Which one
EP.0 compared with the full game
Checked 2026-10-18
If you already finished the prologue, this is the list of what the paid game adds that I can source. It is not a reason to pirate the rest.
I lined up the 13 November 2024 EP.0 announcement against Steam's achievement totals: 11 then, 25 on app 2680280 now. NoFrag's review is the only place I have seen a chapter count, about 8 hours and 18 chapters on normal. The developer has not published a chapter table, so I am labeling that 18 as a press figure.
Side by side
Devlog 4 (2 October 2025) is first-party: ordinary paperclips buy heals, ammo, armor, weapons, and eventually a skill point. Gold paperclips come from secrets and feed an upgrade tree. That shop is a full-game system. I do not have a verified EP.0 shop.
The story note I will repeat, from secondary writeups of EP.0, is that the prologue ends on the connection to the Host. I have not played that ending myself. Treat it as a cited summary on the lore page.
| EP.0 | Full game | |
|---|---|---|
| Shipped | 14 Nov 2024, free | 9 Oct 2026, paid |
| Size | 6 missions | Press: about 18 chapters |
| Achievements | 11 | 25 |
| Store status | Closed to new owners | On sale |
| Economy | Clips, no shop in the prologue notes | Devlog 4: shop clips and gold clips |
Questions I keep getting
Is the full game just EP.0 plus levels?
It is a paid game with its own 25 achievements and the clip shop from the devlogs. It is not a free update to app 3008200.
Should I buy it if I liked EP.0?
That is your call. The store page and the review snapshot are the evidence, not a score from me.
