Release date
December 15 2014


Submachine: FLF (also known as FLFHD) is an HD remake of Submachine: Future Loop Foundation. It was released on December 15, 2014[1]. This game was originally called a "Redux HD version" of Submachine: Future Loop Foundation[2]. For the sake of clarity, this game is often referred to as FLFHD while the original game is known as SubFLF.

Plot

This game takes place in the fifth-layer version of Submachine: Future Loop Foundation, as stated by Mateusz Skutnik. It is unknown whether this game takes place before, after, or during SubFLF. The plot to FLFHD is very similar to that of SubFLF. However, any references of Future Loop Foundation (the band originally promoted in the first game) are removed and the game contains more references to the Submachine Universe. The unidentified player (not necessarily the main Player) wakes up in the ward similarly to SubFLF and travels to the memory bank. It is noted that the HD versions of these locations are different from the versions found in SubFLF.

Along the way the player notices pictures and objects that evokes past memories that belong to an unspecified person before solving the final puzzle.

The game's screen edges are square, just like every other game besides the original SubFLF. In addition to slight lighting and shadow improvements, more rooms, items and puzzles have been added. The following section lists the major differences found in FLFHD in the two main locations.

The Ward

Architecture/item changes

  • The paper over the padded room changes combination each playthrough instead of constantly appearing as 3218.
  • The metal plaque over the storage area now reads "MORGUE".
  • A room was added to the right of the room with the Space Hopper. This room further reflects the Stone loop architecture. It contains a large wide semicircular stone pedestal with slots for Memory Seals. A circular middle compartment hold the movie reel.
  • In the floor above, a rope now connects the vertical tunnel to the adjacent rock face, which is split to reveal a rock tunnel leading left. The tunnel spans a few screens before spilling into a digout that contains a picture and a key to collect. The red wall exposed in the back has a lit red candleholder and runes exactly like those in the Pyramid.
  • Instead of showing an older woman when the slide projector is turned on, the projected image is a black and white photo of a young woman.

The Memory Bank

Architecture/item changes

  • While crossing from the Ward to the Memory Bank, a Layer-changing sound has been added.
  • The landing screen now contains a door that leads to a bluish-purple two-screen room. Along with two chairs, the room contains a revised picture as well as a device holding one of the two memory seals.
  • In the third screen on the top floor, a panel to insert a dimmer into has been added.

Development and history

On December 8, 2014, Mateusz posted a Facebook update explaining that he was almost done with the "redux version of Submachine: FLF"[3], calling it "basically a new game". He responded to a following post confirming that the game would include real-life photos like the original SubFLF.

On December 13, Skutnik stated in another Facebook post that the game would be released on Monday, December 15 at around 8 am CET[4].

The game was released on-schedule and is available for $1.00 through Skutnik's online store.
