addedBrand new character skin for the Enemy in the Cornfield. This mesh we feel fits in to the environment and makes a lot more sense than the previous skin! - Also, We have a version of this mesh which returns to a similar but improved state of the original skin for a future Halloween Event update!
addedScenery improvements in Hollow Point, Rock/cliffs have been added to several of the hills including around the cornfield and in the forest, and some of the tree distance to load out has been increased to stop the foliage from disappearing too soon improving visual experience.
changedGameplay Improvements
changedThe Nun - You now get 2 chances against the Nun, if she catches you the first time, she will disappear & and you will hear a ominous ghostly sound. She reappears by her original resting spot, you will also hear your heart beating fast which fades away. If you are caught a second time, you will die.
changedThe Pirate Ghost - You now also get 2 chances against the Pirate Ghost, if he catches you the first time you will similarly hear a ghostly sound & a fast heartbeat that fades away. He will disappear and reappear in one of the Cabin rooms. If you are caught a second time, you will die.
addedSave point Lantern added outside of the cemetery, this is to try help players who are forgetting to Save therefore losing lots of progress.

  • Opening Cinematic Logo removed as unnecessary.

  • Main Menu splash screen removed as per complaints from players.

  • FATAL ERROR FIX on the Ghost Ship, I have also rectified an Achievement that was displaying incorrectly under this same bug.

These changes should improve the overall experience, and most of the difficulties we see players facing we feel have been addressed. Feedback from people like you help us improve the quality of the game for everyone, and we appreciate what we've been given so far!

Happy gaming everyone!
