• Engine Upgrade (?) and update progress - 23 June 2026

  What's going on everybody? A few weeks ago something strange happened to the project, I don't know if there was an issue with my computer or with the engine or what it was but there was an issue that was no longer allowing me to open the project in the engine that I was using. So I made the decision to upgrade the engine from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5!

• What's going on with the game? - 16 September 2025

  Took some extra time to work on the content update and it has been well worth it! I've overhauled and added a lot of things in the game, changed the controls just a bit and fixed a lot of code. The ghosts can now hear the players actions and I've been working on distraction items and other things that can make noise, that is still being ironed out. Blood has been added to the game too and I'm planning on doing more with that too. That's just a few things I could think of off the top of my headThere's so much that is going to change in the game with the next update and I'm really excited! Stay tuned!
