- Lakeview Cabin 2 is coming! - 23 May 2023
People kept asking me "Where is Lakeview Cabin 2?!". Well, here it is! Four new Episodes, all currently out on Early Access, with a sweet discount to entice you! The full release is planned for October 2023, so now is a good time to get your input in! (Oh yeah, and it has... Local 2-player co-op!) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1291790/Lakeview_Cabin_2/ I'm currently moving onto a serious polishing state, so if you're interested in helping me with that, getting the game and letting me know of bugs (and you know there are bugs... It's me after all...) would be TREMENDOUS HELP! I'm only one man, I'm too little butter on a too big of a bread.
- Lakeview Valley is RELEASED! - 22 October 2019

- Lakeview Valley Beta - 15 September 2019
Hello everyone! Some of you may know, that for the last 16 months or so, I've been working on Lakeview Valley, a RPG that is basically a serial-killer simulator set in the Lakeview-universe. The release is getting closer and I'm trying to get more eyes on the game before that happens. These last few months the users on the Lakeview Discord have been able to play the early build of Lakeview Valley, to try it out and help me find issues. Things have been going pretty smoothly and the game is shaping up very nicely. Just this last week I hit an important milestone and the game is now playable from start to finish. So if you want to try it out, now is a great time! Here is our Discord where you can find the links to the early builds of Lakeview Valley. Here is the store page for Lakeview Valley, wishlisting it helps a solo developer like me immensely! If you don't want to join the Discord,…
- Lakeview Valley - 23 April 2019
Hello everyone! I've been working on a spiritual successor to Lakeview Cabin and it's finally time to announce it properly: LAKEVIEW VALLEY So, what exactly is Lakeview Valley? The game is very much like a traditional RPG. Create your own character, customise your home, go fishing, help the villagers to gain popularity. Except the voice inside a tree is offering you enticing upgrades... If you kill someone... What will you do? Become the toast of the town or succumb to your dark desires? The choice will be yours. PS: I'd greatly appreciate if YOU could add the game to your wishlist. It helps a lot a solo developer like me!
- Christmas comes to Lakeview Cabin! - 21 December 2017
Seasonal greetings! As a little surprise to all the fans, I've added a new "Minisode" to the game called Last Christmas! You can access it at the new rental shop "Killer Videos", after you've beaten at least one episode in the theater (or typed in the secret code that most fans might know :smilingred:) And this of course also means that now there's a way for me to add new non-canon minisodes in 2018 if I get inspired! Development on my roguelike Scumquest is also coming along nicely, I wanted to release an announcement trailer for it today but decided to focus solely on LvC this month. We'll see if I can get a proper announcement done in January. I hope you all have lovely holidays, I'm planning on getting extremely fat while fixing all the bugs that this update probably adds. :tormentedred: Thank you! -Roope

- Get Alien: Isolation, Dead by Daylight, and more in the Humble Spooky Horror Bundle - 23 August 2017
The new Humble Spooky Horror Bundle has some very good things in store for fans of horror games. It starts with Dead Age, DreadOut (including the Manga and OST), DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark, and the Lakeview Cabin Collection for $1. But as usual, it gets a lot more interesting when you beat the average price.  For just under $7 right now, Layers of Fear: Masterpiece Edition, the outstanding Alien: Isolation, and the latest addition to the Five Nights at Freddy's series, Sister Location, will be added to the bundle. Drop a tenner on it and you'll also get Dead By Daylight, the four-on-one survival horror game where "death is not an escape."  The default charity for this bundle is the Delaware Aviation Museum Foundation Corp., but as always, you can select an entirely different good cause if you prefer.  The Humble Spooky Horror Bundle is live now and will be av…
- Trading cards and other news! - 14 May 2017
Back from the dead like a murdered wife! I finally got trading cards, emoticons and backgrounds done for Lakeview Cabin. :smilingred: I know I'm probably too late with them, but I feel like I needed to get them done to get out of this rut. The seasonal depression hit a bit harder this year and because of it I haven't been very active on the forums (or anywhere for that matter). Sorry for that. But I haven't been exactly just sitting on my ass though, since I've been working on a new game. It's a survival roguelike that shares a lot of gameplay themes with Lakeview Cabin. It's very adult oriented and violent, but with a lot deeper mechanics than what LvC has. There's also a co-op mode so you know I'm learning from my mistakes. I hope you're all going to like it when I'm able to post more news about it, which shouldn't take too long (which probably isn't very convincing considering how lo…

- Lakeview Cabin Collection Goes Alien-y In Episode 6 - 27 May 2016
From Friday the 13th to Texas Chain Saw Massacre , Roope Tamminen’s Lakeview Cabin Collection offers little sandbox deathworlds inspired by horror films of the ’70s and ’80s. They’re… non-linear violent adventure games? No, I still don’t know how to describe this. Each episode turns characters loose in a little horror movie setup to survive any way they can – you get to try the things you shout at characters to do, basically. Or try to. Now the Collection is complete with the release of an Aliens -y, Thing -ish episode and a little epilogue. …
- All episodes are now released! - 27 May 2016
The day is finally here! Lakeview Cabin 6 officially exits the beta-phase with a small epilogue chapter accompanying it for the most eager players. That means that all of the episodes are out and the game can now truly be called a Collection. Huge thanks to everyone who has played the game and kept me motivated for the past year. You all rock! :) About the future: I have a little project simmering that I can't wait to show you all. I'm also of course going to keep supporting Lakeview Cabin with fixes and patches so the work is still far from done. Let me know if something seems out of place or not working. I think that's all for now. Thank you! -Roope
