We are back with an update to fix some issues. Our focus now that we have done the big update released last week is to iron out as many of the issues as we can. We are really grateful to all of you for reporting the issues that you find!
Typing T in chat no longer triggers sending off text
Corrected typo in the result screen
Fixed issues where you would get stuck if having the fishing rod equipped while changing the direction of the river raft
Players don't rotate if pressing the mouse while they are sleeping
Game buttons are shown when you press back from the lobby
Fixed issues where the push to talk sometimes started unmuted. We are really keen on ironing out any issues with push to talk. If you still have issues, please let us know!
The killer is not among us now works in single player.
The list of public games refreshes every 10th second, so you don't have to keep pressing refresh to find a game.
Update the persistent data save, to make sure you keep hats and coins between game sessions (if you have lost some of your hard-earned coins or hat, message EtherealSamurai on our discord server).

And we also added a new super cool hat requested by Ravynia!
Never alone
Hi all survivors and hidden killers. Thank you for all your feedback. Based on the reflections we have done after the free weekend, we have decided to make some major changes to our game.
AI bots.
It's been really fun watching you play our game. But we know that many of you are struggling to find a full game. Because of this, we are making bots that you can add to the game. This will of course lack some of the social deception element of the game, but it will let you try out the elements of the game alone. And make the games more interesting if you add a few bots when you are playing with one or two friends.
Server browser.
Instead of matchmaking, you can start your own public or private gaming lobby, or join a game someone has started. The idea is to have more player-initiated games. This also saves us the hosting cost, so we can keep the game running years after the hype from the commercial release. We know how frustrating it is when an indie developer has taken down the game when you want to revisit it years later!
Reduce pricing
Speaking of player-initiated games. We know that our game is the most fun when you are playing it with your friends. To make it easier to get them to pick up a copy we have decided to reduce the price of the game to $4.99, £3.99, €3.99!
Text chat
We designed Killer in the Cabin to be a hype social game, and we think that players talking together is at the heart of this. But if you are discussing who was near the cabin when one of the players dies, or just chatting about things happening in your lives. But we know that some of you are not comfortable with talking on the internet, and some of you are having issues with your mic :) So for you, we added a text chat.
Combat
Melee has been revised, and it should feel much better now. That character will face the camera direction when punching or stabbing, so there should be a lot less punching in the air. (It was never you ravynia, it was always our fault) We’ve greatly increased the damage done by knives, and slightly increased damage from punches.
We’ve done quite drastic changes to the game, so it might cause new issues. Please bear with us, and as always we REALLY appreciate all the help with people reporting issues!

Update 5 Hotfix 1.1.708
Hi,
A few quick fixes for yesterdays update: - Traps can now be used on wolves (Thanks Cyber7148!) - Fixed issue that forced that bought American hat - Fix invisible fishing rod
Update 1.1.692
Now that most of you have finished unpacking your Christmas gifts, we thought it would be a good time for a juicy update for all you killers out there. Like the previous ones, this one has quite a lot of fixes, but we also added a couple of ways for the killer to do their objective. And anyone joining a lobby this holiday will unlock a Santa hat.
Added beartrap that can be placed out in whatever devious place you can think of. It does a little bit of damage, but it also leaves the target pinned in place until another player (hopefully not the killer) comes and sets them free. Items on the ground near you are now shown in a container, making it easier to select the items you want. It is now possible to extinguish the flames in the fireplace. But why would anyone do that, that would make the cabin freezing cold again ;) It is now possible to fish in any of the rivers and lakes, and we have also fixed a lot of fishing issues. Dead players now have ragdoll simulation to stop them from blocking chokepoints and for some fun situations. A backpack spawns at the place the player died with their possessions. Added custom mouse cursors to better match the style of the game Fixed issue with getting wrong hair when changing avatars and hats in the lobby Fixed bug that sometimes made it impossible to vote and that could cause you to not get back the control of the character after a vote. Improved dart so it looks more natural when you throw it Improved punching so it alternates between left and right punch, and feels more satisfying. Join a lobby game (either private or public) to unlock the Santa hat). Added screen with instructions on how the gameplay elements work in the main menu. Added sleep music Fixed so inside ambiances does not play on the roof of the cabin
