- Big Update! - 2 November 2022
Version 1.2 of The Bad Son offers new content, which players can enjoy right now, and among which is a new map and tributes to the anti-authoritarian film The Truman Show and to the Brave New World author. We also fixed health point bugs thanks to the community. Below we refer to the main new features included in version 1.2: New map Many players have asked us to include a map; in this sense, although we are not convinced that the exploration experience is the same with a map, we prefer that player has the option to use it in case they wish. The Other Truman Show + achievement In this new side quest, unlike in the movie, Tom will not be trying to take a bus to escape control, but rather will be trying to convince the taxi driver to drive him out of Derrigtown.

- Added information about the controls - 11 October 2022
New information about the controls: On the night of October 7, the friends of TodasGamers were the first to play The Bad Son live; we enjoyed as children with them, and we also had the opportunity to notice that it was necessary to improve the information regarding the controls of the game, since these had been unclear for our friends. In this way, the player can be clearly informed about the controls after having selected the language and decided whether or not to watch the prologue. About gamepad controls: We have adapted the controls to the model that uses the Xbox controller, used not only by the Xbox 360, One or Series X/S controllers themselves, but also by controllers from other brands. If you have a Switch and PC compatible controller that doesn't follow the Xbox model's button layout, you can change the gamepad settings from Steam if you wish. **********************************…
- Added game difficulty settings - 30 September 2022
The Bad Son has received a pre-launch update. In this way, version 1.0.1 includes some of the suggestions that the Steam curators have sent us, among which the new difficulty modes stand out. New Hard Mode Do you want a more challenging experience? Then select hard mode; the enemies will be stronger and you will hardly receive healing items. Normal mode is the most recommended If you don't know which difficulty mode to choose, we recommend that you select the normal difficulty, although if you think that a part of the game is too complicated for you or, on the contrary, you want a greater challenge, then you can adjust the difficulty selector to your liking. Easy mode focuses on exploration In case you want to focus your gaming experience on exploration, you can play in easy mode, without worrying too much about the enemies. We hope you like it! *****************************************…
