Quality of Life Improvements, Music, Motion Blur Removal, and BREATHING

Patch Notes for Version 0.9.75

[h2]Gameplay Enhancements:[/h2]

  • Motion Blur Slider: Players can now adjust the intensity of motion blur to their preference. Whether you prefer a cinematic feel or a crisp experience, find your sweet spot!
  • Breathing System (Pointless Edition): I've added a breathing mechanic because… well, why not? Breathe rhythmically as you explore the game world. It might not impact gameplay, but it’s there!
  • Menu Tweaks: The Settings and In-Game Options menus have been tweaked due to the addition of new elements. Hopefully the new layouts don't suck ;).


[h3]Bug Fixes and Improvements:[/h3]
  • Music Speakers: Two speakers have been added to the room with the glass doors. No more eerie silence! These play royalty free music, and can be disabled by turning the slider in the Game Options all the way down.
  • Vanishing Anomaly Fix: Previously, the lady-vanishing anomaly was a bit elusive. Turns out, I can't do math ;). Fixed now!
  • Motion Blur Disable: Motion blur can be tweaked or entirely disabled by using the Motion Blur slider in the Settings menu.
  • Movement Responsiveness: Movement has been fine-tuned to be more responsive.
  • Breathing System (Still Pointless): Yes, we’re committed to pointlessness. Breathe in, breathe out. It won’t affect your stamina or health, but hey, immersion!

Station Announcements Volume + Other changes

By popular request it is now possible to disable or reduce the volume of the Station Announcements. They have also been reduced in frequency.

This patch also changes the names of the graphics settings options to better fit their visuals, anomalies now spawn slightly more frequently, and other small bugs have been tweaked.

Bug Fixes

This patch addresses the following:

  • Fixes an issue that could break then game if stopping at the wrong point in the starter hallway
  • Fixed issues that would cause 2 anomalies to never spawn
  • Fixed an audio issue in the starter hallway with certain buzzing lights
  • Fixed an issue with the CCTV anomaly if heading backwards before it is fully triggered
  • Fixed an issue that caused the mouse to appear on screen if dying to certain anomalies


Please be aware that this also removes the "BONELESS" anomaly. It simply broke too many things and couldn't easily be fixed 😅 This anomaly will be removed from your save data without affecting anything else.

Improved Anomalies

Just a small update to improve a certain anomaly where objects behave a little "Out of this world".

Win Tracking, Better Checklist, a New CCTV Anomaly

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]
  • The Main Menu now tracks your total wins with Stars on the “Aldercourt” display
  • A brand new CCTV anomaly has been added (with an additional nasty surprise)
  • The “Anomaly Checklist” has been updated to make it much more readable


[h3]Bug Fix[/h3]
  • One of the anomalies was failing to trigger, causing the “All Anomalies” achievement to become inaccessible. This has now been fixed.
