- Update: September 20, 2026 - 20 September 2026
Update: September 20, 2026 Due to issues with the "Epilogue," some changes have been made: the game's frame rate is now capped at 60fps, and there are minor adjustments regarding Malkuth. If you run into any errors, please report them on the game's forum, including your device specifications and the specific area or moment where it happened, so I can investigate further. I have been unable to replicate the bugs some users are encountering—such as an area failing to load in the "Epilogue" on my own computer or those of acquaintances, so this information is essential to track it down. NEW EVENT! With the month of horror approaching, this update includes the following extras! Enemies will feature a Halloween theme, complete with pumpkin heads. Nick and Mike will be joined by pet bats on their journeys — Freud for Nick, and Mina for Mike!
