So is there still no word on when Episode 3 is coming?

I want to buy Episodes 1 and 2, but I have zero desire to buy them without knowing for sure that the dev will complete the story. I don't want to be left on a cliff-hanger forever.

The call of the Starseed is what got me excited for the OG vive back when VR first came out. That being said, I was also really excited for the follow up and continuation of the story, but after having seen cloudhead move on to Pistol Whip, I have little hope that the series will be concluded. :/ VR is evolving very quickly now though, so making another game like the first two probably wouldnt even do very well anyway. My real hope is that they create something new with the new technologies at hand.

Is it fair to say that the second episode ends on a big cliff-hanger?

Episode 2 wraps up quite nicely I think and leaves you with far fewer questions then episode 1 but the common theme on both being that you're searching for your sister and that's still true at the end of what we have so far.

Cloudhead pulled us in with the promise of 3 episodes and a not unreasonable expectation of a conclusion to the story. The games were very expensive for what they were at the time but people gladly paid that for the quality of experience, the compelling story line and the belief the story would indeed be completed.

They have effectively abandoned it, and us, now having established themselves on the profits of those games and have turned their attention to more lucrative projects.

Shame on them for not even having the decency to respond to peoples inquiries regarding the 3rd episode. I for one shall not be purchasing any further games by this developer.

Yep, this is my exact fear. I almost bought these two episodes, too. I'm glad I didn't.

You're missing out on a couple of great games, even if they never make an episode 3, Episodes one and two were amazing and well worth playing. You're definitely denying yourself a couple of amazing experiences whether they continue the story or not.

Despite my deep disappointment with the developer as previously expressed I would agree with this. The two games are a great VR experience, so long as you buy knowing that the story is incomplete and assumed abandoned.

I loved Episode 1, wanted to wait on 3 before playing 2 so I could experience the whole story rather than wait a year for part 3. Little did I know.

Now I really want to play this still, but since it's clear 3 will never come out I cannot justify $30 for part 2!! Even if they finished the story with a comic I would be happier than knowing it ends with an unresolved cliffhanger!

They should make part 3 and "remaster" the first 2 parts with some minor improvements and sell the trilogy as a single game. VR is now ready for such an excellent complete adventure. Sure many never bought because it was episodic.

I understand the need and want of a third episode but really, 1 and 2 are awesome in their own right. I didn't know there was a third episode planned initially and I didn't feel like the ending of ep2 was such a cliffhanger. For me, that was just the end. If you're hesitant then just wait for a sales, I bought the combo for 15€ last year and at that price it's a no-brainer!

Okay, I just played through the 2nd Episode (bought them on sale) and I truly enjoyed it (much better than the first, where the controls were truly distracting, despite a story that left you wanting to find out what happens next). Even without the ending it's worth playing - and to be honest I don't know how a 3rd part could not be anti-climactic after the finale of part 2 ^^
Still, it's a shame it was abandoned :(
