- Update 1.4 - Halloween Update - 25 October 2022
Happy (early) Halloween to everyone itching for spooks and scares! A brand new update has released in conjunction with the festivities, providing a whole new movement mode to play through An Uninvited Guest. *NEW* WASD Movement Mode Point and click can be a niche appeal for some. I'd like to cater to a larger audience by introducing a entirely new movement mode to hide and escape from The Guest's intrusion. The entire game of An Uninvited Guest can now be played with the standard WASD movement that majority of games utilize in the modern age. The movement mode can be changed from the main menu in the new 'Difficulty and Movement Options' section. (Difficulty has also been moved to here instead of the general options menu) New difficulty and movement options menu With WASD movement, objects are interacted with by right clicking to enter interaction mode. Interaction mode draws parallels…

- A Teeny Bit of News for Next Month? - 20 September 2022
Hey everyone, been a while! I've been hard at work trying to get the first chapter of The Suits Have Gone Mad out as soon as possible. It has been coming along slowly for the time being so I don't feel prepared to announce anything more about it just yet. To keep the eager beavers entertained, another large update to An Uninvited Guest is in the works. The next update will be adding a whole new movement mode. This mode follows the more traditional and standard WASD movement that everyone has grown accustomed to. This will be an optional choice for players to play through the entirety of An Uninvited Guest. Adding a new movement requires heavy modification to the foundations that the game is built on, which is posing to be quite the time-consuming task. It will release next month, right on time with the rest of the spooky festivities of Halloween. I hope you look forward to the next upda…
