• Working Hard to Resolve Lighting Issues - 18 March 2024

  Some players may have noticed varying levels of darkness in the game, which was caused by a malfunction with the fog during the final stages of development.

Despite efforts to rectify the issue by adjusting the player flashlight, I regret any inconvenience this may have caused for those unable to fully enjoy the experience. I am committed to resolving this issue and will be updating the Unreal Engine from version 5.2 to 5.3 in the hopes of addressing the problem. Thank you for your continued support.
