Once Alive v1.2.8 is Live!

2026-09-02

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since the last update. I’ve actually been focusing on creating my second game. Yes, your support for Once Alive has given me the opportunity to work full-time on another game project. I’m incredibly grateful for that, and hopefully, my next game will arrive in 2027. If you’d like to hear about what I’m working on next, please follow Once Alive or my developer page on Steam. \ But enough about that for now. Once Alive released on consoles on August 28, and in the meantime, a number of improvements were made to the game. v1.2.8 Patch Notes • Bug fixes • Reduced texture streaming times • Fixed cutscene audio/video synchronization issues • Improved gamepad support • Lighting overhaul • Improved text and control accessibility • Improved character controls and camera feel • Minor environmental audio improvements • Reduced loading times

I hope you enjoy the update! Thank you for your ongoing support. -Cem Boray

I purchased it at £2, and I would say it is worth that for the less than 2hrs it takes to complete (And...

The setting, a post apoc game where the animals have become infected and even a scratch is deadly, wiping out 99% of humanity. You play a character who managed to survive with his younger (but still adult) brother. Your brother leaves after a fight to find a rumored "safe haven" where people still live. You feeling bad (and alone) end up following after him some days later. This game tries to punch up but what...
