Devlog: #5 Major Release Prep – The Road to the End.

Yo, Midgets. We’ve cooked up a massive patch for the demo — it’s fucking huge, so let’s cut to the chase: We got rid of the salty bot sprint — now they actually walk instead of blindly charging at the player.

The intro level got polished — now it oozes style, detail, and all that other junk.

It’s CHINAZIS time, baby!

On August 21, we’re dropping Chapter One of DEN PAIN, where you take on the role of a floor scrubber — exiled, fired, and fucked.

Your mission: make it to the office, grab your final paycheck, and try not to die.

You’ll find yourself in:

DEN’S CRIB — the very lair of pain, where you can:

Watch TV to boost damage
Drink Brepcy to increase max HP
Smoke cigs — gain HP but with a twist, there’s a chance of sudden death
Sleep — to experience and overcome nightmares
Call a cab outside to move to the next chapter

Plus, a couple of full-scale levels with:

Cutscenes, cursed ads, memes, and more unfiltered madness.

What we’re working on now:

Our programmer Arkasha is developing an advanced dismemberment system a la Dead Island 2 — the goal is total brain-blowing realism, and it’s working.
Still building out Den’s apartment — interactables, immersion, and more chaos.
Finishing the remaining levels.
Squashing bugs as they appear.
Building the game’s official website.

What’s next:

If the game hits our minimum sales goal, we’ll keep this party going and drop Chapter Two soon after. But for now, brace yourselves and crawl forward with lips pursed.
