Just cause you're dead doesn't mean you can't be pretty. We added all new cosmetics because these skeletons rock the beanie look, and we weren't going to deny them…
- Cosmetic Enchantment Update + Oculus Support - 10 May 2021
We've patched some known issues and added a special new set of gameplay effects to each hand cosmetic. Cosmetic Enchantment Effects: Each hand cosmetic will provide a passive bonus during gameplay. For example, the Barkeeps Gloves increase your drink fill rate by 25% per hand, Lazy Larry's Helping Hands earn you +2g per skelly shot, the list continues. Mix and match both hands or double down on a cosmetic enchantment for double the effect (+50% drink fill, +4g per shot). One additional hand cosmetic has been added as well, The Tomblord's Phantom Phalanges (eek!). Oculus Quest Controller Support: We'd received numerous reports of Oculus players experiencing issues with button mapping actions in-game. We're very thankful to IronWolfajw, RudimentaryRecall, and everyone in addition who reported this issue to us. These Oculus compatibility issues have now been resolved. Misc. Additions: We'v…

- Coffin Rot OST Now Available! - 17 March 2020
Ahoy! I'm Bear, the programmer and composer on Coffin Rot VR. I spent the last two years recording my own original soundtrack for Coffin Rot Brewing Co. Along with this being my first published VR title, it was also my first time publishing my music. The album is influenced by improv jazz, traditional Irish folk, classical guitar, and by styles of artists like Ween and Grant Kirkhope. Everything was recorded using a Blue Yeti and mixed using Soundtrap, Spotify's online studio platform (which I highly recommend).

- Coffin Rot Brewing Co. Update (10/9/2019) - 9 October 2019
Hello there, fellow bartenders! With the upcoming beta and launch date, we figured we should start providing progress on where we are and where we plan to be. For starters, a beta build has been submitted and is awaiting approval. This means anyone signed up for the beta will have a chance to play it this upcoming Friday and help shape the future of Coffin Rot! There's a lot of balancing that needs to be done before our launch date this winter, and with your help, we'll be able to hit that mark on the head. We have 3 of the 4 enemy types implemented for the beta test now, with the only one missing being the Necromancer. The Necromancer is the leader of the undead horde and has mastered the art of reanimation. Without him being destroyed, hordes of Juju floaters will be spawned from the corpses of enemies to wreak havoc on your gold stash. Destroy him at all costs. The Debt Collector bos…

- Winter 2019 Launch Date - 21 August 2019
Hey everyone! It's been awhile since we've posted an update, and we've been quiet for good reason. After much deliberation, Nooner Bear has decided to push the launch of Coffin Rot Brewing Co. back until Winter 2019. While it wasn’t an easy choice, we feel that it’s necessary to make our game the best it can be. We owe that not only to our fans, but ourselves as well. The reality that came with choosing such a close launch is that we didn't leave much wiggle room for play-testing, bug fixes, and a nice coat of polish. While we like the progress that Coffin Rot is making, it just needs a few more months of special care and attention. We will need a few more weeks to finish development before we can start beta testing, but we are now able to guarantee it in our schedule. Stay tuned for when we announce the dates of our beta test. We appreciate your patience. Launch day is still close on t…
