1. what percentage of the game is complete?
Tough thing to answer, if you mean in terms of content then you could go by how we aim to have the full game be around 5-6 hours vs the demo which is around an hour. Some stuff will differ in the final game compared to the demo, of course.

2. estimated release date?
Should our Kickstarter succeed, the goal is to have it out in about a year and half to two years after that.

3. estimated price when the game is released?
It will be priced somewhere around $20-25.

4. will the game feature multiple endings?
Yes, the game will indeed feature multiple endings. The ideal experience is for players to play through it at least twice (although there will be more then just two endings). Don't want to say a ton more on this but we plan to make the game replayable in various ways.

5. will there be a secret like a hidden ARG or eastereggs?
We here at Wither love including minor details from references to things we love to full blown hidden content. The demo has several secrets, to my knowledge nobody has found some of them....

6. will there be explanation to who the first "wraith" was (the beak mouth monster / the first we encounter in the game)?
Yes, I really want to say more then just that as I feel like to answer this requires more but I don't think I really can without possibly spoiling anything haha so I'll just leave it at that!

7. what inspired the games artstyle (ive seen several games with a similar art style)?
We have lots of inspirations from movies to games to books. Here are some:
Games: Silent Hill, Resident Evil, Clock Tower, Dead Space, Alien Isolation, Spec Ops: The Line, The Suffering, Amnesia: The Dark Descent
Movies: Alien, The Thing (really everything John Carpenter has ever made), slasher movies like Friday the 13th or Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Guillermo del Toro movies
Authors: H.P. Lovecraft, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Junji Ito

It might seem strange for me to mention all of that when you asked about artwork but that is because all of these have also inspired our artwork from designs to the content that we show. There really isn't a direct thing that I can point to which inspired our art direction as it was the result of iteration. IMMURE has actually been in development for over three years so any recent titles that have a similar look is coincidence (some people have said our game looks like Fran Bow or Little Nightmares, both of which none of us have even played haha). The only indie game that I can say for sure was an inspiration was Lone Survivor but that is because it itself is heavily inspired by Silent Hill which is also once of our inspirations (although that game came out like 6 years ago I think?).

Starting off, our goal was for the game to be 2D, have real-time lighting, and use bone rigging for the characters. The 3D was something we started playing with and ended up loving the look of. If you would like to know more, the demo includes an Art Concepts menu along with descriptions (you can find it if you hit the More button on the main menu). In there, you will even see early concept art for our art direction from more of a comic book style to a gritty realistic style!

8. will the game be episodic or one game?
One complete game, although it would probably be easy to break the game into episodes given the way it is set up this is something we want to avoid because it would really break the flow of it all and not every chapter will be equal in terms of content.

9. can we have a page where people can submit ideas for "wraiths" or game mechanics other stuff to help with the games development?
You should join our Discord if you want to discuss stuff like game mechanics or other ideas for the game! However, we do not intend on accepting outside Wraith ideas for several reasons. Each Wraith is more then just how they look or even how they behave. They are intricately tied to not just the environment they inhabit but also the story of the game. On top of all of that there is a balancing aspect on how each chapter relates to one another. I can't really say much more without giving away spoilers.

A link to the discord can be found on our webpage here: http://www.witherstudios.com/immure/

We plan to support other languages but, other than Russian, I can't say for sure which ones we will end up translating to.

Sorry, we are not giving away any secrets. This is something you will need to figure out on your own or find somebody who might know.

I'll give you a hint though: Ronnie's Notes

We do not have a scheduled release date at this moment for Part Two. You could follow us on social media or join our discord if you want to stay up to date on any announcements!

I put the rocket ship that was in the firefighter level on the moon thing next to the child room door and it said it did something, does it really do something or did it not just get added in yet?

I have a very simple question: When there will be a substantial update?

Is this game ever going to be finished?

It does do something! But that is for you to figure out!

We are a small team, all of whom do this on the side in addition to our day jobs. This makes it so that IMMURE has long development cycles but it is very much a passion project for all of us so we certainly want to see it through to the end!

If you are interested in talking to us or keeping up with the latest news, we have a Discord:
https://discordapp.com/invite/YGqJCJ2

You could also follow us on Twitter. Of course, we are not always the most active as we also don't really have a dedicated person to do marketing. We are as indie as indie gets here at Wither.
