SuperGrandma Expansion Pack coming soon
Introducing “SuperGrandma Expansion Pack”
We are very happy to announce that The Bad Son, the indie horror RPG that offers a tribute to the classics of the genre while trying to do its bit through a narrative that parodies the control society, will receive on December 2 an expansion titled SuperGrandma Expansion Pack that will delve into the plot, characters and lore of the town of Derrigtown while also adding a new playable mechanic.
In this way, the player will be able to visit the Derrigtown Hotel, located next to the parking lot, where he will meet Dolores' mother: the most grandmother of all grandmothers, known as SuperGrandma; authoritative, rich lady, who preserves the health of the body, is however prey to concern for her daughter Dolores and her granddaughter Isabella. His soul is afflicted, but soon he will receive an unexpected visitor at his hotel: a tourist lost and dizzy as a duck needs a place to spend the night and…
Unravel the mystery that is hidden in the hotel!
How to play the expansion?
If you have the base game, you just need to download the update. It's free and will be available on Steam on December 2!
Big Update!
Version 1.2 of The Bad Son offers new content, which players can enjoy right now, and among which is a new map and tributes to the anti-authoritarian film The Truman Show and to the Brave New World author. We also fixed health point bugs thanks to the community.
Below we refer to the main new features included in version 1.2:
New map
Many players have asked us to include a map; in this sense, although we are not convinced that the exploration experience is the same with a map, we prefer that player has the option to use it in case they wish.
The Other Truman Show + achievement
In this new side quest, unlike in the movie, Tom will not be trying to take a bus to escape control, but rather will be trying to convince the taxi driver to drive him out of Derrigtown. Nevertheless...
Somatic soma + achievement
What happened to the junkies in town after the guerrilla war started? Who the hell cares about them? How can they stand another minute without the soma the system offers while their heads are eaten by monkeys? Find out in this new side quest, which pays tribute to Huxley, author of Brave New World.
Bug fixes
Thanks to the feedback we have received, we have managed to fix the bugs regarding life points. In the previous version, when Tom put on a workman's helmet or wielded a pistol, the hit points could change confusingly. Those bugs are gone! Thanks for the feedback!
Play the new version of The Bad Son!

Improved English translation
Good news! After the suggestions of some English curators, who advised us to improve the English translation; we now release version 1.1, whose main novelty is the improvement of the English translation.
Exclusive content during launch week
Hi,
We want to tell you that we would like to reward the players who support the proposal during the launch week, so that those who immerse themselves in the intriguing adventure that The Bad Son offers from the day of release -October 26- until the 2nd of November will have the possibility to obtain:
A golden egg:
Discover the magical effects of this strange egg produced by Tom's unconscious.
Gallinaceous Achievement:
During the interaction with the hen that lays the golden eggs, known to her friends by the nickname Chickengame, you will be able to reply something that will make the bird happy...
On the night of October 7, the friends of TodasGamers were the first to play The Bad Son live; we enjoyed as children with them, and we also had the opportunity to notice that it was necessary to improve the information regarding the controls of the game, since these had been unclear for our friends.
In this way, the player can be clearly informed about the controls after having selected the language and decided whether or not to watch the prologue.
About gamepad controls:
We have adapted the controls to the model that uses the Xbox controller, used not only by the Xbox 360, One or Series X/S controllers themselves, but also by controllers from other brands.
If you have a Switch and PC compatible controller that doesn't follow the Xbox model's button layout, you can change the gamepad settings from Steam if you wish.
The Bad Son has received a pre-launch update. In this way, version 1.0.1 includes some of the suggestions that the Steam curators have sent us, among which the new difficulty modes stand out.
New Hard Mode
Do you want a more challenging experience? Then select hard mode; the enemies will be stronger and you will hardly receive healing items.
Normal mode is the most recommended
If you don't know which difficulty mode to choose, we recommend that you select the normal difficulty, although if you think that a part of the game is too complicated for you or, on the contrary, you want a greater challenge, then you can adjust the difficulty selector to your liking.
Easy mode focuses on exploration
In case you want to focus your gaming experience on exploration, you can play in easy mode, without worrying too much about the enemies.
We are starting to send keys to Steam curators to try out the indie horror RPG with hide and seek mechanics that pays homage to the classics of the genre while trying to do its bit especially when it comes to the narrative plot: a kind of Anti-Oedipus in which children and young people exercise power in the town and its surroundings.

New quest added
Welcome to Derrigtown Bank?
Hello everyone,
As we mentioned before, we are improving the mechanics of the flee thanks to the help of the community. In this sense, we removed the persecution that took place in the streets of the town and included a new quest, which we would like to tell you about today.
The new adventure will be located in a horrible and devastated place: the Bank of Derrigtown. The player must hide in the cupboards as they go through the top floor of the building and turn off the ATMs, in order to mislead the enemies and reach the center: the Speculator's office, where a scene will take place that we prefer to keep in mystery at the moment.
We hope you like it!

In recent weeks we have been fortunate to have the help of several players, who have tested the beta version (currently in version 0.9.1) and who, in addition to commenting on those aspects that they liked the most, have also helped us indicating that the proposal can improve on issues such as the flee mechanics in the town, which gave an abrupt rhythm to the gameplay, focused on that part of the game in the mysterious and slower exploration time.
In this way, we have decided to remove this mechanic from the streets of the town, as well as include a new flee mission that will be available from beta version 0.9.2. and that it will take place at the Derrigtown Bank.
