  Nomination in the Japan Horror Game Awards 2026I just found out by a random twitter post that AUTO-CRISIS was nominated in the Japan Horror Game Awards 2026!I'm not a social network kind of guy so I must have missed that...I can't emphasis how much it means for such a small creator like me to be nominated in this event, alongside big titles like Silent Hill F and Cronos: The New Dawn.Unfortunately, it seems I have noticed too late of this nomination and the polls are closed.Nomination in Creature Design Category (Spoiler!)The nomination for the game is in the category "Creature Design" and concerns specifically "Motherlight", the last creature encountered in the game.The game must have made enough of an impression for it to be noticed! Results on September 11th 2026.Thank you all that liked the game and left a review or talked about it for this nomination to be possible. The results of…

• "Better Stamina" Update 1.1.0 - 9 September 2025

  This is the biggest patch yet, I hope it adresses the last issues some players found with the game!STAMINA CHANGES :There is now a color indication when the stamina is about to be depleted, and if you succeed in saving your stamina, there is a green colored indication that you succeeded. This will hopefully communicate the stamina system better.If you stops just before it depletes, you have a really small bonus of resplenishment (the bar is light green)Stamina values tweaked. It is regained way faster if not fully depleted, but also it punishes you slightly longer if you deplete it. The delay before gaining stamina back if you don't deplete it fully is now reduced by about 55%."Stamina depleted" sound is now 40% lower (I think nobody likes that sound)Stamina in AUTO-CRISIS was a source of frustration or not fun for some players. Initially I didn't want to include such a system in the ga…

However, if you deplete it, your stamina takes more time to resplenish.Changed the "stamina depleted" sound to be more discreet and not sound like an old guy wheezing (sorry)Fixed an issue where the lightning wouldn't render light flashes in low settings.The early parts of the game are now more challenging."PARKING ENTITIES" :They are now are way faster and more of a challenge.Fixed a bug where in many cases they wouldn't attack when they should.Altered the animations parameters so they would not moonwalk so much (teehee)TRIBAL LEVEL :Fixed a bug where one of the car would not shelter you from attacks.Tweaked the scene so it would perform better in low settings.

  If you see this post because of the Next-Fest, welcome! I'm really glad of the feedback I recieved for the demo released a few months ago and I'm working towards completing the game. There were some errors in pacing and gameplay clarity here and there that I think are fixed in this new version of the game. I've set aside continuing the game for a few days and worked on it : I'm releasing a new version now that will drastically improve the experience. Demo Update v0.1.0 General The demo, covering the first act, have been changed drastically. The overall effect is that the demo is considerably shorter and make the experience tighter.
