| [PATCH 02.06.2026] QoL, UX and one extra anomaly. | 2026-06-02 | Hi! GoragarX here. As I said in the previous Dev Update, I had an update ready to publish that focused on adding requested features from some players.New Features\ Cloud Saving: The game now supports cloud saving. If you change devices (for example, from desktop to Steam Deck), you'll keep all anomalies, items obtained, etc.\ Anomaly Compendium is now accessible during gameplay: If you pause the game mid-run, you can access all the anomalies. It dynamically updates as you play, and you're notified when a new anomaly is registered.\ Speedrun Fast-Restart: Some of my fastest anomaly hunters said that having to go back to the menu if you messed |
| [DEV UPDATE] Room 713: A month after release. | 2026-05-30 | Hi! GoragarX here.

But first, I want to sincerely thank everyone who bought and played Room 713 for supporting my work; it means the world to me.It's been... rough.To put it plainly, it's been rough. I spent roughly 7+ months of dev time putting my heart and soul into this project, but despite my efforts, I didn't make it.My goal was to sell 1000 copies, and I'm currently sitting at almost 400. This isn't the right place to discuss earnings, but I'm afraid we'll need to postpone the yacht party :(What went wro |

| [PATCH NOTES] Demo version 1.2 | 2026-02-26 | From the DevHi! GoragarX here. So far, Steam Next Fest has been great. We have gathered 400 wishlists during the event. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.This is a minor patch to update the voices mainly.Bye Bye AI!All AI voices have been updated to real VAs.A "Credits" section has been added in the Extras tab.Small dialogue changes.Trophy!A trophy has been added for beating the demo. "But Goragar! I've already beaten the demo! Do I have to play again?"Not at all! The game had a flag to check if the player had beaten the demo (to show the feedback window). The game checks that flag and automatically gives you the trophy if you had bea |
| [DEV UPDATE] Bye bye, AI! | 2026-02-26 | Hi! GoragarX here. Good news! Room 713 is now 100% AI free!As you all probably noticed, the current demo version contained AI voices. The deadline for Steam Next Fest was creeping up, and I wasn't able to find any VA who fit my needs (...and budget). As an indie solo dev, you sometimes need to make compromises.Nevertheless, AI voices were merely placeholders. I dislike the use of AI technologies because I believe every human endeavor is best with, well, humans involved.After publishing the first version of the demo, several wonderful people contacted me, and we teamed up to bring the game to life. The glow-up has been massive.You can find all |

I'm super happy to share that the demo has been a success: 400ish people have played it, the wishlist has almost tripled, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are still in rookie numbers territory, but things are looking better than ever.It's been a heartwarming experience to see people care about my work and share their playthroughs on YouTube, Twitch, etc. I've made a playlist of every gameplay I could find, and I watched all of you play (even if I couldn't understand a single word, hahaha).Also, I wanted to address something regarding the briefcase: Yes, the second key IS in the demo.
