Sketches of the cut version of β€œBath day” πŸ›πŸ‘οΈ

Today we want to share an old idea that never made it into the game.

Remember the β€œBath Day” scene with the Overseer? Originally, we planned to expand that moment much further.

The idea was that he wouldn’t remain the only observer. Over time, other inhabitants of the ship were meant to take part in the scene β€” turning it into an episode of a completely different scale.

We even started working on the visuals and made the first line arts.

But at some point, it became clear this would require a whole separate direction of its own. In the end, we decided to focus on the main story.

The scene itself stayed in the game in a more compact form β€” while this version became part of the archive.

I would love to have seen what your overall ideas were and how they impacted the main story. Sounds super spicey and intriguing. O.O'

Glad you found it interesting πŸ™‚ At the time we came up with that idea, we were already planning Chapter 3 and introducing the Zerg leaders which meant bringing in around 7 new characters. We realized it would already be a lot to handle, so adding an Overseer (or more) on top of that risked overloading the story and characters. There were definitely ideas to connect the Overseer with some of the more experimental content, but in the end we decided to keep the focus tighter.
