Hi!

I fixed a bug that occured on Kitty's level with the letters on the boxes.
Thank you for reporting the issue!

[h2]Hi everyone![/h2]

There’s a new level waiting for you, and it’s not what it seems...

This time, you’ll find yourself in a cute, pink labyrinth, but don’t be fooled by its charming aesthetic. Something deadly lurks in the shadows. Is it just your imagination, or is there an entity watching your every move?

Your goal is to navigate through this deceptively sweet nightmare, uncover clues, and find a password to unlock the exit. But be careful... Kitty is watching.

You can access this level from the Poolrooms.

[h2]Hey everyone![/h2]

Another Thursday means another quick devlog!

[h3]💡 What’s new this week?[/h3]

I’ve been hard at work adding some exciting updates and improvements to the game. Here’s what’s been keeping me busy:

There’s a brand-new level in the works! It’s shaping up to be a really eerie addition. It features a unique entity with its own look and mechanics, and introduces new item interaction mechanics, adding a layer of complexity to the gameplay. I can’t wait for you to explore it very soon!

Say hello to this guy! ...Or maybe don't.

On top of all that, I’ve been improving some of the core game elements. I’ve polished the lighting across all levels, making things look and feel even more atmospheric. Every level has also been optimized for smoother performance, so you can expect a more seamless experience overall.

[h2]Hey everyone![/h2]

I hope you all had a fantastic holiday break and that 2025 is off to an amazing start for you 🎉 It’s time for another devlog, and I’m really excited to share what I’ve been working on lately.

[h3]💡 What am I working on this week?[/h3]
I've been focused on pushing forward some exciting new features and making progress on the new game mode. Here’s what’s new:

I’ve been implementing various types of traps in the game. They’re already functional, but the visuals aren’t quite there yet. Don’t worry, though - once the graphics are ready, they’re going to make exploring even more intense!

I've started working on defining the core objective of the upcoming game mode. I can’t share too much just yet, but it’s coming together really nicely, and I think it’s going to add a fresh layer of challenge and excitement!

I'm also designing a new level specifically for this game mode, and I’m thrilled with how it’s evolving. Expect eerie vibes and plenty of opportunities for strategic gameplay!

And, as always, I’ve been squashing bugs to make the experience smoother. It’s not the flashiest part of development, but it’s very satisfying to see the game running better with every update!

The hunted will turn into the hunter...

[h3]🎮 About the New Game Mode[/h3]
In an earlier devlog, I mentioned that a new game mode was planned for this December. I’ve decided to postpone its release because it’s just not ready yet. I want to make sure it’s in a good state before sharing it with you all.

That said, I’m eager to gather your feedback on it! I’m planning to release the game mode on the experimental branch first, possibly in January, and may even organize broader playtests to see if it’s heading in the right direction. Keep an eye out for more news on this soon!

[h3]🎁 Holiday Break[/h3]
As the holiday season approaches, the weekly devlogs will pause for a short break and return in the second week of January. I’ll also be taking this time to rest and recharge.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and an amazing start to 2025. Thank you so much for your support throughout 2024, it meant the world to me. I’m super excited for what’s coming next, and I can’t wait to share more updates with you in the new year!

Take care and see you in 2025 🎉
