False Alarm

False Alarm is now available on Steam, marking the end of what developer scattereddisc describes as a long development period.

What's in the full game

The release announcement outlines the core pillars of the experience:

  • Stealth-focused level design
  • Distraction mechanics
  • Improvised knockouts
  • Objects to steal throughout each level

A demo preceded the full launch, and scattereddisc credited players who tried it, submitted feedback, wishlisted the title, or followed development with helping bring the project to completion.

For those who followed the game through its demo phase, the full release is now accessible on Steam.
