• Fix for Achievements - 2 July 2025

  Hey, we've had some reports recently that some achievements weren't working after the latest game update.I've had a look into this and it was an issue on the Steam backend where unfortunately when adding the new Chinese translations for achievements some were added in the wrong place. This meant that when the game tried to unlock that achievement (when playing in any language) it wasn't able to.The achievements impacted by this were:LumberjackOverkillHeartbrokenPostwomanIndecisiveThe fix is now live and Heartbroken, Postwoman and Indecisive should automatically unlock next time you load a save file where these events have occurred as their progress is included in your save data. For Lumberjack and Overkill you would need to redo the requirement for these in combat, sorry about that. There isn't a patch for the game as it's a backend Steam fix for this. After making the fix I closed and…

• Neon-soaked survival horror Sorry We're Closed is a true sequel to Silent Hill 2 - 24 December 2024

  It's easy to reduce Sorry We're Closed to a checklist of Silent Hill 2-isms. Fixed camera angles? Check. Psychosexual monster design? Check. Filthy, rust-eaten environments? Check. However, like the celestial beings that make up its cast, this familiar visage is only skin-deep. Whereas others seek to replicate the formula to pay homage or to recreate it for modern audiences, indie studio À La Mode is incomparably brave. This scion stands before the sacred cow that birthed it and dares to continue the conversation that Silent Hill 2 began two decades ago. Read the rest of the story...

• Controller Aiming Improvements and New Aim Assist Options - 22 December 2024

  Today’s patch updates controller sensitivity, smoothness and adds an adjustable aim assist feature for targeting enemy weak points. This is an update I’ve been working on for several weeks with the goal of improving play when using a controller. Aiming should be smoother and we’re hoping it makes for a comfortable experience when playing with a controller. The “Weak Point Aim Assist” will help with aiming at enemy weak points while using the third eye, it has low, medium and high settings. You can combine it with the existing “Weak Point Stickiness” setting which helps to keep weak points targeted once the reticle is over them. Feature: New “Weak Point Aim Assist” setting available in “Settings” > “Accessibility” Adjustment: Smoother controller aiming Adjustment: Slightly higher default controller sensitivity (your existing setting won’t be changed if you already started playing). You c…

• Patch Notes for 20th November 2024 - 20 November 2024

  Hey, today I have fixed some bugs and made a couple of adjustments. Bug Fix: fixed potential for offscreen player to walk off a ledge and be killed during the credits sequence Bug Fix: fixed the aquarium generator room relocking if you previously completed it, saved, loaded and re-entered the room Bug Fix: under certain circumstances the player could spawn on the lower floor of the aquarium generators after completing the sequence on the upper floor Bug Fix: an animation for the cutscene after the 2nd boss did not play correctly Bug Fix: towards the end of the 3rd level it was possible to block progression by speaking to the eyesore, saving and loading again before passing the eyesore (he would not reopen his eye). If you have encountered this issue you’ll be able to load your save and the eyesore will reopen the next time you speak to him Bug Fix: under certain circumstances the repent…
