Quarantine Zone roadmap & platform demand: PC first, Next Fest demo, console interest

What’s confirmed publicly

• PC first: developer notes prioritize the best possible PC build before considering ports.
• Steam Next Fest: planned participation with a playable demo.
• Playtest signups: early tests available via the Steam store page.
• Failure impact: letting an infected enter sorting/quarantine wipes that block—accuracy is survival.

Platform demand (player feedback)

• Console interest: repeated asks for Xbox/PlayStation; no confirmations yet.
• Handheld UX: Steam Deck users highlight missing “Next” prompts and want better controller onboarding.
• Mobile requests: occasional asks; no signals from the team.
• Pricing & more tests: players want pricing clarity and expanded playtest access.

Developer stance so far: PC first; other platforms considered later.

Polish list (player feedback suggests)

• Inspection teaching: clearer cues for necrosis vs bruises; emphasize hand/eyewear/back-of-head checks.
• Guards & AI: faster reactions during rushes so players aren’t left exposed.
• Quarantine logic: avoid mixing clean and infected; offer segmentation or mandatory re-checks.
• Controls/UX: add prominent “Next” prompts for handhelds; reduce accidental weapon-wheel misfires.

Momentum to watch

• Checkpoint-sim angle is performing well with creators; more coverage could spike interest around demos.
• Players keep asking for more test keys and updated demos—ongoing builds help retain visibility.
