In the latest progress report, Kit9 Studios has confirmed that the development of Episode 3 of The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is slowly progressing.

According to Progress Report #5, the limitations encountered with the game editor are being resolved. However, it has not been examined long enough to verify how much longer the development will be delayed. The studio is focused on resolving these issues to continue the work and better enhance the game. 

These delays were first mentioned last month in Progress Report #4. The game editor could only work with a few hundred images and it was recently discovered because they hit the cap. Kit9 Studios found a workaround but it was time-consuming and prone to errors. To work around this, an external cutscene editor was being developed to streamline the process.  

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley is a horror adventure game that blends elements of a psychological thriller with those of a dark comedy. The story follows siblings Andrew and Ashley Graves trying to survive a quarantine by taking drastic measures. 

The game started as a project released on Itch.io before launching on Steam in Early Access. No launch date has been set but the goal is to have a full launch sometime in 2024.
