Hi EFS19 enthusiasts!
We have some amazing news to share with you! We’ve finally received confirmation that Escape from Site 19 will soon be back in stock! Better yet, if you live in Europe, you should even be able to play it by the beginning of 2025!
However, we are aware that you’ve been waiting a long time without updates on this matter, so we feel we owe you an explanation… Why has it taken almost a year to restock EFS19?
Well, it all started back in 2023, when the game suddenly sold out! As such, we needed a reliable and efficient manufacturer to help restore our depleted stocks. So we reached out to the Indie Game Alliance, who recommended a well-known and trusted company. And we decided to give them a go.
To begin with, our collaboration went very smoothly. One major benefit was that we were able to cut the cost of production, which allowed us to drastically reduce the purchase price of the game itself.
But then, in early 2024, when production was at the RFP/RFQ stage, our relationship with the manufacturer took a turn for the worse. Communication dried up, and when it eventually came it was unclear, inconsistent, and confusing. But we weren’t the only ones having issues. The IGA contacted us to say other suppliers were experiencing the exact same thing…
We decided to give the manufacturer the benefit of the doubt, waiting until Summer 2024. By then, however, we felt we had delayed long enough, so we started looking for a new manufacturer. And luckily, we found one! For now, the new collaboration is going great – the communication is quick and easy, we’ve already received samples of the game, and we’re currently in the middle of the manufacturing process!
So we’re confident EFS19 will be back in stock very shortly!
Once again, apologies for the delays and thank you for your patience.
Stay tuned for more updates about the restock!
