- Minor Update - 8 August 2026
There were requests to change the background color of either the Maid or the Butler to green in the intermission screen, on the grounds that two grays under the same sky simply cannot coexist.So I decided to settle the matter through a democratic process to determine who would become green.The Butler won, and her background color has been updated to green accordingly.I've attached a recording of the fierce and hard-fought battle.
- Demo Update - Tutorial Added, Feature Improvements - 6 August 2026
TutorialThe game will now ask whether you'd like to play the tutorial when starting for the first time. This prompt only appears once. If you're new to the game, I recommend going through the tutorial first. A new tutorial has also been added to show you how to use the clock (located in the upper left of the screen) to skip time.Auto-Move to the Next RoomA new option has been added to the Preferences menu. When enabled, you'll automatically move to the next room upon reaching a certain point in the current room. When disabled, you'll need to click with your mouse to move to the next room.Enjoy the newly updated Slaughterhouse demo, and feel free to leave any questions or suggestions in the Discussions.

- MAJOR UPDATE!!!!! - 2 August 2026
Chinese (Simplified & Traditional) SupportWishlists from China, Taiwan, and other regions have been climbing recently, so added Chinese language support. That said, this was done using translation tools, and since I have no knowledge of Chinese myself, I can't guarantee the accuracy of the translations. If you spot any mistranslations, please let us know and I'll fix them.Intermission At the end of each day, an intermission will play. The five characters will each advance their own agendas throughout the day, increasing a progress meter. If the meter reaches its maximum, it's game over. (Since the demo only covers one day, the meter will not reach its maximum in the demo.) Talk: Converse with a staff member to increase their affinity toward you. Comfort: Comfort a staff member to reduce their fear level. Persuade: Negotiate with a staff member to recruit them as an accomplice. Reassign:…
