Hello everyone,
Almost 19 months ago, the first part of "Escape Room - The Sick Colleague" got released. I never imagined it to be so popular and only your positive feedback kicked off the development of part 2. Thank you for that! It feels like ages ago and I have to thank you for your patience in not knowing an exact release date. So today I am very happy to be able to tell you, that part 2 will be available the next week on the 6th of April! :)
My initial plan was to not only release the game but also two very minor DLCs you can spend money on if you want to support the game. However, I am still waiting for my new tax ID to arrive to be able to set a price for the DLCs on Steam. This has led to the situation for the last few days that I am not releasing a free game for which some of you have been waiting a long time for the reason of... money. And this seems ridiculous to me. So I won't delay it any longer and put the game out now and the DLCs a bit later.
I hope you like the new room and that it is in a state you can play without any major bugs. The testing team did a really good job of pointing things out that are fixed now before you have to suffer through them (if you want, come to the Discord and thank the testers for suffering for you :D). I also want to give a special thanks to Urwis12 and Abdullah Ali Waleed for not only testing a lot but also helping on the Discord and being very helpful in discussing issues regarding the game.
Not everything is finished though and there will be a few updates in the next weeks. Some translations are still missing and Spanish will be the next one to arrive. Also, the possibility to rebind the controls in-game is planned as a future update.
Like I said above, there will also be two very optional DLCs so nobody gets left behind regarding the main game. I will announce them later on but here is a short hint of what is planned for them:
[h3]Supporter DLC[/h3]
Here you can buy a highly decorative support sticker that will show up in-game. You can also print it out and put it on your jacket, you will be regarded as highly sympathetic at parties :)

[h3]Character pack DLC[/h3]
For the multiplayer mode, this pack contains six new characters to choose from. They are all very intelligent so puzzle solving will be easier than ever :)

Thank you very much for your company on this journey! It has been stressful at times but also quite fulfilling. :)
