Wow, what a Next Fest that was!

We loved seeing tens of thousands of you playing our demo, providing feedback and streaming on Twitch. We couldn’t be more grateful for your time playing, and for the love you’ve shown The Last Caretaker over the past week. Thanks to your feedback, we were able to update the Demo during Next Fest!

As we don’t want you to stop playing; we’re happy to host our demo on Steam for players that want to explore more of Hangar 37, and for new players to discover some of the secrets and teases in store.

Here’s a few Steam NEXT FEST stats:

  • Among top 50 played Steam Next Fest games 
    We were blown away by the interest in The Last Caretaker, and especially those who have played the demo. Your feedback has been honest and welcome, which gave us all the right information to update the demo with some additions and tweaks, and we can’t thank you enough.
  • Phenomenal Playtime
    The depth of what we’re creating is really showing in how you’re playing The Last Caretaker. While average playtime of all demos was around 15 minutes, we’re seeing 1 hour 30 minutes on average, which is incredible and shows how much the game is resonating with players. Please keep playing to learn more about the Caretakers, and uncover some of the secrets still to be found.
  • Huge Caretaker Influx
    Thousands of new Caretaker candidates poured in during Next Fest. Welcome to The Last Caretaker community! If you’d like to join our discord, you can speak to us directly with your feedback, feature requests, and hang out with us as we shape the future of the game during Early Access: http://discord.gg/channel37

Above all, please keep playing, because your feedback will be crucial as we head toward our Early Access launch on November 6, and we’ll continue to implement updates and tweaks to increase your enjoyment at, and beyond November 6.

There’s not long to go now, and we’re finalising our roadmap to share with you soon on what new shiny things we’ll be adding to the game, including vehicles, items, resources, story and so much more.

Thank you again, and we’ll see you among the waves.
