So...to hold you over, we're announcing a small update.

We're now adding a difficulty system! In this update, before each night, you can choose the difficulty from five modes!

Here's a run down of the different modes;

Normal

The easiest difficulty in the game, good for those who are new to survival horror.

Hard

For those who want things a little more fast-paced

  • The Nightlings are slightly more aggressive

Very Hard

For those who like a little challenge

  • Nightlings are even more aggressive

  • Less toys spawn.

Extreme

For those who want even more of a challenge!

  • Nightlings are extremely aggressive

  • Even less toys spawn in the house

  • Lower stamina

  • NO activity icons (Essentially blind mode)

Nightmare

Only for those hardcore survival horror enthusiasts. We can't even beat this yet...

  • Nightlings are RELENTLESSLY aggressive

  • Almost NO toys

  • Even LOWER stamina

  • NO Candy bars for speed boosts & stamina regen

  • NO activity icons (Essentially blind mode)

  • Very dark environment

Nothing else to cover in this small patch, but we hope to continue to make changes accordingly to the game so it's ready for full release!

If you currently have access to the beta, you should just have to update the game.

If you don't have access to the the beta, no worries! We're still looking for streamers, content creators, and game testers to play the game early to get feedback. You can sign up here for a chance to be selected!
