- Requested Changes Patch - 27 May 2026
Hey everyone, thanks for all the helpful discussion posts. They really help a lot. I made some minor changes to the overall gameplay and fixed some bugs. Changes: - Rock explosion sound no longer triggers twice. - Leg and Head hitboxes enlarged as to make combat a little more intuitive. So near misses won't frustrate players. - No Map data text centered. - Fixed some NPCs and Enemies fusing with the ground in sun villas. - Fixed camera clipping in the mines. - Plugged a hole in the mines. - Adjusted the volume of some SFX and overall made them quieter. As for the manual reloading bits, I am open to suggestions to make it less tedious. However, it will always stay clunky as to make upgrading to fully automatic weapons feel rewarding. Thanks for all the feedback everyone! Enjoy.
- Weekly Bugfix Patch - 19 May 2026
Hey everyone, thanks for reporting these bugs. I am working on fixing every single bug reported. Changes: -Possible Enemy Respawning Fix ( I am not sure if this actually fixes it, so if anybody can replicate it after this patch please reach out ) - Max weapon upgrades now show the final value instead of just saying MAX. - Medusa Recoil going downwards is fixed. Now it should have some slight horizontal recoil and it is no longer upgradeable. - Carrying physics objects should now feel better as they will face the direction that your character is facing. - The map tab showing incorrect floor info is now fixed. - Completely overhauled the frequency mechanic, it should now work better. - Attach options now are more visible and intuitive. Thanks for reporting these bugs and please keep them coming. Enjoy!
- Quality of Life Patch - 16 May 2026
Hey everyone, these are some minor fixes to make the overall experience a little bit better. I have managed to replicate the enemy respawning bug, so I am working on that as well. Changes: - Fixed a repeating dialogue with Susan Mary. - Fixed a typo with the stranger. - You no longer fall to the first floor when spawning into the mysterious house from the main menu - Added a max health indicator and now the bar will only be full after getting a couple of max health upgrades. This should make drinking tea more rewarding for the player. - Altered the button functionality in the shooting range challenge to be more intuitive.
- Small Patch Concerning Bugs - 13 May 2026
Hey everyone, first of all reading your reviews and your posts on the discussion page, I am so happy everyone seems to be enjoying the game! It feels great! I have seen some bug reports as well, which are always invaluable to me. Here are some of the changes: - You can now exit the chest UI with tab or Esc. - The scroll wheel now works correctly for quick equip slots. - Bunny hopping now consumes stamina, but consumes less stamina as opposed to just running, because I like bunny hopping :D - Fixed some tutorial popups to fit with the new keybinding system - The filing cabinet drawers will now spawn the items in the correct place. - Map tab now displays "No LOCAL map data" to emphasize it is a local map. After 3 days, I still haven't been able to replicate the enemy spawning bug once. So, if anyone finds a consistent way please let me know. Please keep the bug reports coming, they are in…

- Inverted Mouse Look Hotfix - 10 May 2026
It feels so weird to me to have the inverted mouse look that I didn't notice it was reversed on the aiming axis as well. Sorry for that! It is fixed now and now we are back to weekly patches unless something game breaking comes up. Enjoy the game!
