Hello everybody! Another day, another update!

Sorry it's been a while with 'no updates' however even though no update announcements were being made, some small minor bug fixes and such changes and updates were going through in the game as some of you may have noticed. I wish to as always - thank you for all your suggestions and feedbacks. I will try my best to fix all issues that you may have.

This new update includes bug fixes, new added settings, new monster sounds, re-worked on some jumpscare triggers and small changes. Apart from that - we also again updated the 'No Jumpscare mode' to have less loud sounds by 30% down, even for the scripted jumpscares.

The triggers in the main mode have been re-worked on. That means, that some jumpscares will only appear if you hide a lot in the game. The less you hide, the less jumpscares you may encounter. The more you hide, the more you are likely to loose your sanity and get jumpscared.

IMPORTANT 1: I heard reports about the game not working correctly or having lag spikes. If this is the case - please try going in the game's SETTINGS > GRAPHICS > VERTICAL SYNC and make it to DISABLED.

IMPORTANT 2: If the game is taking too much GPU and you wish to cap FPS - we have now added it as an option. You can go to SETTINGS > GRAPHICS > VERTICAL SYNC and make it to DISABLED and then in GENERAL select the FPS LOCK to whatever you like.

IMPORTANT 3: NO JUMPSCARE Mode will contain all scripted jumpscares. No elements from the story or anything will be missing. The only thing that will be missing, will be fewer "BOO IN YOUR FACE" jumpscares to make the player use the mic more often. Apart from that, everything will be the same.

Here is a list of updated things for the new version:



I would like to thank you as always for your support, suggestions and feedback. You're all amazing! Let me know what you think of this update. Should we decrease the jumpscares in the main mode? Should we do it with the "hiding" feature that triggers it? or was it better like before? Thank you all once again and take care and have a good day all!
