MachiaVillain
Second partial hot fix
We have a new patch today:
- Save/load (60% fixed)
- Vampire burning indoor
- 0HP forest creatures
- 0HP victims
- 0HP heroes
- Virus event limited
- Sitting on inactivated table bug
- Chemistry bench display bug
- Victims not scared of spikes
- Workbench subpriority save
- Vampire hypnosis not working
- Invisible superior bed
- Crypt problem with advanced clown (clown still has no power, to be fixed)
(Some of this bugs might seem trivial, but they actually caused save and/or load issues)
We haven't forgotten Mac specific issues, we are still looking for a coder who can help with them.
On a personal note, Alex still can't see, we'll know more about it today. He thanks you for all your kind wishes, it's helping in this difficult time.
Thank you again for your support and your understanding!
Partial hot fix
Besides the many positive messages we also received reports that our minions still need to fix some bugs. Thank you, that is very helpful.
Joking aside, truth is some bugs would have already been patched, but Murphy's law struck.
Some of you might already know, we are a team of 2, one dev/coder (Alexandre) and one artist (Zimra).
After weeks of extremely hard work leading up to release, the day of the launch, Alexandre's eyes became extremely painful, and we had to go to the emergency room. He had to have a light surgery and he has trouble seeing for now. He is going to get better, but sadly in the meanwhile he can't code.
But the good news is that we are bringing aboard help in form of a coder.
Here are the bugs/issues we have started fixing with the current first emergency patch:
- Save bugs (30% fixed)
- Load bugs (30%fixed)
- Trees growing on floor (fixed)
- Minions stopping working when some rooms are completely closed
- Adding/improving hotkeys
- Proofreading the english version (done)
- Virgin detector (done)
- Rotating walls (done)
We'll release patches as soon as possible.
If you have any suggestions, you can send us a bug report with game data just by clicking on the "Send feedback" button (bottom right) with a short description in the title (so we can pinpoint the problem), it will help solving the issue, thank you!
We are sorry for the delay and share your frustration.
Thank you for your patience and understanding and your amazing support!

New Research system.
- Research tree and two research bench.

- Weapons: specific to Psychopath monsters. Enjoy stealing and using your enemies weapon against them.
Example: Dead Frog, Hangman Noose Necklace, cursing Polaroid, chainsaw, football helmet etc..
