Urgent bug announcements

Hello, this is AIXLAB, the team behind Forbidden Art.

We are currently experiencing intermittent bugs with AI, bugs with calling lighting scenarios on certain maps, and bugs with level streaming.

In particular, we've noticed that the new update we released to fix these bugs is causing conflicts between the old version and the new version, and some of the bugs are directly affecting gameplay.

We will resolve these issues as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience to your gameplay

Forbidden Art - Patch note (v.1.1.3)

  • Fixed an issue where the "New game" button would not work correctly when existing save data existed.

  • Fixed some textures and effects that could be confusing when solving puzzles.

  • Replaced lighting builds for some maps.

Forbidden Art - Patch note (v.1.1.2)

  • Fixed an issue where sound detectors in certain areas were not working properly.
  • Fixed existing unstable save logic.
  • Fixed an issue where Steam achievements were not working properly (thanks DDMAN)


We've been experiencing intermittent issues with level streaming and saves in-game.
The developers are working diligently to create a stable system.
We apologize to players who have experienced issues while playing the game.

Forbidden Art - Patch note (v.1.1.1)

  • Fixed an issue where the lighter could be grabbed by pressing the grab button when the lighter hotkey was repeated quickly multiple times.

  • Fixed some textures being confusing in puzzles.

  • We are currently experiencing intermittent issues with level loading.
    The team has found an issue with the save file logic and fixed this issue.
    Players experiencing level loading issues should update to the current version of the game and select "Continue" and press the "Restart from Checkpoint" button.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused during the game.

Forbidden Art - Patch note (v.1.1.0)

  • Fixed inventory item thumbnails not displaying correctly when changing languages and launching the game.

  • The Zippo lighter is an important object in Forbidden Art.
    You'll often need to pull it out often, so we've added a hotkey to allow you to do so without going through your inventory. (thanks Getter)



    For Meta Quest, press the grab button while holding down the B or Y key to get the lighter directly in your hand.
    (This does not work on Vive due to the controller's lack of key assignments).

  • We added the effect because some puzzles had no feedback and players were getting confused.

  • Fixed maps not loading properly in certain sections (thanks nanabosho)
