Hi guys, we’ve just pushed an update to the demo live based on your reviews and feedback. We hear you loud and clear and have been hard at work to address a lot of the issues you’ve brought up. All while fixing a ton of bugs! Here’s the main areas of the game we’ve worked on:
Tutorial & Objectives
We’ve received a lot of feedback from players who aren’t sure what to do in the game or how some systems work. You’ll now find screens just inside the mansion explaining how things like haunts, pants, and dying / respawning work. We’ve also updated the HUD to always indicate your next objective, and added a ton of small improvements to UX and UI.
Mechanical Changes to Kicks, Food, and Farts
A number of changes have been made to some key mechanics in the game for a better experience. Kicking things is now much smoother, and acts as a 3-kick combo. Eating food now decreases your poop meter. Holding farts no longer hurts you / fills your meter with poop.
New and Updated Items
We’ve updated some items, and added a ton more: A jar you can fart into to create a grenade, a spray bottle to clean soiled pants, a corpse bag you can carry your dried turd friend around in, and more. Jump back in to find them all and see how they work!
Difficulty Balancing
Another pain point has been the game’s difficulty, so we’ve tweaked and balanced things out a bit. In particular, the game now adapts difficulty during a haunt based on how many players are in the same room. This should help in situations where your group gets split up when the house gets angry.
Revamped Gas Station
The first stop on your road trip has changed a ton! You can now customize your character item by item in the bathroom. It’s also now a hub where you can buy items to bring into the mansion with coins. This is a big part of the broader game loop we are building, and you’ll be seeing more of that in future updates!
Bug Fixes
Y’all found a lot of bugs, and we’ve squashed most of them. Of course, there may be more or even some new ones, so please keep flagging them.
Thank you all for all checking out our demo and all the feedback you’ve shared. Please keep it coming here on Steam and in our Discord server. If you’ve left a review on the demo already, we’d love for you to try it out again and, if you find the experience improved, consider updating your review.
We'll keep exploring ways to improve the game and address feedback. Looking ahead, we’ll have a bunch of new content and fixes coming to the demo for Steam Next Fest later this month, so stay tuned!
