Korean is now here!



Hi everyone!

Korean is now available in The Painscreek Killings! We're thrilled to bring this to our game and we hope that all our Korean fans can enjoy the game in their own language.

For any user's facing an black screen/freeze after the Unity Logo.

Recently a small group of users have faced an issue where the game would freeze on startup after the Unity logo. We aren't quite sure of why this issue occurs, and are currently looking into it. However, we do have a workaround so that you can still play the game.

First disable cloud syncing for The Painscreek Killings. (Right Click TPK in Steam, Properties, Updates, Uncheck Enable Steam Cloud)

Then delete the saveOptionData.txt (this will reset all your settings except the controls) found in ('C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\SaveData' )

If you cannot find the files, please enable show hidden files in your computer settings.

We will work to find and solve the root of this issue, but we hope this helps for now.
