Midnight Special

Greetings, all. It has been a while since the last update, and quite a few things have happened behind the scenes.Firstly, Yahaha and I have decided to part ways. This means that moving forward, I will be handling all aspects of future game updates. This means that there are fewer resources and less time to do everything but I'll do my best.Secondly, the Spanish localization is in the works. I would like to thank everyone for their patience. I have been assured that the localization is coming along, but the person who is making this translation is taking their time to ensure it is of the highest quality possible. Fun fact: the localization is actually being done by a linguistics student for their graduation thesis. That is bonkers to me, but I appreciate any help I can get, and this makes me confident that the translations will be of high quality. Given that the localization is being done pro bono and this person has graciously offered to do this, I did not deem it appropriate to rush them or insist on a specific deadline. With that in mind, please bear with us. As soon as it is available, I will make an update and let everyone know.Third, I was looking into the possibility of

Hi all. It has been a hot minute since the last update, but I am back with a new build that contains new fixes and improvements. It has been quite a difficult endeavor fixing all of the annoying inconsistencies occurring with controller and Steam Deck support. For a bit of transparency, the way that the engine is built, porting controller support is easy, but ironing out all of the issues and inconsistencies is the hard part. Porting the game to controller was initially done as a player suggestion that cost a lot more time than I had originally anticipated. In short, it is essentially like developing two games at once. Rant notwithstanding, the controller and Steam Deck support is closer to being ready. I have done my best to remove any "double selection" instances from the inventory menu, but there are still locations where this is very apparent, for example, when interacting with the computer or the fake save. These will be addressed in the next patch, hopefully.There is a new and hopefully improved main inventory menu. The menu now displays each item's description and instructions on how to interact with some objects.Added a more unified way of interacting with ob

Hi all! It's been a long week, but I was able to address a lot of the issues that you brought to my attention since the release. Please keep in mind that there's still some jank, for example with the controller, but I'm also working on fixing that, hopefully sooner rather than later. In the meantime, here's a comprehensive list of everything that was fixed in build 1.7.5. If you still encounter any issues, please let me know. I plan on releasing more free content soon, continuing to polish the game, and adding features requested by playersIssues fixed.Infinite candle spawn fixed – Stops after you interact with the crack.Clock display fixed – It would enable after the computer sequence if it was disabled by the player.Removed laugh from hole in the wall – Tina no longer laughs in that region.Grain of salt objective fixed – Objective not updating resolved.Shotgun objective fixed – Should now update all states.Objective fixed – call the cops – Didn't prompt after kid's interaction (barrel).Objective fixed – find the kids – The incorrect dialogue would play in the red room with the phone if you interacted with the kids in the barrel. Still requires a compl

Hi all,I hope everybody is having a great weekend. While we're working on the next patch, I'd like to take this chance to open the floor to everyone who has purchased and played the game to offer constructive criticism on what they'd like to see improved or fixed in the game, and even features they'd like to see. On my part, I'll do my best to accommodate people.Before we start, though, here is a list of issues, improvements, and features we're currently working on:Spanish localization: Spanish is being worked on. I know it's frustrating that it's not there, but it couldn't be helped.Inconsistencies when playing with a controller: You've probably noticed some weird issues when playing with a controller. It's actually something handled by the engine. I'm currently in talks with the developer of the engine, trying to figure out how to fix the issues.Autosave feature for Normal mode: I've started adding an autosave trigger in various critical sections of the game to ensure that people won't have to replay hours of the game to get back to a specific point.General jank: The publisher and I are performing daily tests o
