- Endless update and comments about the future! - 19 March 2026
You can now play forever!Hi, Nora from the studio Downstairs here! 🌞First of, 15 000 copies sold??!Thank you all so much! It hasn't even been a year since we released, but we have appreciated everyone's support on this game. I wanna take this post to talk about both the update (duh), but also comment on how our thoughts for the future Endless update When you now finish to pay off all 6 debts (7 with introduction), you will receive an option to either "win" or continue the game. From that point, you will still have 3 days to complete the current quota, but it just gets higher with each pay off! Good luckThe scalability with endless is difficult to balance, but we have gotten this request a lot, so we hope people really can try their communication skills to the edge.Also fixed the boxes colliders in the van, so you don't get stuck - thank you discord #feedback-and-bugs Developer thoughts…

- Storm Update OUT NOW ! - 24 February 2026
⛈️ Storm Update ⛈️We are exited to give you a new content patch for the game! With this patch we focused on improving the round to round gameplay by giving it some variety in weather. But it's not just for visuals, the weather carries effects, both good and bad, that you will need to figure out and adapt accordingly. We also added a NEW MONSTER, a slime to be exact! It will be leaving a track of goo behind that no one would like to step in. And even though it seems to be in pain, don't try to comfort it with a hug, slimes don't like physical contact. We're exited to hear what you think about the update and what more content you like to see in the future. Now go and dive back into the corners of the house, to fight your way out of debt.PATCH NOTESFEATURES3 weather events (wind, rain & storm) that gives each day some flavor.1 NEW slime monster that will put you in a sticky situation.Updat…
- I Unplugged the kids - Wishlist today! - 18 February 2026
I Unplugged the Kids - 🌠Wishlist today🌠In real life, you can't and shouldn't hit or kick children - but in I Unplugged the Kids, you must!In our new game we're leaning into our goofy side and creating a chaotic kindergarten simulator game where the players will be teachers for small robot children. You will have to play, feed and wipe their oil when they leak, but also kick, hit or tase them in order to keep everything in check - it's your choice.See our brand new steam page for the game and help us with a wishlist! We really love this idea and it's what's we've been working lately (expect from the Find or be Found update of course), but we really hope you will love it as well, even with it not being a horror game haha! We are looking forward to create something fun and silly together and for you guys :)If you wanna follow development more up close, you can join and follow us on:Disco…
