Evaluation
Project Vostok: Episode 1 is a free horror visual novel that released on July 19, 2022. The game was always structured as the first episode in a multi-part series, and the store description references a planned January 2023 release date for what appears to be a content update or episode release.
On February 26, 2024, the developer posted an announcement teasing a new bridging chapter set before the events of Episode 2, and explicitly confirmed that Episode 2 is in the works. This is the only developer news post on record.
However, as of June 22, 2026 — more than two years after that announcement — neither the teaser chapter nor Episode 2 has appeared, and the developer has made no further public communications. This extended silence, with no update, explanation, or revised timeline, makes it impossible to confirm whether development is still actively progressing. The story remains unfinished and the promised follow-up content is overdue with no word from the studio.
Evidence
Developer announced a new teaser chapter to bridge events into Episode 2, explicitly naming Episode 2 as an upcoming release. This is the last official communication from the developer.
Store description references an expected January 2023 release date for the free first episode, indicating the game was always designed as a multi-episode series with more content to follow.

About this game
"Project Vostok" is a non-linear horror visual novel about a group of airplane crash survivors finding a mysterious Soviet-era bunker in Russian mountains.
A plane flying from Moscow to Barnaul crashes in the Altai Mountains because of a crew error. Almost two dozen strangers are left there to survive. An indefinite list of their problems includes injuries, lack of food, risk of being frozen to death, and conflicts inside the group.
Things take a massive shift when the survivors find an abandoned Soviet bunker built in a cave. Warm rooms and an abundance of supplies lead them to move to this mysterious location. However, it soon turns out that all the problems they have encountered earlier were nothing compared with what is awaiting them now.
Expected release date of the free first episode is 11 of January 2023.
