After 5 years of almost-solo development, loads of caffeine and Slime Essence (i just meant pizzas), the secret government project DESATURATION that ended up causing not just the apocalypse, but also a colorpocalypse, becomes a playable reality!

We-re very happy with this MAJOR milestone!
The game features more than 10 hours of challenging gameplay, different puzzles, boss battles and new mechanics!

A color-pocalypse is undoubtedly incoming. The secret project DESATURATION that caused the extinction of the humanity is about to enter another phase and threaten the current Earth residents, the Splatians. We are extremely thankful for your support and love for Desaturation. We are thrilled to share some news - one of which is the release date itself.

Yes, that's it, the game will release in just 3 weeks, on 19 April 2024. We are very sorry for making you wait that much, but we also wanted to make the game feel as completed and polished as possible and to convert this free prologue to serve its purpose as the game demo.

Yeah, we are in this beautiful 1.0 era when lots of stuff changes but version number stays the same.

This prologue build is on par with the first release candidate of the game, but some things will change before the release.

• Total graphics overhaul such as:
  
• New post processing,
  
• Lots of vegetation
  
• More detailed geometry by using tessellation
  
• Levels like Library and the Forest will feel refreshed for you.
  
• More props, more barrels,
  
• More physics details. e.g. Tables break.
  
• FSR 2.0 upscaler and hardware tessellation
  
• Some small physics tweaks and many bugfixes.
  
• Steam Input. Please make sure you update your controller config!

And with all these improvements, here are some possibly-sad news. I love all you achievement hunters who hunted on the old Prologue and checked every nook and cranny. When you buy the full game, your progress will carry, but the full game features much more different achievements. And achievements will not carry from the Prologue to the full game. So, I went off and removed Photons & Matter completely from the Prologue - so no Spring Shoes, coins, vents and similar. And because I prefer to be honest, another reason for this change is to make the prologue shorter with very strong call to action in its ending - and a short teaser trailer too. And your old saves will not work with the new version. Just start over, experience the updated chapter, and if you loved it.

Because the game now defaults to use Steam Input, please check and reset your controller configuration to the new official one. If you want to keep constant 58-60 fps, enable manual GPU clocking and set it above 1.2GHz. The FSR 2.0 implementation in its "As Intended" quality level may actually be slower than Marketing Mode - but Balanced also works well. Alternatively, you can lower the resolution and enable FSR 1.0 for both increased frame rate and battery savings.
