Killer in the Cabin

Killer in the cabin is now available in Chinese!

We are happy to announce that a visit to our cozy cabin should now be more enjoyable to our Chinese-speaking players.

A big thanks to Guoqing Z for doing the translation and being so helpful with the implementation.

Is there any other language in which you would like the game to be available? And as always, please let us know if you have any suggestions or find any errors!

๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ”“ Ghosts Unleashed! ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ‘ป

In this update, we're bringing the afterlife to life! We want all you dearly departed players to have a hauntingly good time, and for our streaming specters to spook their viewers in style. So get ready to rattle some chains and float through these new features:

Bye-bye boring gray screens! We've banished the monotony by adding a touch of color. Now, after a few seconds of being deceased, the screen fades back to a slightly desaturated version of the normal mode. It's like seeing the world through ghostly sunglasses!

Spectating just got an otherworldly upgrade! We've fine-tuned the controls, so now you'll feel like a true ghostly puppet master. No more getting tangled in the scenery. Prepare to glide gracefully and scare your friends silly with some fancy movements. You'll be the TikTok sensation of the afterlife!

But wait, there's more! As a spirited spectator, we've bestowed upon you some spooktacular abilities to liven up the afterlife experience:

Give 'em a ghostly slap! It won't do much damage, but it's the perfect way to playfully haunt the living..
Offer a small spectral heal. Who says ghosts can't be helpful? Keep those living players on their toes and give 'em a chance to say, "Thanks, ghost friend!"
Summon a random ghostly light. Illuminate the darkest corners of the cabin and give the atmosphere an eerie ambiance.
Terrifying "Boing!" sound effect, startle the living with this spectral surprise!

We hope these spectral additions will make your time in our cabin even more chillingly enjoyable. And remember, if you encounter any unearthly issues or have ghoulish suggestions, be sure to let us know! Happy haunting, and don't forget to share your spooky adventures!


๐Ÿ” Finding players made easier! ๐Ÿ”

We are thrilled to see more and more people enjoying their time in our cabin! In the latest update, we have made a significant change to public games to enhance the experience of finding fellow players.

The notable addition is the introduction of a 'Play Public Game' button. By simply pressing this button, you will be able to join an existing public game if one is available. In case there are no ongoing public games, pressing the button will start a new public game for you to jump into.

While we understand that finding a public game can still pose some challenges, we believe this update will make it more likely for you to encounter fellow players. It is important to note that we anticipate many of you will continue playing with your friends as usual. However, we encourage you and your group of friends to also try out public games, as it might lead to some pleasant surprises, introducing you to new players who can join your gaming sessions.

We have kept private games unaffected, ensuring that you can still enjoy playing exclusively with your friends. The option to play privately remains unchanged, giving you full control over your gaming experience.

Thank you all for your continued support, and we hope this update brings even more enjoyment to your time spent in the cabin!

The end of democracy?

Attention all players: A new update has been released for the game, allowing players to turn off voting. This means that players will no longer have the option to vote out the killer, and will have to find alternative ways to deal with them. This update is available now and can be found in the game's options menu.
Happy playing

Happy Holidays

Our holiday update is out, so be sure to grab the Santa hat while it's available!

To celebrate the true spirit of the holidays, we have improved the combat in the game. There are hotkeys for equipping and unequipping weapons, and we have improved hit detection so it should be easier to actually stab someone."

Update 1.1.1054

Back with a small update with more bugfixes
The update fixes the following issues:

  • The hat you selected in the lobby would sometimes not carry over into the game
  • Removed XP. It did not serve any point. The idea was for it to unlock that hats, but then we added coins which we thought was much more fun. But we forgot to remove the hats ๐Ÿ˜…
  • Health is no longer less than 0 in the result screen, and we also removed the + when you had negative karma.
  • Added the first batch of streams to the game's credits
  • Dying on beartraps would spawn many backpacks and cause the game to slow down

Smarter bots!

As requested by the players, this update dramatically improves how the bots play. Playing single-player against bots should be a lot more enjoyable and even better when you add them to add some excitement to multiplayer games with a low player count. We have made the following improvements to the bots


The game will conclude when there are just bots left
Fixed bug that made bots immune to poison
Bots are smarter with what kind of items they loot
Bots vote consistently (so spamming votes will not work anymore) and will always vote yes on anyone that has done damage to them.
Bots start a vote for the attacker if they see someone being attacked
Bots will start a vote for anyone that attacks them once the muted period is over (but not if they are dead by that time ofc).
Bots will start random votes when they feel like it.
Bots keep running while attacking, making it much harder to outrun them.
A killer bot will try to strangle sleeping characters.
A Killer bot will sometimes attack another character if they are alone.
Doing damage to a bot will make them flee or fight back.
Bots now sleep. We don't know if they dream of electric sheep.
The bots have been named after some of the wonderful people in the games community: GummiJay, Van Whiskers, Xantui, DavesAndDonts, Ravynia, Melia, Birchyfrufru, TownCreep and Senpai

In addition, the update brings the following improvements:
Fixed issue where you could buy any hat under 50 coins, and none that cost more.
You now see icons for if there is a no or yes vote, making votes much more enjoyable.
Game settings are remembered between matches and shown correctly in the lobby
Fixed an issue that could cause the game to crash when returning to the lobby.



We appreciate it when you report issues and make suggestions for the game! We are especially looking forward to hearing your comments on the bots.



Achievements unlocking!

Back with a new update where all the issues with unlocking achievements should be fixed, so get out there and start looking for cookies :) And some additional improvements:


  • Fixed so that all achievements can be unlocked.
  • Logs now spawn near the woodcutting area, not in your inventory
  • The one hosting multiplayer games can now kick players
  • Added input settings for the keys to hide GUI (default Z) and to jump between players to spectate (default Page Up and Page Down)
  • Fixed issue with overlapping GUI elements on the How to play section in the lobby.



As always, we really appreciate it when you report issues you are having with the game!
