Patch Notes – The Infected Store

A new update for The Infected Store in Late Night Fears is here! This update adds new mechanics, more things to watch out for, and some changes to make your decisions matter even more.

The Infection Spray & Gas

  • Infected people entering the store now have a 50% chance of releasing Infection Gas.

  • Infection Gas instantly kills non-infected humans who come into contact with it.

  • You can now take the Infection Spray Bottle at the checkout and use it to remove the gas.

  • Keep an eye on the store and act quickly before the infection spreads!

Customers at the Checkout

Customers who place their items at the checkout now have a timer.

  • Customers won't wait forever anymore.

  • Be sure to ask the required questions quickly before they leave.

  • Added new sounds to the checkout system.

  • Added new smileys to better show the customer's current state.

Power Outages

The power can now randomly go out.

When the power goes out:

  • A new exit in the employee room becomes important.

  • Follow it outside the store to find the Power Button.

  • You'll have a flashlight to help you find your way.

The Cat

The Cat isn't new - but she has received some new features!

Stroking the Cat

You can now stroke the Cat by pressing [c]E[/c].

The Cat Cleans the Store

The Cat can now clean up certain blood and trash inside the store.

And yes... she will actually give you money for cleaning them up.

New Cat Sounds

Added new sounds for:

  • Death

  • Petting

And yes...

You can shoot the Cat.

Reviving the Cat

The Cat can still be revived after she dies, but reviving her now costs:

$100 in-game cash

General Changes

  • Killing a Human now gives -$40 instead of -$15.

    • Killing humans now has a much bigger impact on your decisions.

  • Killing an Infected now gives +$20 instead of +$10.

Thank you for your patience and for playing Late Night Fears.

I'm still working on improving the game and adding content, and I'll do my best to keep updating it!

Thank you for supporting Late Night Fears!

:)
