What's new

THE SEWER

This new location isn't very romantic... Or is it? Change water levels to progress, face faceless monsters and meet a mysterious ally. There must be a way out!

JOE FRITTER

Now, who's this guy? Owner of a perfectly average nightclub. Also, totally unrelated, leader of a criminal organization trying to control the City. But who knows, maybe he's hiding a good heart under that $3000 suit.

GIOSY FRITTER

Despite being Joe's daughter, she has nothing in common with her father (fortunately). She's good hearted, innocent, kind of naive, and loves dancing! Too bad, no one loves HER dancing. Let's say there's room for improvement.

GRAPHICAL REVAMPING

  • The lighting system is overhauled: Additive lights, better shadows, better day/night cycle.

  • Over 200 sprites have been redrawn, including characters, portraits, vehicles and menus.

  • Camera movement and zoom have been polished.

CONTROLLER SUPPORT

I'm proud to announce STENCH completely supports almost every gamepad around!

Thanks for reading, and Happy Halloween! 🎃
