- Remote Destroy Together - 27 November 2019
Ever wanted to summon an ancient slavering monstrosity to end the world … for reasons … but just couldn’t get your cultist friends to agree to come to your sanctum. Something about them not trusting you to not poison the Oreos … Well, now with Steam Remote Play, those problems are a thing of the past … and hopefully a Thing in the future! As of version 2.1.3.a you can now play Fhtagn! Tales of the Creeping Madness remotely with your friends, without the threat of them stabbing you in the back when you are not paying attention. You can now play: Co-operatively or competitively online with your friends (or frenemies). Play on your tablet. AND, if you have REALLY good eyesight, on your phone (unfortunately the font size cannot be optimised at this time, so a tablet is recommended). To activate Remote Play, just follow these easy instructions on Steam’s webpage . So what are you waiting for…

Have an insane Halloween, but whatever you do, don't say “Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" three times in the mirror … you’ll get pimples. *We said sacrifice them in-game, not in real life … weirdo!
- New update, new project, Fall Sale and other thrilling news! - 16 September 2019
We have been hard at work on an exciting new project, The Endless Wyrd. In this dice-based, deck-building roguelike adventure, scavenge the Wyrd and escape the tentacles and teeth of The Thing of the Dark.

Okay, okay, we admit we could have chosen a subtler name and if you know anything about Lovecraft, it will be no surprise to you who the new Ancient One will be, but we just couldn’t resist! So without further ado … Iä! Iä! Let’s get this party started! What can you expect: The Dark Young update includes a new cult who worships the All-mother. This cult is far more back-stabbing than the Dreaming Eye, since Mother does not look kindly on failing and her children know that she will not suffer the weak to live. To help even the most altruistic player embrace their inner…
- Updates, Features and Fixes - V1.0.9 - 18 June 2018
Hi Everyone! We're in full swing with the Dark Young update, but have not forgotten about those nasty bugs and nice-to-haves! Thank you all for your patience with the growth process, we really appreciate it! Features We really wanted to give credit to our modders for the excellent work they have done, so from now on when you play a mod, you will be able to see the mod and the modder's name at the bottom of the story area. Fixes Can now scroll through the mod list using the controller's right stick. Controller stick threshold checks were faulty. Thresholds being checked correctly now, and change to controller threshold increased. Moving down on Mod screen with top button selected jumped to bottom button.

- Updates, Features and Fixes - V1.0.8 - 1 June 2018
Thank you to everyone for playing Fhtagn! and for the incredible feedback we have received so far. It has been a week since Fhtagn! launched and all kinds of Yrm-Tahl worms had come out of the woodwork. Don’t worry, we have maxed out our Sanity and Animal Husbandry and we have wrangled up those troublesome critters (bugs) and banished them for good! This update focuses primarily on the way Fhtagn! deals with user created content, specifically in the way new mods are uploaded and updated on the Steam Workshop. For modders, please look at the updated Content Creator document, for changes. You can see what has changed in the revision history, on the first page. To all the achievement hunters out there, we added 16 new achievements for you. Finally, as we mentioned, we tracked down a few bugs and implemented fixes for them, details below.

We are excited to announce that our story-adventure mini-game, Fhtagn, is releasing on Steam tomorrow, 22 May 2018! The time is finally at hand to perform the great ritual and everything has been meticulously prepared. The sacred spoon of Scoo’p has been polished to an evil gleam, the Shoggoth was given a juicy bone and the altar was sprinkled with ketchup (the Ancient One’s favourite). All we need now is for you to fulfil your ritual role and to end the world for good… or evil in this case! To help you prepare for your fiendish role, we’ve created a gameplay video that will provide you with a sneak peek of what to expect. You will need all the help you can get when you battle investigators, corrupt cops and Ancient horrors, as you traverse the unsuspecting town of Arkham. The story-adventures don’t end when you’ve completed the game, you can download playable mods from the Steam Worksh…
- Slight misalignment in the Stars - 30 March 2018
It is with regret that we announce a delay in the release of Fhtagn! At Design Imps we strive to release a product that is as bug-free as possible and a game that we feel excited about playing – and most importantly, that you will feel excited about playing! Unfortunately, we cannot in good conscience release the current version of the game as there is still much testing and polish to be done, to bring it to a standard that we feel happy with. We apologise for this delay and hope to get the final product to you within the next few weeks. We hope you can bear with us a while longer and that you will be pleased with the end result. Till the stars align … M’rgl B’rgl!
