Devlog #016 | Final Touches
Traps and the Ringmaster’s Influence
The Ringmaster has prepared the stage for his final act, introducing new stationary traps to his casino. Among these are exhaust vents, consumed by mold, which release poisonous gas in desperate bursts at anyone lingering beneath them.
Be mindful of the mold—breathe in too much, and…
You’ll be snared in his strings forever!
Cutscenes and Lore
We’ve completed the last of the game’s cutscenes! These include mid-contract events that immerse you further into the action, as well as concluding scenes that tie together the hard work you’ve poured into the “Hunt” contracts.
Sometimes, the credits aren’t the end.
We’ve also polished the game’s lore, enriching the story of Intersection it’s intrigues and the distortions they house.
Can’t you understand it’s perfection?
What’s that? Oh well, back to work…
Hunt Contracts
We’ve finalized the balance for the “Hunt” contracts, making them the ultimate test of everything you’ve learned throughout the game. These missions push your skills, strategies, and perks to their limits, culminating in an explosive and satisfying payoff.
Let’s blow this damned place up.
That was REALLY close.

The prologue introduces three unique antagonists: The Ringmaster, The Magic Eye and the Dummies.
The Ringmaster is an entertainer by trade. He's not interested in merely chasing you or causing harm—his ambition is far greater. He aims to deliver the grandest, most unforgettable spectacle the world has ever seen. To achieve this, he drives his victims to the edge of madness, turning them into perfect actors for his twisted stage.
Next, we have The Magic Eye—a blind, distorted figure that haunts the hotel section of the abandoned casino. Forever seeking the approval of its master, this distortion will stop at nothing to impose the sinister will of the Aethernus’ owner. At first glance, he may appear old and frail, but when he senses an unwanted guest, his terrifying true form emerges.
Hired 2 Die: Prologue will be releasing very, very soon. Be sure to check it out before the full game releases early next year!
If the news of our upcoming spectacle has piqued your interest, we kindly invite you to wishlist the prologue and the full game on Steam. By doing so, you'll receive notifications about news, release dates, and more!
