• Halloween DLC Sales Suspension and Event Update Notice - 30 October 2024

  Hello, this is the Spectral Scream development team. We have received many concerns from our users regarding the Halloween DLC released today. We would like to provide you with an update on the situation. Initially, we planned to release both the Halloween event and DLC simultaneously on Friday, October 25th. Our design intention was to allow players with sufficient time to earn items through gameplay, while offering the DLC as an alternative option for those with limited time. However, due to our lack of experience with Steam releases, we failed to properly estimate the DLC review period. As a result, while the Halloween event began on Friday, October 25th, the Halloween DLC launched on Wednesday, October 30th. After careful consideration of user feedback, we have made the following decisions: DLC Sales Suspension and Refund - We are immediately discontinuing sales of the Halloween eve…
