SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE

MIND CONTROL DELETE is a standalone expansion set in the SUPERHOT universe. Its designed as a rogue-like twist on the linear nature of the original SUPERHOT. In its well proven genre-defining format, SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE distills and expands on the same intoxicating rhythm of slow motion combat that has enthralled MINDs all over the world.

The game will force you through dozens of increasingly difficult time-moves-only-when-you-move gameplay challenges. Each of them will make you more powerful and bring you closer to deciphering the secrets hidden from you by the system. As you unlock powerful abilities and gain access to new playable characters, so will your enemies grow stronger, smarter and more desperate to stop you.

Come and join the fray. Play in Early Access. Let the system learn from you.

SUPERHOT rogue-like expansion early access hype! What to expect now?

Were still a good 9-12 months away from a full release, so please dont forget that this is still quite far from a complete, satisfying experience. The current build of MIND CONTROL DELETE is an opportunity for us to invite you to check out the brand new gameplay systems that are going to be the core of the game:

• First 3 playable MINDS, each with its own unique ability and gameplay modifiers.
  
• A kaleidoscope of the first dozen new gameplay levels that mix with the first few dozen combat challenges.
  
• New animation and AI systems to drive new weapons, abilities, and enemy types.
  
• Hitpoint system and power-up store to give you that extra oompf needed to crush your enemies and see them driven before you.
  
• New enemies so that they can strain you quite a bit before you utterly crush them with your unearthly destructive potential.
  
• Procedural rogue-like runs' generation baked into the core gameplay loop, enabling us to tell longer, more complex stories and deliver tons of satisfying skill-based gameplay.

Though MIND CONTROL DELETE is already packed with new mechanics, the limitations for this early access build are not for the faint of heart:

• Not much story as of yet we dont want to spoil too much too quickly so the next few updates will be all about polishing gameplay.
  
• No replay or point system easy bragging about your insane skills will need to wait.
  
• Absolutely no hidden menu minigames yet we have so many new cool ones coming out super soon tho <3

If youre not looking for an incomplete game thats in constant flux and relies on your feedback and creativity to expand, or if youd rather just play a finished experience thats guaranteed to challenge and satisfy your deepest power fantasies, then we totally recommend you should wait until MIND CONTROL DELETE is out of early access.

However, if youre super brave and want to help guide the development in its earliest stages, then go ahead join us, and get your name in the credits!

Why are you putting MIND CONTROL DELETE in early access in the first place tho?

We released the original SUPERHOT in February 2016 after nearly two years of intense creative crunch. The amazing support during the development from our Kickstarter backers and the exhilarating reaction we got from you once the game has been released was simply mind blowing.

With morale at an all-time high, we immediately jumped into a flurry of prototyping and refining gameplay and story concepts that we werent able to fit into the original game. We tested and put a bunch of them to work in virtual reality, and after releasing SUPERHOT VR with even more outstanding support from you guys, we finally had a road map for the first non-VR expansion ironed out in December 2016. In our usual no-compromise approach to design, we made that roadmap way more ambitious than originally anticipated and we decided to make the expansion a fully standalone game, allowing us to rewrite and reimagine all of our major gameplay systems.

The single most important strength of the original SUPERHOT was the amazing involvement of tens of thousands of creative alpha and beta testers that helped us shape and balance the game and drove us to pursue zero compromises in design. Now, while working on MIND CONTROL DELETE, we want to continue this adventure together. Were inviting you to jump in and co-create the game with us. Talk to us, work with us, and lets build the biggest SUPERHOT as of yet together.

Whats the price tag on this? Is this that free DLC you were talking about?

Yup! Way bigger than the usual kind of free DLC though, so it'll take a bit longer to release. If you own the original SUPERHOT on Steam now or buy it while MIND CONTROL DELETE is still in Early Access, youll get the full expansion for free once its finished and released.

However if you cant wait to work with us, and you feel like bravely facing rough edges and helping shape the game as it develops, then well be thrilled to have you sign your name under a piece of SUPERHOT history and join us in Early Access right now.

Once MIND CONTROL DELETE releases in earnest, it will be priced same as the other SUPERHOT games for everyone whos still new to the franchise.

FAQ

Should I buy MIND CONTROL DELETE if I havent played the original SUPERHOT?
Not right now. The game will be a totally standalone experience in a few updates, but the lack of clear structure and story right now would be confusing for newcomers. Definitely get the original SUPERHOT though. Its lots of fun.

Whats the update roadmap?
Were new to Early Access, but were hoping to use your feedback and collaboration to drive and guide the development. We have a bunch of large features in the pipeline that were dropping on livestream updates every few weeks, including balance and feature updates released on a monthly / bi-monthly schedule.
