For those who don't know, it's the 1 year anniversary of Labyrinthine's release today. Doesn't time fly? To celebrate, we've put together a blog post that shares some development screenshots, memories and a thank you. It also includes sneak peeks of Chapter 5 as well as the Sewer and Manor case file maps.

We're going to be handing out an exclusive cosmetic to everyone who bought the game in the past year as a thank you from us.

As well as that, we're now on sale for the next 3 days as part of steam's Halloween sale. If you have any friends who have been thinking about picking up the game, now would be a good chance!

And finally thank you everyone for supporting us this past year, you guys are all awesome!

[h2]Limited Time Cosmetics[/h2]



As part of our halloween event, these new cosmetics can only be found until the 1st of November. Once unlocked, you can wear them any time of the year!

Any time a normal cosmetic would spawn, there's a 50% chance of it spawning a random halloween cosmetic instead. There are 5 pumpkin helmets, 3 witch hats and a pair of dazzling devil horns to be found!

[h2]New Map[/h2]

The cornfields, a new permanent addition to the game is now live! This map is available in the case files gamemode for anyone above level 5.

[h2]New Monster[/h2]



Within the cornfields lurks a new terror... We won't spoil the surprise but he may make you think twice about running around aimlessly....

This monster is only available on the cornfields, though he isn't guaranteed to be in every map. This is a permanent addition.

[h2]Infinite Lives are Back[/h2]



As promised, we're re-enabling our infinite lives option. This can be found at the bottom of the noticeboard when selecting a chapter/case.

Please be aware, this will cause you to take a -90% XP penalty if used for case modes!
