Thank you to everyone who has played the demo and shared their feedback! We've been hard at work under the hood, and we are thrilled to bring you a massive update focused on deepening the atmosphere, smoothing out the gameplay, and adding some terrifying new surprises.
Here is everything new in this update:
🩸 New Scares & Immersion
Dynamic Exhaustion: Pushing yourself too hard will now trigger heavy breathing, camera FOV heartbeats, and vision blur. Manage your stamina carefully!
Enhanced Audio: We’ve upgraded the soundscape so the village feels more alive.
New Horror Events: We've added a few brand new horror events to keep you on your toes. We won't spoil them here...
🏃♂️ Gameplay & Survival
New Hiding Spots: Wardrobes aren't your only safe spots anymore. You can now utilize tall grass and pitch black corners to evade detection.
Sprint Overhaul: The sprint mechanic has been completely reworked to feel much more responsive and forgiving during chases.
The Butcher Rebalanced: We've tweaked the Butcher's AI to make him slightly less oppressive for novice players while still keeping the tension high.
More In-Game Hints: Added better environmental and mechanical hints to smooth out the learning curve.
🎮 UI & Quality of Life
Full Controller Support: Gamepad glyphs and hints have been fully integrated across all menus and contextual gameplay situations.
Smart Options Menu: The "Apply" button now provides visual feedback, graying out when all settings are successfully saved.

Fixed the intro text overflowing the screen in certain localized languages.
