Shortest Trip to Earth Patch Notes — October 11, 2025

Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.

Hellloo fellow survivors!

The world has gone crazy but we are back! We can share some Shortest Trip update news soon!

In the meantime, a short summary of Interactive Fate's journey so far, starting with the release of Shortest Trip to Earth (our debut title) in 2019, after 5+ years of development.

Before and after Shortest Trip's development, we also created the cute graphics for Circle Empires (released 2018) and Circle Empires Rivals (released 2020). Both are very accessible fast-paced tactical RTS titles by the fellow Estonian gamedev studio Luminous, popular to this day.

After releasing Shortest Trip, we started work on Artist Life Simulator around 2020. It's a grim yet whimsical survial game featuring art and feelings, partially inspired by (but very different from) the indie title Cultist Simulator.

In short, Artist Life Simulator (released in 2022) is a unique, deeply artistic card-based roguelite about surviving as a starving artist in 19th century alternative history - while trying to create a painting that changes the world.

Fight with depression, poverty, addiction, madness and 66 other mental states of your artist. 18 different endings, including victories like discovering a new, psychedelic color - or losses, such as death by hunger, poverty, alcoholism, madness and so on. Combine inspirations to paint masterpieces, sell them for riches (or scraps) and leave a legacy of your life.

If you haven't heard about it before and don't mind struggling for coin, bread and sanity while trying to change the world then consider checking out the game! it's on -70% sale for 3 more days!

In 2023 we started working on...

...our next project Monster Run: Downfall of the Empire (released it in 2024). It's an asymmetric slasher where players can embody a giant firebreathing (and spellcasting) cat, fighting against massive medieval armies of tiny but evil imperial humans. Amongst the mayhem, the player gets destroy large castles and buildings filled with angry soldiers.

And now, nearing the end of 2025, Interactive Fate is working on something new again...

Thank you for coming with us this far!

P.S. all our games (except Monster Run) are also in the Art of Survival bundle - a collectors bundle where you only pay for the games that you don't have yet.
