  • Patrol System
  • Death and Spectator System
  • Filters
  • Improved Career Mode

Patrol System


A patrol system has been added, which can be disabled in classic mode from the panel. It will be activated on difficulties higher than easy starting at 6 am.

House:


Circus:


Daycare:


Death and Spectator System


When the patrol catches you, you will die. If all players are dead, the game will end. If only one player has died, the game will continue without them, and the player can observe everything from a death perspective.



Filters


21 filters have been added. Some are useful for improving vision, while others are simply interesting experiments.



Improved Career Mode


A system has been added where you will now be tasked with finding information about likes, dislikes, friends, enemies, hatreds, and loves of just one doll, along with 1 to 6 photos, turning on the light, etc.



Customization Purchases


Customization has been completely reset for all players. Items now need to be purchased before they can be equipped.



Trading Cards


Trading cards are purchased through Steam and will occasionally drop for players. This feature is experimental, so there may be issues.



New Achievements


3 new achievements have been added!
  • Caught (Let a patrol catch you)
  • Artist (Customize your shelter or caravan)
  • Wasteful (Purchase all customizer items)

WORKING ON UPDATE 11!

It's time to continue development! After nearly 4 months since the announcement of multiplayer development, we have finally completed Update 10 today!

Now it’s time to move on to new things!

Remember, you can follow the development of updates on Trello:
https://trello.com/b/0DFFap5d/doll-impostor-community-issues

As well as videos that will be published on Patreon!

Some of the most important features this new update will bring:

  • Entity
  • Buy customizable items
  • Improved Career Mode
  • Doll cards


Entity

The Entity will be a kind of ghost roaming the maps. It will sit in a chair waiting for the right moment to move and patrol. You’ll need to avoid it to safely inspect the dolls. If the Entity sees you, it will chase you until it catches you, and when it does, it will kill you. In multiplayer, a player who dies will no longer be needed to continue the investigation.

This can be enabled/disabled from the panel (just like jumpscares).

Buy customizable items

Starting with the next update, all customization will cost money. This adds more value and purpose to the money earned in the game.

Improved Career Mode

The Career Mode will be made more dynamic. Although there were plans to move Career Mode to classic maps, for now, it will remain in the current map with the current actions and dolls. The Entity will also be added here.

The highlight is that the tutorial will be removed, replaced with a to-do list. You’ll only need to discover a few key details about the dolls per case instead of every single piece of information (only what’s requested on the to-do list).

Doll cards

It’s too early to provide details since this feature will involve Steam’s item market. As with the trading cards, this will be our first time tackling something like this, so we’re unsure how complicated it might be. The goal is to release items on the Steam Market that can be bought and sold. These items will include collectible cards for each doll, potentially including legendary cards. These cards will be collected in an album located in your shelter, along with packs to obtain new cards!

In the future, we plan to implement something similar but using in-game currency!

Thank you so much for staying tuned!

UPDATE #10 IS NOW OFFICIALLY OUT OF BETA!

Thank you all so much for your patience with the beta bugs. Veteran players know that betas are usually done through Steam betas and not publicly, but this has been the most challenging update so far. Multiplayer is a complete challenge, and there are bugs that are very difficult to replicate.

However, we have finally come out of beta! This now allows us to focus on the next update!

Thank you all so much for your comments, feedback, and bug reports!

Here, I’m sharing with you all the updates and patches we’ve released during this BETA period!
