Infestation: Origins

Infestation: Origins is a self-described episodic co-op horror game from Nightmare Forge Games. It launched into Early Access on November 15, 2024 with two playable episodes, then graduated to its full 1.0 release on September 5, 2025. Episode Three remains unfinished and in active development. The January 23, 2026 patch notes explicitly reference updating Episode Three's selection UI to reveal the antagonist's name, with a parenthetical note: "(Episode still in development)." In the same post, the developer states: "Development is ongoing as we continue working on the game alongside our full-time jobs." This is the most recent developer communication on record, dated January 23, 2026. The game has also received a major content update (Willie's Rage, December 5, 2024), feature patches, and bug fixes since launch, showing consistent post-launch engagement from the team. This is a small indie studio working part-time, and the January 2026 post is the last update — now approximately 20 months before today's date of September 24, 2026. While the silence since January 2026 is notable for a part-time team that had been posting semi-regularly, the developer explicitly confirmed ongoing work in that final post and Episode Three has not shipped, so the outstanding commitment remains open. The silence does not yet clearly indicate a broken cadence given there was no established regular release interval to compare against — the team shipped one major content update in December 2024 and then maintenance patches through January 2026. However, the gap from January 23, 2026 to September 24, 2026 — over eight months with no communication — is long enough to warrant attention for a team that had been communicating through 2024 and early 2026. That said, no distress signals have been posted, and the last statement was one of ongoing development, so the content warning stands without escalating to a risk signal at this time.
