Keeping with the theme of the game, 0TT0’s environmental hazards will change depending on your economic choices.Our playtesters have found 0TT0 quite the challenge (except for one tester, who beat the machine on the first attempt!).

- Reviews - We need more! - 30 June 2019
As any good producer should, Frances Finklestein is trying to get more eyes on Wailing Heights' game page. As you may well know, game reviews really help discovery on Steam and It would really help his career now that Deadbeats have all retired to our musical village. Steam's Summer Sale is also rewarding game reviews with extra points in their Grand Prix, so now is the perfect time to leave a review for Wailing Heights on the Store Page. Thanks!

James Downey and the Aos Sí, who you will recognise as the singing voices of Leg End and Ada Z and the Zom Bs, have put their own indie album up for pre-order on iTunes, Amazon UK and Bandcamp. Thanks to popular demand, they're also going to let us add their new recording of Dancing Through Eden, the song played outside the Cremetary, to our soundtrack DLC as a free update!

- Good News, Not So Good News - 17 April 2017
Well, the Good News, is that we got our hands on the final remastered audio files a week or so back, and they are sounding great. The Not So Good News, is that while updating the game and SDK, the compatibility of the lighting system broke, and everything in the game is very, very shiny. The other Good News, is that we've almost fixed the lighting, and although it's taken us a little longer than expected, the remastered update shouldn't be too far away. Bear with us just a tiny bit longer and your ears and eyes will thank us!
