- Update v1.2 - SHUT UP: Patch Notes - 18 October 2021
Maybe somewhere in that dark little house, there's room for a little growth... It's time to SHUT UP. The final major content update for SHUT IN is here, bringing you the most definitive, depressing, disappointing version of everyone's least favorite comedy / horror game, with a whole bunch of new features to discover... If you're willing to work for them. Patch Notes: New area: Attic A whole new floor, with a host of items and secrets requiring patience, hard work, and... actually this is all sounding like a lot of effort. You probably can't be bothered filling this empty place with decorations. You definitely can't be bothered keeping that plant alive. And whatever's behind that boarded up doorway can probably wait until tomorrow. Right? New items There's an awful lot of junk up there. Some of it seems useful. Some of it just looks nice. But at least that's better than nothing. And tha…
- SHUT IN Update v1.2: SHUT UP - Delayed until Monday 18 Oct! - 7 October 2021
Just a quick announcement to say that, unfortunately, due to unforeseen difficulties, the release date for SHUT UP has been delayed for a couple of days, just to iron out a few more kinks. Once again, some things take time. And this update is certainly no exception. But you can all still look forward to a bunch of brand new free content on Monday 18th October! Thanks for the patience everybody! Happy spooky month!
- SHUT IN Update v1.2: SHUT UP - Coming Friday 15 Oct! - 21 September 2021
Tired of living in such a messy home? Does your tired old decor need an update? Maybe that's what you need to get out of this rut. Maybe this will fix all of your problems! The next major content update for SHUT IN will be releasing on Friday 15th October, and you can expect plenty of small changes and pointless distractions as you ride the slow train to another mundane death! Some things take time. And you'd better hope you've got plenty of it if you want to experience everything the Attic has to offer. New rooms, items, deaths, features, and another two incredible tracks from the wonderful Luc Wilkinson will be ready to explore - if you've got the patience. Nobody said home improvement was easy. Fresh water, old smells, new life, painful memories, dust, dirt and ~disappointment~ await upstairs, in the fusty tomb of a life that may have once been worth living. Also, as this is a sizabl…
- SHUT IN Update v1.2 - SHUT UP: Coming Soon! - 1 July 2021
The next major content update is coming soon, featuring more new rooms, items, and features designed to make your stay inside feel a little more... organic. There are lots of things to do in your newly expanded home, and it's about time you thought about something other than yourself for a change, don't you? New area: Attic Head upstairs, and SHUT UP. There's an awful lot of stuff up here, and it will take forever to get through it all. It's going to take some serious patience to find all the secrets this place has to offer, and yet, for all this clutter, you swear you're missing some things. New ending Hopefully you'll be rewarded for your efforts. Somehow. There can't be any way out of your house up there, so what benefit could all that trouble really be for? You probably shouldn't bother. You should probably just SHUT UP. New items Did I mention the clutter? You really need to clean…
- Update v1.1 - SHUTDOWN: Patch Notes - 22 May 2021
It's here. And it's not happy... SHUTDOWN, our first major content update, is finally LIVE! After a lot of hard work, I can proudly announce (regrettably warn against) a grim variety of brand new content, that even the most die hard SHUT IN fans might find... a little bleak. Don't say you weren't warned. Patch Notes: New area: Basement Three new rooms await down in the depths of the house. But that's about as far from your front door as you can get. Resist temptation, or let your curiosity get the better of you, and plunge down into the depths of... wait, what even is this place? New items But to get there, you'll need a little electrical assistance. A new item is in the house that can grant you access to the basement, which hides an even more elusive treasure within. New ending Keep going far enough, and you might find a way out. Although, it might not be what you were expecting. Or ma…
- SHUT IN: SHUTDOWN - Release Date Confirmed! - 2 May 2021
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E0YqGbZWUAEy3oX?format=jpg&name=medium Excited (and maybe a little terrified) to announce the official release date of SHUT IN's first major content update: SHUTDOWN, which will be coming to get you from Saturday 22nd May! Just who says you need fresh air, anyway? There must be more to explore in this cozy little house. Follow the painstaking steps to self-improvement and head outside, or abandon all hope and delve into the Basement for new rooms, items, a whole new horrible fate, and more atmospheric music from the incredibly talented Luc Wilkinson's experimental horror soundscape Void, Now. Expect pipes, steam, rust, fire, cracks, dark, danger, denial, and a highly suspicious buzzing jar. There's still a lot of work to be done, and an ~optimistic~ time frame for it all, but progress is coming along steadily and I'm super excited to share more of SHUT IN wit…
- SHUT IN Update v1.1 - SHUTDOWN: Coming Soon! - 16 April 2021
Exciting news for all of you sad sad SHUT IN fans out there, a new major content update is coming soon! Response to SHUT IN has been great thus far, and to celebrate its modest success, you deserve a little something for your trouble. Planned features include: New area: Basement There's something lurking, deeper and darker in the depths of the house. But it's probably nothing to worry about. Ignore the strange noises coming from below, or ignore your better judgement and investigate what lies beneath. Face new dangers, solve new puzzles, and wonder just how bad things can really get... New ending? But that's just the basement. There can't be a way out down there. That's about as far from fresh air as you can get. You can't just keep spiraling downwards for nothing... right? New items New tools and toys to help (or hinder) your progress as you make your way through the house. Sacrifice y…
