We made some focus on the playability. We change the entire gameflow of the previous version. The main problem of version 1.0.008 was the gameflow, and how the player tried to solve the situations to move forward. Some puzzles were too hard, so we changed the difficulty. On the other hand, in the mission 1 you had to go all over the house just to find 3 photos. We have changed that, and the game design became linear, therefore, we will be much more oriented. Therefore, we focus on balancing the playability of this version.
We added new puzzles.
We have been created new gameplays.
We reduced the complexity of the puzzle with sliding pieces.
We created a different Anna's AI
We modify the time of falling when the player doesn't have a candle
Hungarian translation was added and German was completed.
We created and changed some graphics details in the canvas, loading, and in the level.
What has been fixed?
We fixed a bug related to doors.
We fixed a bug related to Henrietta.
We fixed a bug related to the player.
We fixed a bug related to the move of the hand in some interactions.
We fixed some translations errors.
We decreased the chance of falling when running without a light.
We fixed a problem related to the secondary mission.
We fixed the camera movement in some interactions.
What will be the next?
We are working on chapter 2 and a completely different situations to face.
New missions.
New scenario.
New gameplays.
New puzzles.
A little more of the story...

Where are we?
Hi guys!, We are here to let you know that we are gonna be updating the game soon, with several new things such as more missions, autosave, new environments, voices, and more. We organized our time and set some goals for this year and for the release of the game in the year 2020. The idea of this announcement is to inform the status of the game. While the missions are relatively fast to develop, the core of the game took time. I wrote the scripts to be extensible, flexible and to use the less CPU possible, and Ignacio made the art cool and without smashing your GPU.
This graph shows the state of the development at this moment, and what left.
This other graph basically shows the amount of modifications in the game. (each modification has between 10 and 100 changes in code, art, sound, music, etc)

Version 1.0.004
The version 1.0.004 has arrived
The last months have been really hard, we have been working on the main structure of the game.
We worked on the objects that will illuminate our path.
The candle can turn off when we run, on fast turns, or in some specific events.
The candle will also melt. You have to look for candles in the house in case it goes out.
If you let the candle melting completely, it could burn your hand, and you would end up releasing it.
When the candle or the object that illuminates our path goes out, the paranormal entities will be able to attack us more easily. We have some plans on this point..
You must keep the X key pressed to see how many candles you are carry.
The game will have several easter eggs, and we have added some new ones.
The environment will now change, the sections of the house could change every time you play. Remember, it's a nightmare.
We added a console that can be opened with F1. To watch the available codes, type "Nightmares." and the autocomplete will show you the options availables.
You can check the fps in the game with Nightmares.Showfps. To remove the fps you must type Nightmares.Hidefps
We added some new models in the house.
Corrections
In these months we have fixed many bugs, and the game is much more stable
Some bugs have been fixed in the gameplays.
Bugs were corrected in the main character, sometimes when opening doors he was decapitated lol :P
We fix a bug where the decapitated entity was spawned in impossible places
Foot slip corrected (All the animations still need to be corrected, the final version will have mocaps or that is what we want, we are collecting money for this point)
We fix the shake when Henrietta killed us face to face, that was happening in some hardwares.
In another thread
We are working on new environments in the house, new paranormal entities. Some are already finished, others are being modified.
This will come only in the final version. We are creating new achievements, new missions, and they will not be easy.
What's next?
From now on, we are gonna made updates much more often.
We will release the parameters in the options menu, graphics, keyboards, etc.
We are gonna transport this option menu to the gameplay so you could change the parameter inside the game just like other games.
A new mission will come. Henrietta animations will be fixed, new models are being created and much more ...
