- v0.42.2 - Modulators, Emotes and more - 18 March 2025
New color grading I've put a lot of thought into this and have decided to rework the color grading of the entire game, especially in the shadows. Shadows are now much darker and the game is overall slightly less saturated, for people who prefer the old look there is now an optional Modulator you can enable (called Moonlit Night Modulator) to switch it back to the old color grading! Let me know what you think of the new look, I'm hoping this update will make the game feel more like a horror game and be scarier overall. Modulators Modulators are a brand new feature, you can enable Modulators in the game setup screen. They can affect the game in various ways and can all be combined! Mirror: Mirrors the entire map Shrinked Humans: Humans are about half their normal size Shuffle Abilities: The monster gets a new random ability every time one is used Moonlit Night: Go back to the OG color gra…
