/months to keep playing this original version of "The Experiment" before it is replaced by the new one.

Thanks and stay tuned for more updates in the future.

Hi !

Sorry there has been no updates for 'The Experiment' recently. I have been working on other projects. I want to get some community feedback on this game as I am planning to make a remaster of this game in the future.

'The Experiment' was my first ever game and with that comes many bugs, glitches and poor performance. Updating this game is extremely difficult as the scripting for it is a mess. I would like to start fresh.

Not to worry though, it will come as an update for this game in the future which is why I would like some community feedback. Feel free to leave a comment on this post with positive or negative feedback.

Thank you <3
:)

As requested, a more open and vertical hospital has now been added. There is a bit of lag opening the first doors on the map but after that, it is fine. I am looking for what is causing this but for now, I just wanted to put out the map for everyone to play !

Thank you everyone for your patience :)

-fixed the green card sometimes not spawning
-fixed a missing wall on Swan River Hospital (not sure how I missed that one)
-changed the initial menu warning button to be larger

You have been asking for it and here it is.

Players now have the option to use the in game voice proximity chat. It is recommended that all players use this for a more immersive experience. Look at the in game settings for more details and how to set it up. Make sure to setup key binds for these actions.

New sounds have been added. Here are a few examples:
-Soft groan from the experiment
-Heartbeat if you are very close to the experiment
-Ambient background audio
-Most sounds are now in 3D space and can be heard by nearby players

Some players found it difficult to start game and invite players. The keys have been removed and replaced by a monitor. This monitor can be used by the host to start game and invite players.
