The Clown's Forest

January 4th 2023 Patch
Here is a small Patch for a sequence in the game that was a bit too difficult and softlocked.

Hope you all had a good new week!

The Clown's Forest: OVERHAUL UPDATE
Here you are everyone! The biggest, and one of the final major updates to the game! This update adds so much to the base game (If you still have a save in the game, delete it as it will no longer work, or save over it with a new game) Here is the changelog:

Changes in the Overhaul update:
- added a Journal System
- added new maps
- added a new intro
- added more chases
- added permadeath mode
- added more flashbacks
- added new puzzles
- added a warning screen
- added new characters
- added new endings
- added a memorial to my friend

- removed mouse movement/interaction
- removed an ending that unobtainable

- changed story and dialogue
- changed the intensity of the main menu static
- changed the viper interactive bootup screen
- changed the normal difficulty to easy, and hard difficulty to normal
- changed statue puzzle to actually be dangerous
- changed the way the endings work and how they are written

This update is meant to give the game a new breath of life to tie into a bigger story for The Clown's Forest 2. The original release of the game was intended to be a one-off, which meant it was harder to lead into a sequel.

Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

I thank everyone for their patience for the game, and I am looking forward to getting this game into your hands!

Demo Issues
Hey everyone! If you noticed, I have taken the DEMO down off Steam temporarily, as I was trying to add a patch to the Steam Page, it gave me too many errors, which eventually also corrupted the main build of the demo itself, so, unfortunately, I had to take the Demo down, while I work on a way to fix the Demo's download! Sorry for this inconvenience! I will update you all once the demo is available to be downloaded again!
