While we're a little behind on this update, we wanted to get some additional testing time. Thank you for your patience and hopefully, this will fix up some of our longer standing issues as well as add some requested functionality.
Fixes and Updates:
- After accessing the menu, if the controller(s) are pointed to the menu the beams will stay enabled until the first teleport has been fixed
- Added rotation abilities when using trackpad movement, along with the ability to swap which hand controls rotate.
- Reworked the achievement system to be more robust. Upon logging in for the first time, you should receive any missing achievements.
- KB/M we've attempted to make the rooms a little less glitchy by providing some more substance to some objects, while removing substance from others.
- KB/M fixed an issue where players were getting stuck on held objects.
- Room 6 Trophy Room - Glitch where the blocks behind the moving walls stayed after the wall moved. Caused some issues with teleporting and KB/M movement. These block now get removed properly.
Thank you all for your feedback and as always, post any questions, comments, or concerns in the forum.
March Update
Greetings Gamers!
Thank you all for your feedback thus far. We apologize for any issues that may have come up during your playthroughs, but know that we are working to correct many of the bugs that were experienced.
A special thank you to all those players who have uploaded playthroughs to YouTube. We have really enjoyed watching you all play through the game and it has provided us with excellent feedback as to what we can do to make the game better.
We are hoping to release a patch in the near future to fix up some of the more interesting issues. Currently, a few players have denoted that they are not receiving achievements, as well as a request for supporting rotation as part of our trackpad locomotion, among other bug fixes.
More info when the patch releases, however, if you are interested in testing out the current patch, please feel free to subscribe to our beta channel for the game. While there are some rough edges for the newer features, bug fixes should be present for most of the issues at this time.
Happy Gaming!

Happy Holidays! The Unwelcomed is 30% off during the Steam Winter Sale!
It feels like forever since we've been able to post a new release news article! We're all excited to show you what we've been doing for the last 6 months. If you have played the game previously, we hope that you check it out again, as we've made some sweeping changes to ensure that the experience is as flawless as possible and even more enjoyable. For those who are picking it up for the first time, enjoy! We think you'll be pleasantly surprised by not only the amount of content, but the quality and thought that has been put into our project.
While we know we may not be the best game on the market, or the most streamlined, we know that we've done something great here and all of our devs are very happy with the turnout, not only of the game itself, but of the community that is behind it. Without you all, we wouldn't have a reason to spend countless hours ensuring that it looks 'just right'.
As we are drawing close to the end of our Early Access development period, we ask that anyone who has the time, please take a moment to review us as well as leave feedback for any issues that you've encountered. This will ensure that when we do move out of Early Access, that we'll be as polished as possible and that any one playing our full game for the first time will benefit from the experience and input from the gaming community.
