Happy 1 Year and many more | Anniversary Update release date
Hello There Everyone, Today marks 1 year since THE UNKNOWN HALLS released on steam. I want to thank anyone who has been along the crazy path of changes this game has undergone.
Today I will be talking about the next big Update to TUH, The Anniversary update. This update will change the story entirely to something unique and new. New Ways to get scared while being chased, and some overall quality of life improvements.
Some new things are things to find around the mazes, now there are rest spots and labs for you to look at to make the maze feel less empty. The Quality of life improvements are menu changes to make them feel alot more full then they did before. I want to try and make it so this update will also allow for MAC support as I have had some request for that. Other than that some other new features are HANDS!!!! I know it isn't that surprising but this will make it feel less like a dark void and also this introduces the handheld Radio. The handheld Radio is constantly playing music, now when you are close to the subject your radio will start to static over. another thing is that when you get close to the subject your flashlight will now start to flicker and will make it harder to see him and where he is coming from and to make it harder to escape him. There will now also be multiple jump scared animations so when you get jump scared by the subject it will be different each time. There is also new tapes for you to listen to that replaced the old one and even notes. Notes will help explain more of the world and go a little more in-depth on lore. If wanted I am willing to add more notes if its desired.
That right now is the next big update for TUH that I have planned it will come out March 17th at 2:00pm CST. I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day :)
The Anniversary Update!!!!
What is the anniversary update? In the anniversary update, there will be multiple changes to TUH. First, the entire story will change to make more sense and be easier to learn than the previous story. There will be some quality of life changes and changes to some previous features like audio tapes and jump scares. The destroyer and the defects have new sound effects that sound more creepy and overall less loud than before. The menus have all been changed to appear more clean and less cluttered than before. There will be multiple notes at the left-over gas mask and desk that give both main lore and side stories to help make each maze feel less empty than it did before.
This update will be available on March 7th, TUH's one-year anniversary. After this update, I might stop working on TUH unless there are features people want added or bugs are found that I didn't find, but once I announce that TUH is fully done and updated, I might experiment with a console port and controller support for PC. But later in 2023, production on our dead future will start, and I will be mostly focused on that for awhile until that is done.

ANIMATION UPDATE
What was added: -New Destructor Animations -New Defect Animations unique to each one -Added Challenge maze into files What was Changed: -Created new universal Destructor Prefab so its easier to customize -Changed Defects so when you collide with them it triggers both the stun and the sound at the same time instead of the sound being activated before the stun
