- Game released! - 25 March 2022
Hello everyone! After many months of development the game is finished! We are very excited and look forward to hearing your feedback. As a thank you for all your support we are launching the game with a discount. There is also a deluxe version that includes the game's soundtrack which is truly amazing thanks to the talented composers we worked with. Make sure to check it out! A few useful tips We took great care in balancing the game and recommend everyone to start at the NORMAL difficulty. If you find some challenges too hard, you can always lower the difficulty from the ingame menu. If you get stuck on a puzzle, look around for hints - books and suspiciously placed objects can guide you to the solution! Don't try to get all achievements and special badges on your first playthrough. Learning the levels first and planning your run will greatly help you in overcomming even the hardest ch…

- Perk System Update - 20 November 2021
Reworked perk system Initially the perk system was just a small feature that added some quality of life improvements. For example you could choose to have a perk that made secrets more easy to find or reduced the time it took to respawn at a checkpoint after death. But during testing I realized that the perks are boring. There was not much incentive to look for perk points as the benefits they introduced were quite small and had negligible impact on gameplay. So I decided to change this and make the perk system an important part of the game. New perks I kept some of the old perks - for example the one that helps find secrets is quite nice if you don't want to look up guides on the internet but prefer to discover stuff on your own. But many new ones were added with the goal of allowing the player to customize how he plays. Lets look at a couple of perks as an example. Perk: Sprinter You…
- New Trailer! - 31 October 2021
New Trailer Finally after weeks of work we can show you our new trailer! We think it turned out amazing so go ahead and check it out: Enjoyed it? Like and share it with friends to help spread the word! :) Development progress Controller support - done and working as intended, we just need to test it a bit more before we update the demo Difficulty balancing - we have tweaked several difficulty parameters - now traps should be much less annoying on easier difficulties while enemies should feel a bit more dangerous on harder settings Content - regarding content, the game is about 85% complete right now and there is still plenty time before release so all is good Right now we are focusing on finishing all the content for the game so we can start with testing and marketing efforts. Thats all for now, see you next time!
- Devlog #6 - 5 October 2021
Hey everyone, Peter here. I have decided to move the devlogs here instead of my personal blog. This is in fact the sixth devlog i'm posting, but the first one here on Steam! :D Since we already have a demo out and you guys can try the game I won't focus as much on stuff that's already done. Rather I want to mention a couple of things that people have asked about: Controller support I have been toying with the idea to support controllers for some time and now that many requested it I have decided to implement it. If everything goes according to plan you will be able to play the game using a controller and only need the mouse for menu and settings. Unfortunatelly supporting a controller fully would be quite hard to do at this point and I don't think I have the time to do that right now. Game length Lots of you asked about how long the game will be. This is a tough question - from my testi…
