Update including a myriad of changes and fixes and new features coming Saturday!! (most likely)

read the article for an in depth review on what is to come in the update.


Let's start with what new features are going to be added:

The biggest one of course is Billiards being added into casino mode!!! Along with this will also be the leaderboard so you can keep track of your own money as well as who is at the top of the board!!

Alongside these is going to be an additional 3rd star you can get in the main menu screen that is achieved by being in the top 5 richest people on the leaderboard! This star is not going to be counted for 100% completion.

Now let's talk about some new mechanic based features:

The biggest of these newly implemented features will be a drastic change to how the night 1 character fundamentally works. He will still work the same on the surface, you see the hat in the main area, and you know he has spawned in one of the adjacent rooms. However, he will no longer randomly pick a room to be in, once he appears in a room, he will no longer be able to appear in that room again until he has appeared in every other area that he is capable of spawning in. This makes his movement easier to keep track of and less RNG based on where he spawns. On top of this however, there will be another change. The area where the hardhat spawns in the main area can now be clicked on when the hat is not present and will cause him to force spawn in the night. This will act as a sort of risk/reward system that can add a new dynamic to the nights and can be a benefit to the player if used strategically. Additionally, this character will also be a lot slower on night 1 and take longer to kill the player to help ease new players into the game better.

The sound the microwave makes will now also increase in pitch as it gets closer to exploding

There will now be a death tip for the night 5 character when the player gets killed by another character during a blackout.

There will also be a new "advanced tips" section in the extras menu that will be able to explain all these new features and more in better detail for the more dedicated players.

The orb guy's jumpscare sound will be made a lot less deafening

The brightness and movement prompt issues in casino mode will be fixed

And finally, there is a chance the player movement speed in the main mode will be ever so slightly increased. Not sure if I'm actually gonna add this one but there's a chance.

Yeah sorry for the super long article but this is all the new stuff being added! See you Saturday (probably)
