The game was originally a mix between Siren Head and Silent Hill P.T, the project took shape as an interactive horror game. However, the original concept was scrapped resulting in the abandonment of the initial game design. This development led to a temporary pause of the game's progress.

The hiatus didn't last long, as a new and innovative idea emerged, born from the depths of a fever-dream nightmares. This vivid dream served as the catalyst for a paradigm shift in VAGUE's direction, steering it towards the realm of survival horror, enriched with hidden cryptic elements. Drawing inspiration from the atmospheric and psychological aspects of Silent Hill, PT, Resident Evil, and Petscop . The development of VAGUE unfolded using Unity as its primary framework, while the audio engineering aspect was entrusted to FMOD, lending an immersive auditory experience to the horror narrative. Despite the earlier aspiration to release the game on November 17, 2023, the developer made a strategic decision to postpone the launch by a year. The final release date, set for November 17, 2024.
