The Painscreek Killings News

1. We added Steam Cloud support for our game. Even if enabled, it will only affect new files, so some old pictures for ex. may not sync properly. Please report any bugs you find in the Bug/Technical Support forum. Thank you.


1. Fixed some typos.


1. Fixed a bug with getting stuck in the well.

1. We found that an old bug, that despite being fixed may still be affecting your save data. If you started your game before this bug was fixed you may have trouble getting 100%. We now fixed it so that even old saves are free from this bug. If you want us to check if this is the case with your data to unlock the "Completion" Achievement please send it to [email protected] (Your saveData.txt file is stored at 'C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\SaveData').
2. Due to the fact that many players have been restarting their game to unlock the "You're Fired" Achievement, we made it so that the game automatically creates a backup of your old savedata when you press Save Game in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\OldSaveData. However this only saves your previous savedata, and if you start a new game twice it will overwrite your old savedata.
3. Fixed a small issue with some photos randomly not loading.
4. Added a few quality of life changes and fixed some typos.
5. Increased movement speed by a slight bit.

Fixed a glitch with items being removed from inventory, if you were affected by this please send your savedata.txt found in (C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\EQ Studios\The Painscreek Killings\SaveData) to [email protected] along with what items you lost and we will fix your save data for you.
