Update #1

Thank you for all the feedback!
We were (and still are) in joy with all the kind things you guys have said about our game thus far. Rest assured, we have paid close attention to your criticism and are focused on making The Padre better than ever.

Right off the bat however, we could not solve every issue, but we are determined to transform our "promising" game to a great one.

The Upcoming Changes and the Reasoning Them;

  • We added three new rooms to the story - just because ;)
  • Two new weapons will appear somewhere in the mansion: Based on user feedback
  • In-game cutscenes added - We would like to make the game more movie-like, and draw you into the story, this seems to be a great tool to do that.
  • Puzzle Hints: some of you had problems with our puzzles. We did not want to make them easier, but instead added hints to understand their mechanisms better.
  • Zombies are more unpredictable, fast and deadly in close combat - We want to move away from close combat and make it a last resort. To be honest, it was not fun. We would like you to have fun.
  • Some items were hidden but not intentionally. Now you can see them.


As stated earlier, we are updating the game constantly, but there are a lot of things to improve. This is our first update. There are many more still to come.

We are confident that the game will slowly grow longer and overall, more fun!

And lastly, we would like to hear your voice about the changes! That’s the easiest way for us to know if we’re going in the right direction!

Till next time,

The Padre Team
