Latest Steam announcements

• The Steam page for BLOODVILLE is now live! - 29 August 2025

  After about a year in the oven, BLOODVILLE is nearing the release of it's Demo version, with a full release planned by the end of the year.If you found KARNAL even mildly interesting, I'm sure you'll like what my second Steam game has to offer! Check it out here

• KARNAL 1.5 - 1 December 2024

  Replaced the knife with a kicking ability. Ammo and sprinting are now infinite in the final level. Added a short level before exiting the facility to improve pacing. Added different backgrounds for the Settings and Lost Tapes menus. Fixed several bugs. Disabled texture streaming, as the performance gain was negligible. This will be the final planned update for KARNAL, apart from any necessary bug fixes. I’ll now be focusing on a new game that I’ve been developing, as well as dedicating time to studying. Thank you to everyone who played KARNAL!

• Karnal 1.4 - 27 September 2024

  Added the "Assisted" mode, which gives the player infinite stamina, a health & ammo counter, automatic reloading, and replaces the last level with an alternate ending. Improved the UI a bit. Padlocks are now interacted with using "E".

• Minor Changes & Bug Fixes - 14 September 2024
