CHORDOSIS
A downloadable game for Windows

While UAP/UFO sightings in Hungary have been scarce, with only a few reported cases, an overwhelming majority of approximately 90% of these sightings have been concentrated in a specific remote rural area.
As a Hungarian, I've always found it intriguing how little is known about this region of my country. With only a few small villages scattered throughout, it remains relatively unknown.
Their stories served as my primary inspiration during the development of this game.

Dive into Cosmic Horror:
CHORDOSIS invites you to experience a unique cosmic survival sci-fi horror game centered around alien abductions. Immerse yourself in the small village of Dunahont, Hungary, and uncover its chilling mysteries.
Find Your Missing Twin:
Take on the role of Sadie, determined to find her vanished twin sister. Ignored by the authorities, Sadie embarks on a dangerous journey to unravel the truth.

Puzzles and Survival:
Solve intricate physics-based puzzles and manage your inventory creatively. Face the unknown with unique weapons, fighting for survival against the alien threat.
Uncover the Enigma:
Step into a world where the skies are full of secrets and danger lurks everywhere. As Sadie, your mission is clear: find your sister and unearth the hidden truths in the cosmic horror of CHORDOSIS.

Many of you have asked about a Steam release.
I'm excited to confirm that a Steam and EPIC release is in the works, but it will be episodic.
The itch.io version will always remain as the Founders Edition, and it will be the only version that contains the exclusive founders episode.
This way, I can support itch.io because it has become the heart of indie horror.
Being a part of it is wonderful.
Every game here is special, and itch.io is a fantastic platform to show your love for them.
Thank you itch.io

Adam where you at bro, we need this !!
What IS there is amazing. But unfortunately, that's not very much. It's painful how great this project could be, but it has been abandoned. I find it particularly scummy of the dev to be asking for $10 for this when for that price, you can go get actual completely projects. I'm interested in how long the demo is, because the Founders Edition is still so short it feels like a demo.
The dev claims you get the early build of Episode 2 in the Founders Edition, but unless I'm missing something, that is just a blatant lie. You get a sneak peak of episode 2, that jarringly plops you into the middle of it without any context, and then you pick up a gun and shoot an ET before the credits roll. With the amazing worldbuilding and tension of Episode 1, this was super disappointing. There was no teasing the alien, no dramatic buildup, just...enter room, there's an alien. It's like he threw it together just to appease people who might be upset about paying for a "survival horror" game that has no survival. There are NO enemies in Episode 1, and you can't even kill the ones in the sneak peak of Episode 2.
Where it stands, I really wouldn't spend your money on it. I wish I hadn't. I was craving some alien horror stuff, and got curious enough to drop the $7 on sale. I'll give the dev credit, what was there was absolutely right up my alley. The way the weird events start happening, the audio, the setting, all of that is amazing. It's just a shame that the dev seems to have just dropped the project without a single word on when/if there will be more. Just promises on this page that feel empty when there has been no communication.
Adam, the fact that so many people want you to continue this should be a compliment of the highest kind, and I think you owe it to us to at the very least come out and say the game is dead. Or if it isn't, then show us that! I spent $7 on this, which isn't much. If this was an entire game with a finished story and more content, then I would have gladly paid more. For a 8-12 hour campaign, similar to Resident Evil or Silent Hill, I'd be happy to shell out $40 for that.
The fact that the graphics, physics, audio, and the feel of just walking around this dreary world can compete with the likes of the big name survival horror games out there is astonishing, given how small the dev team is. I really really hope that we see more of this in the future.
Man..... :(
Scam! Give me my money back. I’ve been waiting too long for this shit.
So the future looks like an abandoned project to me I purchased this 3 years ago and since then no development has been done so much so that everyone thinks this is a finished project I am here hoping to light a fire under your a$$ you showed future content and had people put money down for a demo and a trailer if you wanted to abandon it you should have just thrown up the demo for money and not made it episodic. I hope this gets finished or at least a little further down the road because it's not okay and false advertisement it's a great demo but thats all it is at this point a proof of concept.
i bet he is dealing with the massive array and manifold of changes to UE between even 4 and 5.
Szia! A játék melyik fázisban van jelenleg? mert amikor anno megvettem még az első rész ami talán kész volt. Info meg nem nagyon van közölve, hogy most éppen mi is van.
Sajnos a nagy semmi van... :(
Will this game work on my 3050 pc?
It should do...I have a 2060 laptop and it works for me with a bit of setting changes...note though that the dev has gone quiet with no updates for about 2 or 3 years now...still, its good for the price as is, just frustrating
Man this game hit the spot, I was craving this sort of atmospheric alien horror game.
Only one of two place where I got stuck and didn’t know what to do. The hallway and when I was on the roof of the workshop and the light came over.
Amazing experience, hope to get the full release soon!
Hope you are doing ok and get this finally published!
Yo Adam, is everything okay? Can you update us about the future of this project? We are really looking forward for it.
Any chance we'll get a VR version anytime soon? I recently bought the game, played through the first 10 minutes and thought this would be perfect for VR. So I'm saving it for a while until a VR mode comes out. Fingers crossed.
i have high certainty you could at least run it in VR-style with uevr.io since its an unreal engine game at least
You are some comedian, right? Game is dead.
why are they booing you? you're right
Nunca mas salio un update despues de años y de decir que el 90% del episodio 2 estaba completo, una pena porque parecia un proyecto muy, pero muy interesante.
This episode is great. The graphics are insane and the game-mechanics are executed perfectly. you should really give it a try!
2 years have gone without update, not even a tiny one that fixes some bugs. I know because I purchased this 2 years ago.
There's a good chance it's not being developed, but this episode is still well worth the money. I highly recommend.
Dont buy, game is dead
It's still a great game... absolutely buy it. Don't listen to this guy.
Re-playing this after some time, but ths time I am having some issues and not sure if it is a bug. I've just been to the roof, everything went dark and I had to go elsewhere (conscious I don’t want to give spoilers), I am down underground and there is a small train with one of those weird controllers on it, but the game has gone very laggy and I cannot seem to do anything with the controller on the train
Is the next episode still in the works?
„It looks amazing! Unreal Engine is the best — I work with it too!“
I really want to buy this game, but I don't understand if the game is full or there is more episodes coming? I don't want to play it now and then wait a year for the conclusion, if you know what I mean
From years of lurking it seems that this game is dead.
So you are going to buy probably only what's there now and what will be forever unfinished.
Even if somehow this project doesn't get any future release of content, seven bucks for what's here already...I'm feeling very inspired and it was worth the time, though I completely understand if people feel equally ripped off. Any STALKER fan out there should try this.
hi awesome demo but no news ?
There are no updates since a long time
Bro this shi in incredible, you're amazing
I bought it when it released 3 years ago I doubt there will be future releases
I have no words, this is perfect.
Awesome atmosphere. It's a bit of a shame that there hasn't been any progress for a long time, but I wouldn't mind paying the author a couple of bucks for this demo, maybe it will inspire him to continue working on this game.
For the people who say that the game is dead or is abandoned by the dev. This is Adam's(the dev) reply to a comment under "CHORDOSIS - OFFICIAL GAMEPLAY TRAILER" video on his YT channel, posted 2 weeks ago:
While he could be lying, I think he deserves the benefit of the doubt, considering he is a solo dev. Furthermore, many developers prefer to work 'quietly', without giving too much (or any) insight into development process (e.g. Team Cherry), so there's that.
Team Cherry is the worst kind to idolize they gone silent on their fans for more than 5++ years lmfao
I did not say that going silent on one's fans is great or honorable, I merely pointed out that the dev isn't dead nor he abandoned his game and that he continues working (albeit 'silently') on it. Team Cherry was used as a (quite famous) example of such phenomenon.
Ultimately, there is nothing TC's fans or people who bought chordosis can do but wait for the developers to complete their games. Endlessly hating on the devs doesn't achieve anything - the games will not release until they do.
Well they have a right to do that, they didn't take money from anyone, they don't have to post anything. That said, I don't have anything against Chordosis dev, just let him cook, creating art takes time, skill and lots of effort, and he works alone
They did take money from founder's edition supporter which promise next episode for more than 2 years now stop spreading misinformation
STILL A CON... DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! Over 2 years I paid extra for the "Founders edition." Waste of money! For those saying... It's *Just* $5 or 10... Some of us paid $20 to be in the "Founders edition." Have our name in chapter 2.... Which is clearly a flat out lie. Adam responds on Reddit but won't give a update. Honestly... Being real : If this was on steam i'd have got my $20 back but since it's on this platform, nothing you can do.
Argue "Its only $5." All you want... But it leaves a sour taste in many of our mouths being lied to for one. Secondly for those genuine indie horror devs on here, who charge like $2 or above for their game... People will just not pay and do it for free due to the lack of trust in their games.
The arguement of "1 hour for $10." Na... That's not good. Emika games, Chilla arts, JustTomCGames,HitoriDeGames, TonyShoulders and many others charge less for 2-3 times the ammount of gameplay, are finished, and polished, also just good games in general.
Just hurts me as a streamer when people like this abuse the platform and gives others devs a bad name.
If you also feel the same as me. Please do reach out to Twitch support :

I stumbled upon a "Let´s Play" on YouTube and got curious ...
Almost 2 years since last update and your stern warning ....
Is this project dead or morphed into some kind of Patreon scam ?
Hard to say mate... Either way i wouldnt buy it. Check the comments!
suppposedly, from a comment little over a week ago on his youtube. Hes still working.
This is good to hear, but I do hope hes just set his next update to a greater content than just a episode 2, maybe hes working on adding more chapters for the next update? Not sure. But the game, is NOT radio silent. Just hard to find any news.
All we can do is hope the investment went well. And shift our focus to other things until the time arises, If ever.
sure he's still working.... has been nearly 2 years now. 90% conplete ? Never responded to me regarding the "founders edition."
He is working but NOT ON THIS PROJECT, THIS PAGE HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED in 2 YEARS!, there has been nothing about Part 2 or anything else related to this game. IF he was working on the part 2 and there was a delay ANYONE with a shred of respect for the player base and fans of this project WOULD have said something by now.
ITS A SCAM, avoid. avoid, avoid!
exactly. Especially those that paid extra for it. What's annoyed me even more is Itch.io's support team couldn't be bothered to even respond to my email regarding this. Disappointing to be honest.
I bought the founders edition to this game almost 2 years ago now and there has not been a single addition to this since I purchased it. It is a real shame that I come back this much later and STILL see a founders edition being sold for a game that will never be completed but continues to advertise that it will be.
Do not waste your money on this "game". Until the dev comes out and speaks on why the heck he has been advertising "more to come" without adding anything more for this long. I will continue to drive people away from this game. It stinks of potential scam.
Good for you... Unfortuntley I also paid extra for the "Founders edition." Keep up the good work and hopefully less people will get scammed.
I come back to check if this was ever updated/completed every couple of months. Not even a word from the developer about the state of the game or it's future, now that's incredibly shameful for a dev actually selling their game on a page promising more to come. Hell I would rather him come on here and say "I fuckin gave up on the game, it's never being finished", deleting everything mentioning more to come, and just selling the first chapter as essentially a stand alone short experience with proofs of concept in the menu/inventory. I mean I reported all this to itch.io but I doubt they'll do anything to this page or Adam Dubi Games for falsely advertising.
How do you report it Grunt ? I'd also like to do the same! I also paid for the founders edition
Got it. Didn't realise we could.
Muchas gracias por crear un juego así. Me ha gustado todo: la historia es buenísima, la ambientación es brutal, el suspense es sublime y el terror que se vive en todo momento es simplemente genial. Espero sinceramente que haya una segunda parte, ya que creo que merece mucho la pena. Este juego tiene un trabajo excepcional, así que te he puesto 5 estrellas. Te animo a continuar y sacar una segunda parte. Saludos!!!
Episode 2 ...anytime soon?
dead game?
DEAD
An amazing game and I hope one day it will be finished.
Will this game be added to steam one day?
Hey Mate, any update on the development progress?
Chordosis Beauty
Great, short game. One hour of a really cool, polished experience. Some additional stuff hidden here and there, so it's cool to play it more than once.
I bought this game at the end of 2023, it's a shame that the game is just this short, but I know very well that making a larger product alone is a really difficult process. It's good to remember what empathy is and I know how the creative process can be difficult. I know how many things can go wrong while working on a video game. Believe or not, but a developer is also a human being. That's why I'm shocked that people are berating the author and constantly using the word “scam” - No, it is not a scam and you do not understand the definition of the term. It's a small, one-person project that maybe will be finished, maybe not, deal with it. It's not a crowd funding, you bought a product. You got an hour-long game for $10. No one yells "this is scam! It's not enough!" for David Szymanski's games with a similar price/amount of content.
If the developer has some personal problems I can see why he stopped checking this toxic place with all needy people yelling "scaaaaam" with some guys stalking him on reddit, and other weirdos with no life.
The "People" you are talking about were LIED too. That is why it is a scram. When you pay for the FOUNDERS EDITION you are supposed to get an exclusive episode sown the line. He then in the same paragraph stated CHAPTER 2 IS 90% COMPLETE. It does not take you almost 3 years to update people about the status of the chapter. People that have spent money on the FOUNDERS EDITION for the next chapter mind you. If he sold them the game, without the FOUNDERS EDITION and the promises no one would say it was a scam. Yet, he continues to remain silent, leaves the FOUNDERS EDITION up for purchase with the promises of chap. 2, and worst he is active and actively ignoring people asking about it on Reddit. No one is "Stalking" him, just sending him messages which he doesn't reply to while being active. There is no excuse for not communicating the situation. At least David is making quality content AND communicating with his community he built.
100%. Leaves devs on here a bad name!!!! This is why People won't pay a lot of money for games!
David Szymanski's games are usually finished, and on Steam, a platform with a very different refund system than Itch, that apparently has none. Amazes me that you complained about these "people", being those the ones who actually paid for the game and didn't had a single update, with a 90% complete chapter two for two years...
If you go to a restaurant, pay up front, and they never bring your food, or a delivery gives you 50% of your order, you will let it pass, because the other 50% was "good enough"?
This game is really cool and looks great visually with AMAZING sound design and some pretty good gameplay + story to boot, however it's abandonware, so buy Chap. 1 at your own risk. The 2nd chapter that was supposedly "90% complete" has remained unfinished for about 2 years now (has been like this since I bought the 1st chapter in 2023) and Adam Dubi has been completely silent on the game as a whole when asked by fans about it, all while remaining active on socials like Reddit. Overall, It's a cool experience and I would even say (as a huge alien nerd) that this is probably the best alien horror game I've ever played, so it's unfortunate that it ended up being a scam by the dev Adam Dubi. Just be aware you are buying an unfinished game that will remain unfinished and is VERY short (it is essentially a tech demo, albeit a good one) so don't get too attached to it.
You've got one-hour long game for 10 dollars, how it is a scam?
Because it is supposed to be more than that. That is what was promised when we all bought into it.
Yep... I paid $20 to be lied too... Thankfully I realise not all devs are scum like this... But I imagine a lot of people will be put off by it.
Really.... Most 1 hour long horror games are like $3-4 dollars now for that, let alone random indie titles... Emika games, Chilla arts... Supernatural, supernormal.... This puts a bad name to indie horror devs. Guy should be ashamed of himself!
