October Night Games News

Tutorial is available

The main update for today: we finally added an in-game tutorial.
It will be useful if you are looking for some descriptions and explanations in the world of indescribable and unexplainable horrors.
We will soon translate the tutorial into all languages available in the game.

We fixed some visual bugs as well.
Mac build still has some problems, but it is already available for users with beta-access, we hope to release it to the public very soon.

We are working on the upcoming winter update, stay tuned!

French localization and some bugfixes

We happily announce the French localization of our game! We are working mostly on large-scale developments and the tutorial, which will be introduced later, but still delivered some smaller alterations and bugfixes:
  • Changed the look of dice in the fight screen and the final ritual
  • Fixed the dice re-roll bug in multiplayer
  • Fixed some visual loose ends and performance issues
  • Edited the Russian localization
  • Added a direct link to the bug report form; moved the Discord link to the menu.

New Artefacts and other improvements

As promised, we have delivered a new game update.

Finally, we added artefacts to the game. You can receive them upon completion of the fifth ritual.
Seth's Sickle substantially improves the efficiency of sacrifices;
Bottomless Chalice protects you from poisons and curses;
Pickman's Palette improves your relations with ghouls;
The Staff of The Dead helps you subdue zombies;
Erlking's Staff lets you win the favour of forest spirits and protect you from the horrors of the Hollow;
Trickster's Ring enables you to deceive other players, doing them harm on someone else's behalf.

We also fixed some visual and technical bugs and added new location backgrounds.
More changes are coming!

We have changed our initial updates order a little bit. Currently, our biggest priority will be an in-game tutorial.

Madame Mandilip skill update, achievement-related bugfixes

Today is Sunday, but there is no rest for the wicked.

Over the last few days, we fixed several bugs, mostly achievement-related. Now you can finally get your achievements "Hunt the Hunters" and "Enemy of the Law".
Also, we fixed an issue with incorrect God-achievements in Dream Quest (training) mode (you won't get the God achievements in Dream-Quest now), as well as the inability to get the All Players achievement (you will have to replay the game as Monk and Zhong Kui to get it, sorry).
We apologize for the possible frustration caused by false/unreachable achievements.
We fixed some minor visual bugs as well.

And now to the good part, to the new mechanics!
In recent days we did a lot of work to improve Madame Mandilip with her Devil Dolls, the Abraham Merrit-inspired character.
Now the dolls are balanced much better.
- The Dolls have less impact on Combat Hexagram, but each doll adds an extra attack die. So, it finally pays off to create as many dolls as possible.
- You can send dolls to attack other players. You will lose the doll, but it will deal significant damage.
