- Actions and Threats - 29 October 2024
Happy Steam Scream to you fans and fearers of horror (and games that give a good scare) 👻 To commemorate this Halloween, here's presenting two new game mechanics related to a player's perception in the world of MimiCries: 1. Action Indication Whenever the player is near to or facing most objects or points of interest, a floating 'eye-con' will pop up and indicate that it is interactable. 2. Threat Notification In some areas where a harmful entity lurks in wait for the player, a warning message will display on screen for a short duration. Both of these new mechanics require the starting of a new game to take effect, so what better than this spooky occasion to try (or re-live) the MimiCries experience?

- Game Balancing and Player Fortitude - 11 July 2024
For this update, it is by no chance fortuitous that we're bringing another new mechanic into play: the Fortitude Gauge 💗 After many months of deliberation over game balance, this mechanic is now here to make confrontations with most adversaries more manageable, and functions in the following ways: The player starts the game with a full fortitude gauge. Taking hits during adversary encounters reduces this gauge by varying amounts. The player may restore their fortitude by using matches from their inventory or interacting with save points. Additionally, we have also added more clues to one of the more challenging puzzles found in the "Gambling Hall". We hope players who were previously stuck will find these clues helpful 🤝 Feel free to get in touch with us via our Socials, or Email us directly at [email protected] for any inquiries pertaining to the game.
- New Game Mechanic & Achievement - 4 July 2024
