Developer posts and news about this game.

A game manual has added to the start of game and accessible in the Journal. Controls are now shown in game and a brief introduction to help players get into the game. Looking at some of the game-play data we may have set the difficulty a little too high. We want the feeling of un
A couple of small save fixes and the ability to turn the music off or down on the in game pause menu.
Thank you for taking the time to play our first game in a series in the world of Lightmare Castle. We are a micro team of two English Dev's who wanted to produce an indie game with a quirky character and interesting story that could be developed over focused episodes. We are real
Lots of bug fixes addressing some quest issues and save/load. A major update to the look of the game with lots of improvements to the volumetric light system. We will update the screenshots page soon. We'd love some feedback on the new look for the game as it is a major shift (If

Hi all, Final few hours of the initial price offer. Anyone interested might want to get in before the increase of price in a few hours time. If you have the game on your wishlist and or think the current version warrants the price of a good coffee now is the time. Price increase
Our latest patch addressed a flaw with the horse in game which made it impossible to find once you had visited the castle. EDIT 2:- Saves have been fixed and should still work alongside the horse fix. Any issues please message me or post in the forums. The bow and arrow has been
Things are hotting up as we are getting closer to the end of early access. All the quests for this episode are now in the live build. Achievements for this episode are now in. We still have over a month to add polish, backstory reading materials and to beef up the AI. The episode
The latest release has several important fixes. Errors that occurred on save files making 'Armageddon' (Multiple arms appearing on the character) has been fixed along with fixes to the locks and doors. Testing of achievements has begun and the first batch will be fully implemente
We have fixed an error that was causing the bow and arrow to stop working after loading a save file. We have had the odd report of multiple arms sometimes showing and we are hoping this was fixed too (as it's intermittent its hard to recreate and test) If anybody encounters that
The latest live version has a new feature which is the ability to drop a light source. Press X when holding a light source to drop. This helps you fight against enemies as you can drop the light and see better as you equip a weapon. It is also very useful to aid you completing so
The latest update is live now. We have added a progress bar when interacting with the fire which will hopefully make things clearer and we have improved the huntsman's animation and lip syncing in his cut scenes.
Some more in game improvements to crafting and cut scenes. Lock pick puzzle has been improved and bugs fixed. FPS is now much higher across the game.
The latest update adds field crafting to the game. It is in simple form currently - If you have wood you can craft arrows (Just press N to open field crafting menu). Soon it will be hidden behind a blueprint which you must find and learn first. We have also added more wood around
First off I would like to apologise for the disastrous launch week where we released a week early than in fairness we should have. The game had progress restricting bugs and while it is Early Access and still in development we moved too early a little bit out of a desire of not w
