Trading cards, soundtrack, Steam Deck verified, and more!
Ahoy inmates!
We trust you've been enjoying your stay in the Hanwell Mental Institute. It's been over two months since ASYLUM was finally unleashed, now nearing 300 reviews with a Very Positive rating. I can tell you that everyone at Senscape is delighted with the reception of a game that was a challenge to produce, and as a big 'thank you', today we bring a number of promised cool updates:
[h2]Trading cards![/h2]
At last, they're here. Find your favorite characters, all eleven featuring their original concept art. The big cards feature an in-game location that is somehow connected to each character:
Also, the badge progression is particularly cool, if I may say so. And wait till you see the foil one! Who will get it first?
[h2]Animated stickers! Animated wallpapers! Animated everything![/h2]
In addition to the cards, our Points Shop is open for business too. Players can now express themselves in a number of unique ways, from the unexpected fan-favorite Babydog (thanks Princess Magpie for her incredible work with this sticker) to highly disturbing avatars and wallpapers.
My personal favorite is Menacing Syringe:
Go impress your friends with this and much more in the Points Shop: https://store.steampowered.com/points/shop/app/230210
The new cards are a great opportunity to revisit Hanwell if you managed to get out. But careful, you may not be so lucky the second time đź‘€
[h2]Soundtrack now available![/h2]
Our intention was to release a number of add-ons and goodies next Halloween, but fans seem to have really liked the soundtrack and wanted to get it ASAP, and we listened. Now YOU can listen! Relive your favorite moments from the game:

You might be interested to learn that these are slightly alternate takes, the "composer's cut" so to speak. Since all the tunes were layered programmatically while in-game, these mixes may sound different (case in point, Undiagnosed Disease). We much prefer these takes ourselves.
[h2]Bug fixes galore![/h2]
In case you missed the patch notes, we've been squashing bugs and applying your feedback since launch day. Notably, full controller support and verified Steam Deck compatibility are in the bag. Mac users can now enjoy the experience without any issues as well.
We very much appreciate your patience and reports during these first few weeks. The game is more polished and stable now, and thus the frequency of updates will be reduced (but we're not done yet!).
Here's the full history of updates for your perusal:
1.1.25314 "Death to Videodrome" 1.1.25317 "Send more paramedics!" 1.1.25319 "Angels to some, Demons to others" 1.1.25326 "Bedelia! I want my cake!" 1.1.2544 "It's gone, MacReady" 1.1.25411 "Death by stereo!" 1.1.25421 "Ki ki ki, ma, ma, ma" 1.1.25430 "I've got a real good eye for prime meat!" 1.2.2971 "Your mother ate my dog!" 1.2.2985 "We're gonna get you"
And that's it for now. It's been a joy reading your comments and theories about ASYLUM, so please keep them coming. See you soon, and enjoy your weekend!
