Cheats Update!
As of today, Iron Lung now has a few fun cheats for you to try! To activate a cheat, type the appropriate command into the computer terminal at the back of the sub. Cheats can be stacked (if you dare). There are only a few at the moment but I hope to add some more later on.
Currently, you can use the following cheats (which are also listed in cheats.txt in the game's install folder):
- chclear - clears all cheats
- chnoir - activates black and white visual mode
- chview - allows you to see out the front porthole
- chrave - makes the lighting more colorful
- chava - adds a speaker to the Iron Lung
- chvest - gives you a light
- chmark - activates 'Markiplier Mode'
Halloween Sale
Iron Lung is going to be 20% off as part of Steam's Halloween sale, which starts on October 26th and ends on Novermber 2nd. This is a great time to tell your friends to pick it up because...
Price Change
...after the end of the Halloween sale on Nov. 2, Iron Lung's price will be changing from $6 to $8, and I want to make sure everyone has ample warning and time to buy it at the current price.
This is the only price increase I plan on doing for Iron Lung (I believe any more than $8 would be unfair), and as before all subsequent updates and DLC will be free. That includes a large collection of behind the scenes photos I plan on releasing as DLC once the movie is out.
When I first released Iron Lung I wasn't confident that people would resonate with the odd concept, and I expected to simply release it and move on. Now that the game has seen (and will probably continue to see) updates in content, features, and usability, I believe $8 is a fairer price, more in line with what similar horror games ask, and more sustainable for me over the long run.
Since my intent here is not to gouge people for money, but rather to make sure Iron Lung is priced competitively for the long haul, I again want to emphasize that if you know anyone who might want Iron Lung in the near future, make sure they know to grab it during the Halloween sale from Oct. 26th to Nov. 2nd.
