- Море волнуется раз: Обзор Crisol: Theater of Idols - 10 March 2026
Пока весь мир сходил с ума от Resident Evil Requiem , я проходил Crisol: Theater of Idols от испанской студии Vermila . Это новый проект от издательского бренда Blumhouse , однако его сложно назвать хоррором. Игра очевидно вдохновлена BioShock , но авторы привнесли в нее элементы испанской культуры, скомбинировав с лавкрафтианскими мотивами.
- Ultrawide screen is fixed! - 4 March 2026
Hi everyone, we’ve fixed the ultrawide screen support for 3440 × 1440 resolutions.Please take a look and let us know if everything is now working as expected.Thank you very much for all your help.
- Ultrawide screen support issues - 4 March 2026
It seems some players are reporting that the 3440x1440 resolution option does not appear in the settings menu, although the game still correctly uses the monitor’s resolution when playing. If you are still experiencing issues, try switching between Fullscreen and Borderless Window.It appears that 32:9 resolutions are not affected by this issue.We are currently investigating why it does not appear visually in the settings and will try to fix it as soon as possible.Thank you for your patience.

- Hotfix 1.0 Live! - 21 February 2026
Hey all, thanks for your patience as we work towards addressing the feedback since launch. This initial hotfix aims to address some of the more urgent issues, and we're already hard at work on the next one.Patch Notes Loading Screen Added A loading screen has been implemented to make players aware that the game is still running when level loading takes longer than expected. This resolves the issue where some players were seeing a black screen with the HUD visible in the top-left corner during loading. Demo Save Compatibility Fix We’ve implemented a fix to prevent residual demo autosave files from being loaded when pressing Continue in the main menu. Previously, this could result in a black screen because those demo autosaves were not compatible with the full release. With this fix: Autosaves created before 2/10/26 will no longer be read.However, if you generated a new demo autosave afte…

- Crisol: Theatre of Idols (PS5) Review - 14 February 2026
Crisol: Theatre of Idols is the kind of game that doesn’t present its best self the second you get into the world for the first time. Not because it reinvents survival horror , and not because it’s telling some deeply layered narrative that’s going to stick with you for years, but because it understands that tension works best when it costs you something. In Crisol: Theatre of Idols , every bullet costs you blood. And blood is your health. It’s such a simple idea on paper, but in practice, it changes the entire rhythm of how you approach combat. You play as Gabriel, a soldier sent to the cursed island of Tormentosa in a twisted version of Spain that leans heavily into religious visuals and grotesque folklore. The world is filled with these horrible towering statues, warped building architecture, and enemies that look like they were carved from marble and then made come to life. It has s…
- THANK YOU + Bug Fixes Coming - 11 February 2026
Everyone, THANK YOU so much for the fantastic support of Crisol's launch. We love to see the detailed reviews, both positive and negative. This feedback is helping the dev team work on patches and updates to the game that will arrive soon.We have noted a few bug reports, one of which we are deploying a hotfix for very soon. It is related to people that played the demo on Steam, which seems to be interfering with some save files and causing a freeze. If you experience a freeze or black screen while loading a save, and played the demo, here is a solution while we test the hotfix:• Enable viewing hidden folders in Windows.• Disable Steam Cloud temporarily (until after the first autosave).• Go to: C:\\Users\\YOURUSERNAME\\AppData\\Local\\CRToiPrototype\\Saved\\SaveGames• Replace YOURUSERNAME with the actual Windows username.• Delete everything inside that folder.After the first autosave is…
