• Update v1.0.3 Patch Notes - 8 December 2025

  Hello again, back with just a few more bug fixes bringing The Corruption to v1.0.3. Changes: General: - Fixed the removable box explosion left behind after killing fast (slab) zealots so that it is consistent with other zealot "corpses" (meaning you can now walk through as it shrinks without dying). - Improved density of purple "physics eater" autocells. - Fix for a rare black-screen startup freeze on some machines, apparently caused by loading user settings in the game instance init right at startup. Map Specific: - Improved the consistency of cascades for killing the farthest pillar functionary in i893-mainframe-r02. - Removed an unneeded interaction tooltip from a button in i892-lighthouse-r03. - Fixed a missing stair mesh in central save area of i891-thegate-r02. - Fixed an unintended hole in some stairs in i892-court-r04. As usual, if you have any more bugs please send them my way…

• Price Drop + v1.0.2 Update - 23 July 2025

  Hello from developer Michael Tuck. I think it's consensus that I set the initial price a little too high for this game. Fault of too many comparisons to other games that aren't as indie as The Corruption, along with overestimating the length a bit. I think the new price better reflects that most people finish the game in about 4-5 hours, and that the game is a somewhat strange thing, with niche appeal for people who don't mind occasionally getting a little lost in their first-person games so long as the environments are unique. If you like both FPSs and backrooms games (like I do), I think this might be for you. I know the niche is out there: Steam's stats say that a few players have spent 30+ hours exploring, which is more than I ever expected anyone to spend in the game. Thanks to everyone who was willing to give the game a shot at the original price! Additionally, there's a minor upd…

  A summary of post release bug fixes and changes that together now bring The Corruption to v1.0.1: Gameplay: - Walk toggle added (must be enabled in settings) - Changed i891-thegate so players can see the exit before the button that opens it - Made i892-canyons alt-route trick shot a little less tricky - Properly gated upper islands tower route so you must always pick up the grenade launcher first - Moved final save point in i893-recluse Fixes for: - Missing wall in i892-terminal start area - Floppy disk messages self-deleting at start in i891-museum, i892-canyons, and i891-islands - Floppy disk messages freezing inside "blocker" automata - Cables on hanging lights causing shadowing issues when swinging - Tool tips showing for invisible dev-only grenade launchers - Phone calls restarting on world changes despite still having the same message - More consistent pickup of small physics obje…

• The Corruption Releases - 26 May 2025

  Become an uncompliant and fight off the corrupted digital zombies that haunt the crumbling halls of a dying digital world. Releasing today, The Corruption is a mostly linear, mostly FPS game with handcrafted levels and combat against fast digital zombies, plus some horror chase, puzzling, platforming and story. Includes a few secret areas and four endings for people who like exploring. They said it was supposed to be a digital sanctuary. They said it was supposed to be an escape from the external world. They said that it couldn’t devolve. But of course, please presume that any missing occupants leaving messages for you have been selected for termination. Blessings upon their bytes. Buy the full game today, or try the demo of a taste of The Corruption.

• New Gameplay Trailer and Release Date - 16 May 2025

  Check out the new gameplay trailer for The Corruption, an upcoming atmospheric FPS, blending chase horror, light interactive sim elements and surreal environments with cascading explosions triggered by your Process Termination Grenade Launcher: Survive as an uncompliant in a dying digital world, and escape or fight off the corrupted zombie-like inhabitants who still haunt its crumbling halls. It's a bit backrooms meets Bioshock on the one hand and a bit art-house zombie game on the other hand. Explore a handcrafted world, inspired by classical architecture and De Chirico, and discover its secrets in voice messages left behind by devolving inhabitants. Then destroy those inhabitants if necessary through traps and explosions. Releasing May 26. Add to your wishlist and play the demo (now with updated intro level) today! Thanks to everyone for the interest in the game so far!
