And when u telled anyone that the remaster/remake or whatever it is will be needed to be buyed again? At least at steam i didnt see anything about it, maybe i missed it.
Oh and one thing, i was wrong on my earlier post where i said i buyed the game before the news of the new one yep

it was on January of this year when i buyed it, dont know why i was so sure it was before
You mean when did I say it was going to be
free? Because I never did. You assumed that on your own. I mentioned multiple times throughout development that this would be a separate game, incompatible with old saves, and that I was working on setting up a new Steam page for it, and so on. It’s not like this was only mentioned for the first time on a pirate forum in April 2025, right?
If I were trying to hide it, you wouldn’t even be getting a response to your question, so let’s be fair here. Sure, I could’ve communicated some things better, but this is my first project. I’m a game dev, not a PR guy. And I could’ve done things the shady way to earn more money, but I didn’t, and the development process has been more transparent than the majority of games I’ve seen.
Also, Steam is pretty restrictive in what I’m allowed to do. That’s one of the reasons I have to release a second version of the game there. For example, they don’t allow me to include a Patreon logo in the main menu, I can’t mention upcoming discounts, I haven’t received the Steam Deck compatibility badge, I can’t launch the Steam page for the new version yet to help clear up confusion, and so on.
And while I really appreciate the support and purchase, the EX version is just a bonus and a way to support me further, and it’s not essential to enjoy the game. I wouldn’t say the game costs $18. It costs $6 and already offers a lot of content. I know some people expected 1000 hours of gameplay for a few bucks, but good luck getting that from a solo-developed open-world project.
Also, as a side note, it was announced last year that the game wouldn’t even have a v43 because it was considered finished, and yet, I’ve already announced v44 and v45 coming later this year. And no, I’m not increasing the price of the game.
Lastly, I will be offering a small discount for people who bought the original game on Steam, but I’m still figuring out how that system works. This is my first Steam release, so a lot of it is still new to me, and I can't give more details just yet.
And yet again - thanks for the support, even if I didn't meet your expectations.
Hopefully UiTC:R will have a Free Roam mode as well? That's one thing about this game that I find refreshing, no need to worry about story deadlines looming in the background.
Yes, UiTC:R will still keep its open-world and free-roam style, and the storylines won’t interfere with that. The main storyline will revolve around the upcoming elections, which take place in 100 days. You’re not required to participate, and you can ignore them entirely. The world itself doesn’t care much about Jane; she’s not a superhero destined to save the world, but just a girl moving to The City. While her actions can have a ripple effect, the elections will still happen, and the world will move on without her involvement. Naturally, completing or failing the storyline will have consequences, but there won’t be any game overs (unless specifically stated in a quest).
