A Brand New Game Mechanic It looks like the Neighbourhood House's security system has earned the ire of the Pumpkin King.

At random he will appear outside of the Front Entrance, and will slowly work his way closer to the house. It looks like he might be scared of light, but you'll have to flash him at the right time, or risk losing the game!

Be sure to check the Front Entrance curtain very often.

Custom numbers of cameras

A feature has been added to increase (or reduce) the number of cameras active each night. Currently this goes as low as 6 cameras and as high as 9, with 3 more cameras coming soon!

(This does not change how many anomalies will spawn - Do you want lots of anomalies in fewer rooms, or fewer anomalies in a large number of rooms? Now the choice is all yours!)

Minor kitchen changes To facilitate the custom camera changes above, the kitchen camera has been moved. This also means that some anomalies have also been changed to work with the new camera angle. Can you spot the differences?

Patch Notes:

  • Added the Pumpkin King - Scare him away by clicking the flashlight on the table

  • Added the ability to select how many cameras you want - This currently scales from 6 - 9 with more cameras on the way

  • Changed the location of the kitchen camera

  • Altered some Kitchen anomalies due to the new camera location

  • Swapped the "OK" and "Scan" buttons as people habitually seem to click the leftmost button without reading the text box

  • Minor bug fixes and changes to the codebase

Thank you!
