We are proud to announce that, after some lengthy months of porting and administration, Your Computer Might Be at Risk launches at present on Xbox and Windows PC . This is a excessive milestone for us, as it’s our first sport, self-published, and our first console sport.
This launch comes one yr after its authentic launch on PC and with a brand new remaining chapter for the sport: La Rata Escarlata, which I imagine is our greatest iteration of the gameplay mechanics and story.
From a technical standpoint, we’ve labored arduous to make sure that the sport runs at a strong 60 FPS on all Xbox consoles, additionally with full 4K decision help beginning with Xbox One X.
Being a studio with simply two core members implies that we’ve each labored on most duties involving sport improvement sooner or later.

Your Computer Might Be at Risk is a sport about mistaken choices and the unavoidable weight of its penalties. Accepting them will not be at all times an choice, as there are some issues that can’t be undone.
Game improvement will not be presently our principal job, and dealing on the sport part-time made the method take a number of years, for much longer than we might have anticipated initially. The emotions of dropping your method, being constant along with your previous and dealing with the sudden whereas making an attempt to maneuver ahead are the pillars on which I wrote the script. I really imagine that gamers will be capable to immerse themselves within the story and get carried away by the occasions and puzzles of the sport.
In phrases of artwork, the sport takes the “Giallo” movie style (homicide/thriller/fiction) as its principal supply of inspiration, with a robust use of vivid colours and a soundtrack stuffed with basic synths and drum sounds.

Accompanying these moments, quieter extra narrative sequences assist the participant to at all times be in tune with the feelings the protagonist feels all through the sport.
As the story progresses, the mundane conditions of the start develop into more and more weird and dreamlike.
The puzzles of the sport cowl totally different spectrums of the style, from logical and self-contained to ones that evolve in subsequent chapters or require using an object within the participant’s stock. We have iterated quite a bit on the issue of the sport and, whereas I believe there are some puzzles that require the participant to essentially work their deductive expertise, we’ve tried to make all gamers really feel comfy with the sport with a good issue curve and a particular and completely optionally available trace mode that can provide a clue to unravel the puzzles.
In phrases of accessibility, the sport accommodates a colorblind mode to permit extra gamers to totally benefit from the sport. This mode not solely adjustments particular colours for the principle forms of shade blindness, but in addition adapts some puzzles with numerous colours to make sure a stability with the default sport. In case you have an interest on this side of the sport, I wrote an article about this in our Itch.io web page.
I wish to emphasize the brand new content material included within the sport: La Rata Escarlata.. Accessible from the principle menu, this remaining and unbiased chapter takes place in a brand new location not seen in the principle sport: the bar in the midst of the desert “La Rata Escarlata”.
This chapter explores the origins of the sport’s story and accommodates probably the most elaborate puzzles.
