After several weeks of prep, spreadsheet battles, and “are we REALLY doing this?” moments, our Kickstarter preview page for Before Closure is now public! 🎉

The campaign officially launches on Feb 11, 2026 — and yes, we’re also dropping a playable Steam Next Fest demo the same day.

We’re a newly graduated team, and Before Closure has been our “let’s prove we can actually ship a game” project.

We’re genuinely proud of what we made — and now we want to take it out of the cozy dev bubble and see how it lands in the real world (gulp). If we learn a lot along the way… that’s the plan. If we cry a little… also possible.

But there’s one more thing we want to do right before release:

✨ An “Epilogue” mode (working title) + final rounds of polish.

Think of it as the last page after you’ve closed the book — the quiet part that answers:
What happens after closure?
How does Murph step into new beginnings once the main story ends?

It’s small, but it matters — and we’ll share more details soon!

✅ Kickstarter campaign goes live (we hit the big red button)
✅ Steam demo releases for Steam Next Fest
✅ We’ll also reveal the game’s final price (yes, we’re still negotiating with reality)

In the coming days, we’ll post a developer log about the game’s core interaction tech + design approach — aka:

“How we made this weird little thing work.” 🛠️✨

(Seriously. We’re holding your hand while we do this.)

Hello everyone,

The winter break and New Year are just around the corner. 🎄We hope you are all well!

We believe this is the perfect time to share our first official trailer and give you a proper introduction to the atmosphere and core mechanic of Before Closure (right before our own holiday break :p).

🎬 Watch the Before Closure First Official Trailer:

Feel free to share your thoughts and reactions to the trailer in the comments below! We love reading what you think.

We'll be sharing a series of Developer Logs over the coming weeks to take you behind the scenes of how this deeply personal game is being made, including the technical challenges of the eye-tracking interaction.

We Need Your Help to Unpack the Box!

Our game is meeting its finish line, but to ensure the final polish and a successful launch, we need a little extra support to bring it across the line. We are currently planning a crowdfunding campaign (details coming soon!) to help us complete development and deliver the best possible experience. Your support will be crucial in making Before Closure a reality.

🎁 Until then, thank you for being here with us.

Wishlist Before Closure if you haven't already, and take care.

—The Before Closure team
