Upcoming Update

The next bigger update is already in development and is planned for release in around one week.

It will include:

  • A new ending for Bus Station 8

  • Small improvements across the maps

  • Possible new features for The Infected Store to improve replayability

I am taking all feedback seriously. This is my first horror game, and I want to keep improving it and make sure players have a fun experience.

Because I know the game still has areas that need improvement, I have reduced the price from $7.99 to $4.75 for now.

Thank you to everyone who is playing, reporting issues, and sharing feedback. It really helps me improve the game.
