Midnight Special

1 day ago

A huge thank you to everyone who has been playing the game and helping us track down bugs. Just pushed a massive update packed with new content, quality-of-life improvements, and squashed bugs. Let me know if the fixes work for you :)


Here’s all the spooky new stuff waiting for you:

🎮 STEAM DECK & CONTROLLER SUPPORT
You can finally play on your Steam Deck or kick back with a controller on PC! We also added seamless hot-swapping, so you can jump between your keyboard and controller whenever you want without pausing.

💀 NEW ENEMY & BOSS REWORKS
Watch your step... a brand-new enemy is around: the Skull Spider. On top of that, we completely overhauled the Ivan boss battle and tweaked the weapon system. Combat should feel so much smoother and more responsive now.

📖 NEW OBJECTIVES & LORE
For those who love digging into the story: 

  • "Call the Cops": A new objective that dives deeper into Sarah’s lore. 👀

  • "Safari So Good": A sneaky new puzzle that locks the vinyl record in the Rumpus Room.

  • The Stone Bride finally has a proper, creepy intro sequence.

🗺️ QUALITY OF LIFE UPGRADES

  • Beautiful Pixel Art: The Title and End screens now feature gorgeous new pixel art banners! 🎨

  • House Map: You can finally access the map right from your Character Tab. No more getting lost!

  • Smoother Gameplay: We reworked the UI and computer interactions (Also, the "Mr. Happy" sequence in Jon's Room now runs in the background so you aren't forced to just sit there and watch it!).

  • No More Getting Stuck: Got trapped in the Golden Room or the Organ puzzle before? We fixed the logic and added failsafes so your runs won't get ruined anymore. (Sorry to anyone who got softlocked there!)

⏳ OH, AND ONE MORE THING...
There is a mysterious new timer ticking down on the Title Screen. What does it mean? We’ll let you figure that out. 😉
