Exophobia: Fire & Ice Expedition - Content Update Announcement

2025-09-24

Just announced during BoomStock, a new content update that will bring a whole new adventure! Set in the world of Exophobia, play a new short adventure, set prior to the events in the main game. Play as the I.S.A ship scientist, as you explore a cave deep in the alien planet. Fight new enemies and face new challenges - can you make it out alive? Check out the clip here: It's still very early in development, but it has been fun revisiting the game world :) This short adventure will bring fresh mechanics, so if you want MORE Exophobia, don't miss this update! I had the idea for this update ever since mid-development of the main game. I was not sure if I would include it as a separate demo, content update or paid DLC. Now that I got a new boost of energy to work on games again, I decided to include it as a free update to thank all the players that supported Exophobia.

This is for you! Stay tuned! Zarc

I hope you like constant one way doors because nothing elevates a metroidvania than actively punishing the player for exploration. The annoying shield enemies were also a nice touch. The map that dies while you use it and which you have to regularly recharge also deserves an award for the most moronic thing that somebody ever implemented into an exploration game. But at least that can be disabled in the options menu...

Primary complaint: There are softlocks where you can get stuck. The dev has addressed a few of these, but they still exist and it is frustrating when you are running around trying to figure out what to do only to find out you are just permanently stuck. It appears the ziplines are a big cause of these issues. Assuming the softlocks get even further addressed, there are still some flaws with the navigation design....

Why is this game intentionally designed to be as frustrating as possible? It almost seems like the devs want people to give them negative reviews.
