We're working super hard on Chapter 2! It'll be over double the length of chapter one, with more interesting puzzles, scary moments and new monsters. There's so much new content it's hard not to spoil! Development is going fantastic and we should be done very soon.
Here's some screenshots while you wait!
MULTIPLAYER
THE CITY
The city is our new MP map, and it is massive. It's many, many times bigger than the school. There's new monsters and areas to explore, which we aren't gonna spoil just yet :).
But trust us, it's good.
THE SCHOOL
REWORKS
Pretty much everything in the MP is getting a re-work, from the AI to the character models. Every single aspect is majorly improved and almost completely overhauled. Anything that didn't feel fun has been completely re-made to suit the game better. We're so excited for you to try it out!
THE PUPPET
The puppet is waiting for you.
The puppet has been made entirely from scratch again, whos back again out for blood. AI, Sounds, Animations, Models, he's all new.
GRAPHICS
Almost every single area has been re-done, with added volumetric fog, lighting and a bunch more detail to the environments.
MOVEMENT
Movement is completely overhauled from the ground up. We're super proud with how it turned out, and it makes encounters with the puppet so much more intense! The city has more movements mechanics on top of that, with abilities like sliding and vaulting.
NEW CHARACTERS
We've upgraded the character models to be way better! They've got better shaders and materials than whatever we had before. These are custom models, so we hope you like them!
We don't have an exact release date yet, but it'll be soon. Thank you for stick with us! -Max, Teardrop Games CEO
State of the Game - January 2022
Hello everyone! Hope your all had a great Christmas and New Year! Here's the state of the game right now:
CHAPTER 2
Development of Chapter 2 began a couple weeks ago, and it's going great! It will launch alongside the Multiplayer map soon! It's be more than double as long, packed with way more scary moments and a lot more creepy atmosphere, I think you all will really love it! I'll be doubling down on story, scares and atmosphere.
Check out our new monster design
THE NEW MP MAP
The new MP Map began development a couple weeks ago too, and it's turning into something that makes the old map look tiny in comparison. The new map is OVER 30x BIGGER than the previous one, with multiple enemy types, behaviours and scares. It's basically a small sized open world map now. The new map is named "The City" and is an abandoned city. There are multiple enemy types and some fun twists and surprises throughout the map.
Every single aspect is improved, and it addresses all the core complaints of the last map. I really, really think you will all love it. The map is scheduled to release alongside Chapter 2, sometime soon. While you wait, here is the trailer:

REWORKS
Some areas in the game have been lacking, and bringing other parts down with it. In Update 2.00, I'll be addressing these things to help elevate the gameplay experience.
-Gameplay in the first MP Map will be re-paced and re-done -Difficulty adjustments -Pause screen -Areas in chapter 1 -Credits & Saving ..and more!
MORE STUFF
Update 2.00 will bring some extra stuff with it!
-Portuguese Language -20 new Steam Achievements(50 in total now) -New Progression System -Mac & Linux support ..and much much more!
You might not have noticed it, but I secretly snuck in part one of the Christmas update. This fixes most bugs in the game, but part 2 is coming soon
Controller Support
The new update will bring controller support! You'll be able to play the entire game with the controller of your choosing! Controller rebinding will come in a later update alongside key rebinding.
THANK YOU
