What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Terminal Error is a highly experimental game. As such, we want as much feedback and help as possible to mold the game into a truly memorable experience. Moreover, the game has a long development timeline, thus pushing us to release in Chapters and make adjustments along the way.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The game will likely be in Early Access until early 2026. However, we intend to periodically update the game, revealing new areas and new plot points along the way.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We intend to add alot of content during the Early Access, collecting feedback and processing it to make the best possible game we can with the community. The full game will be the culmination of all that, encompassing all the new maps, designs, monsters and chapters we have built along the way.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access includes the first part of Chapter 1, introducing the Player to the world of Terminal Error and it's mechanics. Players will be able to navigate through a 3D world from an experimental point-and-click perspective, interacting with unique pop-up interfaces and traditional puzzle solving elements. Currently, one map is available along with 4 equipment features (Items, Medkit, Torch and Gun).”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The price will increase throughout the Early Access up until the Final Release. Price changes will only occur during significant updates, and we will warn the community beforehand if we are increasing prices in any way.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community involvement is crucial for us, with Steam Discussions and Discord being our means of collecting feedback and suggestions. We will collect Player comments for every new version of the game, working to implement the valuable insights given by the community to enhance the game's mechanics and experience.”

About This Game

The relentless gears of the Eternal Engine grind on, but only change can fix a broken machine…

Thrust into the unfamiliar world of Site 41, play as a clueless soldier stuck in the middle of a compound-wide compromise. Traverse unsettling environments, solve engaging puzzles and discover grotesque truths in this frightening and surreal reimagining of the point-and-click horror genre.

TERMINAL ERROR takes place in the bleak and oppressive tunnels of Site 41, a secretive underground facility housing obscured and experimental technologies. Established by the Island Armed Forces (IAF), a professional army paranoid with maintaining their iron grip on military supremacy, the compound was meant to run endlessly. However, this perfect machine isn’t what it seems…

The plot begins with an unsuspecting soldier suddenly awakening to a foreign and suspiciously desolate guardhouse. Meeting a mysterious companion over the intercoms, the newfound allies investigate the cause of some seemingly unexpected system failures and end up in the centre of a more concerning disaster.

Stumble into a terrifying rabbit hole filled with dangerous secrets and reveal a horrific world buried beneath the ground...

Point-and-Click Revamped: Look around and interact with a tactile and engaging world as you unravel mysteries, now with a heightened sense of space

Move seamlessly through eerie corridors, searching for clues as you find your way around

Heal Up with Medkits: With dangers at every corners, you are bound to get injured. Heal up with unusual medkit system paired with our fascinating UI, spicing up the traditional healing experience

Simply tear open your medkit and apply it to your injury, it's easier than it looks...

Play with Guns: Your Rifle is your best friend. Collect bullets and load up your weapon, it'll definitely come in handy as you creep through these dangerous corridors

Stun and run enemies as you explore... The bullets might not kill monsters, but at least they slow them down. If you're lucky, maybe you could slip away in time.

Morbidly Twisted Worlds: Encounter grotesque monsters and explore haunting spaces plastered with flesh, blood and all forms of warped monstrosities as you learn more about the cryptic truth of the facility.

Don't get too close to the monsters though... They can easily grab you, entering into an interesting 'Struggling Minigame' sequence to escape the grasps of these creatures

It's probably better to just keep your distance... Luckily, they can't follow you into every space...

Stopping the Ceaseless Machine: Experience a unique story about an oppressive and controlling world desperately in need of change and reform.
