The Sick Colleague "Room Under Construction"

[SpartanSPNKr]

So I just downloaded this game, and saw that I am only able to play the sequel "Barbara's Secret". I did read on another Discussion that the first room is not available to knew players due to "legal" issues? Is there any way you can elaborate on this? Also is there an update on when it will be available again? I feel like playing the sequel would just spoil the game? I appreciate your time.

Hi,
I built the first room after I visited a real escape room. And I just wanted to practice making a game of it. So the room and puzzles are basically a copy of that existing room.And the owners found out about it and did not want the room to be playableon Steam.
So right now the situation is a bit unclear but I don't want no trouble with it, so I will have to talk to them again some time in the future about a deal maybe.
And the sequel won't spoil too much I think. If you play the first room later it will be more like a sequel in movies where you get to know some background and piece together the whole story. I think you won't notice at first how the two rooms relate to each other.

I appreciate the transparency. Not a lot of developers would do that. Hopefully you can work out something. Maybe even put a picture or item in the room that promotes them? Either way I'm excited to hopefully play it some day. This just means you can make a third room! lol

Haha, yes, I am glad for this opportunity to make a third room :D
In my initial talk to the owners I offered to promote them even on the Steam page etc. but their understandable argument was that someone might play the game and then visit their escape room already knowing how to solve it and having a bad experience. Personally, I would be thrilled to find that room by accident in real life :D

Thanks for re-releasing :D I love the "new" room and can't wait for the 3rd instalment!
I really like the social commentary and hope players actually understand that this kind of horrific **** happens to thousands of people every single day in real life.

Thank you very much! Yes, I hope everyone will get an idea about those things. I added an info panel at the end but I am not sure how many players will read that.
