- Merry Christmas!!!!! (0.0.15 α) | 24th of December 2024 - 24 December 2024
New Release! What's new? "But oh David, what took you so long??" Eh, good question, neither I know the answer to that. But hey, at least it's something, right? Right? RIGHT?! Looking back on the previous years I've noticed that the game, and I, kinda started to hit a creative block. Not good, it's like at the beginning the game developed so fast and more major but now... now well it's not as much as I used to work before. Maybe it has to do with the fact that life could be a bit more stressful than before, or maybe I just don't have the same motivation as before. But hey, at least I'm still working on it. I'm afraid this game will be discarded before I hit the desired objectives for it, but we'll have to see. I'm not giving up on it, but I'm not sure if I can keep up with the pace I used to have. Hey I'm a solo dev after all, can't stick with Backrooms forever. Mini dev rant, game still…

Added Pessi so you won't get thirsty in the Backrooms, ever again. Finally! It'll also regenerate a bit of sanity. Level Selector: Finally.
