Tricksters, tonight we will be talking about the ongoing development of Horror Tycoon. This will be the first devlog since the game released in Early Access 🥳 We’ll go over new items, a new scare trap and the upcoming holidays and plans for the future🤭


Scare your guests with floating books that move from side to side (great for placing bookcases on both sides of a corridor for a spooky library vibe)😈



Here you can see a couple of the new decoration items in action.🏃‍♂️
Also a new type of floor you can use which is grass!🥗




Wouldn’t be Christmas if we didn’t add some festive items and which are more important than the Holiday Tree and Holiday Presents




We are planning to release one or two more smaller updates before the end of this year, but the first big one will have to wait for the first quarter of the next one. You will hear about these at a later date.

The Save/Load system is still being worked and further improved. During early access save/load files from one build to the next may no longer work as expected and may require you to delete your current save file.

And that will be all from the scary mansion for now, we hope you will enjoy the upcoming updates and we would love to hear from you about them in our Discord!(link below)🤗

Haunt you soon!
The Horror Tycoon Team

Hello Haunters!
It's hard to believe it has already been a month since Early Access launched! Let's do a quick recap of the past 4 weeks:

This update introduces new decor, construction items and a new scare trap to use in your haunted house attractions as well as further bug fixes and quality of life updates. Here's a sneak peak at some of those new items and scare traps:

Scare your guests with floating books that move from side to side (great for placing book cases on both sides of a corridor for a spooky library vibe)
