It has now been two years since Mystics of Trash and violence was released onto this website. When I started, I was barely an initiate, but toiling on chapter II I felt my grasp on things grow firmer, my standards more discerning. The chasm between the quality of my work on chapter II and my work on chapter 1 has grown beyond any obfuscation, for now I saw prior foibles too clearly not to take offense with them.

My company has swelled with the presence of those with indispensable talents. More than a year ago I have taken full advantage of this good fortune and assembled a team. All things considered there could have been no doubt in that we would have to revisit Mystics of Trash and Violence before we could continue with chapter II.

Hence it is my great pleasure to announce The Monster Update! A complete remake for Chapter I of LISA: The Pointless. With over a year of constant development already, The Monster Update will seek to lift up Chapter I to the same quality standard of all following content we release.

Our approach to refining the game can only be described as exhaustive. The update boasts:

• A complete visual re-master of almost all graphical assets in the game.

• A staggering 61 new and improved tracks and new professional level sound design for many scenes.

• A troubling amount of new content, secret and otherwise.

• A much greater focus on harnessing non-combat game-play in service of the story and themes.

• And of course a systematically re-examined narrative to have all the parts come together.

Our aim has always been to not make a good “fan-game” simply, but to make a good game, committing to a release date seems contrary to this aim so there will never be one, the game will be out on the day it is finished. Needless to say, everyone is working tirelessly to make this fever dream a terrifying reality, and it is our hope that you’ll all be there to play it on the day of its rebirth!
