Halloween has finally escaped the Debt Collector's claws and is invading Coffin Rot's bar! Skeletons have broke into the pumpkin supply and now will wear them as they attack. Captains are more thirsty and are looking for that sweet pumpkin spice latte they ador. Hop into your favorite undead tavern and get to servin'. This season we want to make sure more players than ever can experience the event. You can now buy Coffin Rot on all platforms for $4.99!
Coffin Rot Brewing Co. gets it BIGGEST UPDATE EVER - Version 2.0 out now!

Your bar includes a few new collectable goodies to help liven (ha, get it?) the place up.
Just cause you're dead doesn't mean you can't be pretty.
We added all new cosmetics because these skeletons rock the beanie look, and we weren't going to deny them that.

Thank you so much for your support over the years, and we look forward to you enjoying the new version of Coffin Rot Brewing Co.
We've patched some known issues and added a special new set of gameplay effects to each hand cosmetic.
Cosmetic Enchantment Effects: Each hand cosmetic will provide a passive bonus during gameplay. For example, the Barkeeps Gloves increase your drink fill rate by 25% per hand, Lazy Larry's Helping Hands earn you +2g per skelly shot, the list continues. Mix and match both hands or double down on a cosmetic enchantment for double the effect (+50% drink fill, +4g per shot). One additional hand cosmetic has been added as well, The Tomblord's Phantom Phalanges (eek!).
Oculus Quest Controller Support: We'd received numerous reports of Oculus players experiencing issues with button mapping actions in-game. We're very thankful to IronWolfajw, RudimentaryRecall, and everyone in addition who reported this issue to us. These Oculus compatibility issues have now been resolved.
Misc. Additions: We've fixed things here and there. Spiced drinks are easier to make. You'll see a prompt to defend your gold during the first night of the Debt Collector, and you'll always be prompted by the Crystal Ball. Larry remains an obnoxious chatterbox but hopefully we can come to forgive him. The text on the right expansion's tap list purported all grogs to cost 15g when in fact they cost 10g. I'm not sure where all that extra 5g was going but we'll launch an investigation shortly -- no questions at this time please.
Halloween Update!

Coffin Rot OST Now Available!
Ahoy!
I'm Bear, the programmer and composer on Coffin Rot VR. I spent the last two years recording my own original soundtrack for Coffin Rot Brewing Co.
Along with this being my first published VR title, it was also my first time publishing my music. The album is influenced by improv jazz, traditional Irish folk, classical guitar, and by styles of artists like Ween and Grant Kirkhope. Everything was recorded using a Blue Yeti and mixed using Soundtrap, Spotify's online studio platform (which I highly recommend).
Hello there, fellow bartenders! With the upcoming beta and launch date, we figured we should start providing progress on where we are and where we plan to be.
For starters, a beta build has been submitted and is awaiting approval. This means anyone signed up for the beta will have a chance to play it this upcoming Friday and help shape the future of Coffin Rot! There's a lot of balancing that needs to be done before our launch date this winter, and with your help, we'll be able to hit that mark on the head.
We have 3 of the 4 enemy types implemented for the beta test now, with the only one missing being the Necromancer. The Necromancer is the leader of the undead horde and has mastered the art of reanimation. Without him being destroyed, hordes of Juju floaters will be spawned from the corpses of enemies to wreak havoc on your gold stash. Destroy him at all costs.
The Debt Collector boss fight has also been implemented, but we're looking for ways to make it more interesting. With some playtesting and feedback, we hope to make the fight as enjoyable as possible.
The last important thing that needs to be added is the progression system. We found that players had a difficult time jumping right into the role of a master bartender and want to pace that experience out a bit more efficiently. This will be accomplished through gaining long term currency referred to as "diamonds". Players can purchase the necessary upgrades for the bar through the ledger using these diamonds.
After the beta test, we'll have a lot of tweaking to do, but will be sure to share our experience with everyone interested!
The beta test will be live on Friday, October 11th to October 14th. Please join our discord to learn more!
With drunken love, -The Nooner Bear Team

Avast ye, fellow freebooters!
We’ve been working extra hard these past few months wrapping up our core mechanics, and now we need your help!
We’ll be running a series of betas where you can take a stab at the bartending life, with the first beta test happening on October 11th to October 14th. Let us know what’s fun, or even better, what belongs at the bottom of a watery grave. We want to hear all of your feedback so that we can continue to improve and make this adventure even more thrilling before opening day!
How does one sell their soul for this venture, you may be askin’ ye self. We’ll be moderating and taking feedback through Discord, and that’s where your curse begins: https://discord.gg/ntMwmcp
From there we’ll be collecting the interested parties and handing out Steam keys. We are currently only running on HTC Vive and Valve Index headsets, so be sure to take a look at our Steam page to make sure you have all the tech specs required to participate.
We are super appreciative of your interest in our game and are excited for you to try it out. See you on Discord!
