- Halloween in the Cabin: Trick or Treat - 19 October 2025
We’ve been busy stuffing the cabin with candy. Not the safe kind, either.All over the forest, you’ll now find shiny little sweets that do things. You won’t know what until you eat them. Some make you lightning fast. Some make you violently regret your choices. And sometimes it is just candy.We’re not saying it’s balanced. We’re saying it’s Halloween.There are also some decorations scattered around. The cabin looks like it’s been decorated by someone who didn’t survive the process, which feels right.The event runs until November 7th. After that, the candy disappears, and you can go back to pretending to trust your friends again.Patch summary:Added Halloween candy with random effectsAdded spooky decorationsUnlockable: a limited-time Halloween maskEat something you probably shouldn’t. See you in the cabin.

- 🔍 Finding players made easier! 🔍 - 8 June 2023
We are thrilled to see more and more people enjoying their time in our cabin! In the latest update, we have made a significant change to public games to enhance the experience of finding fellow players. The notable addition is the introduction of a 'Play Public Game' button. By simply pressing this button, you will be able to join an existing public game if one is available. In case there are no ongoing public games, pressing the button will start a new public game for you to jump into.

It is important to note that we anticipate many of you will continue playing with your friends as usual. However, we encourage you and your group of friends to also try out public games, as it might lead to some pleasant surprises, introducing…

- Smarter bots! - 30 August 2022
As requested by the players, this update dramatically improves how the bots play. Playing single-player against bots should be a lot more enjoyable and even better when you add them to add some excitement to multiplayer games with a low player count. We have made the following improvements to the bots The game will conclude when there are just bots left Fixed bug that made bots immune to poison Bots are smarter with what kind of items they loot Bots vote consistently (so spamming votes will not work anymore) and will always vote yes on anyone that has done damage to them. Bots start a vote for the attacker if they see someone being attacked Bots will start a vote for anyone that attacks them once the muted period is over (but not if they are dead by that time ofc). Bots will start random votes when they feel like it. Bots keep running while attacking, making it much harder to outrun the…
