[/p][h2]🩸 A New Project – BLEEDOUT[/h2][p]We’re currently working on BLEEDOUT, a hybrid Roguelike x Idle game.
Soon, an exclusive in-game item will be added to Idle Life that grants you BLEEDOUT for free once it releases.
This reward will be strictly limited – only a handful of players will be able to claim it. 👀[/p][p]
[/p][p]But don’t worry: Idle Life remains our main project.
Our focus continues to be on making Idle Life bigger, better, and more fun – BLEEDOUT is simply a side project we’re building in parallel.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]⚔️ Sharper, cleaner, faster – and something new is bleeding in.[/h2][p]See you soon,

[/p][h2]🔊 New Settings[/h2][p]Two new options are now available in the Settings menu:
• Notification Sound Settings – control the volume or disable quest and system notifications.
• Background Sounds Settings – yes, finally! Background music has been added. It’s not the fanciest soundtrack in the world, but it’s 100% copyright free and self-made – so it’s here to stay.[/p][p]
