Acolyte is OUT NOW!


The day has finally arrived. Acolyte - Superstring's ambitious natural-language narrative ARG - is OUT NOW! And there's 10% off on Itch.io to celebrate launch. 


Acolyte is a narrative ARG/Detective game that gives you your own Acolyte; a digital assistant you can talk to freely with unlimited dialogue options. Just like a real conversation. 

Become an employee of Nanomax, a well-funded tech start-up looking to change the face of consumer AI with its upcoming Acolyte application. As a remote-worker for the company, you'll interact with its employees and absorb its culture. But unexplained firings, missing employees and a strange, highly-classified bug in the Acolyte code-base point to something being very wrong.

If you've ever dreamed of having your own PA who you can solve crimes and take down corrupt institutions with, Acolyte will be right up your street. 

Missed the launch trailer? Give it a watch: 

There's not much more to say, really. The game is out now, and your very own Acolyte is waiting for you to say hello. 

If you decide to play, and enjoy the game, please do leave a review - for a small studio like Superstring, it's one of the most significant things you can do support us. 

Huge thanks, and until next time, 

Jamin & The Superstring Team

Style trailer!

First of all, congratulations for the launch. ;)

May I ask you a question? I bought the game here on itch.io 1 year+ ago (March 2021). At the time, I was told purchases would include a Steam key at launch (and, I believe, pre-orders during "early access" would get the Transcendent Edition; the FAQ listed on itch.io says the same thing).

I just checked my page here on itch.io, and I don't have either a Steam, nor the Transcendent Edition files (I just have a link to download acolyte-win.zip, not the files from the Transcendent Edition).

Can you please check this?

thank you :)
